At the 96th Academy Awards, John Cena presented the award for Best Costume Design in an unconventional manner, appearing on stage in his birthday suit, wearing nothing but an envelope. This bold move was part of a skit, paying homage to a streaker incident that occurred 50 years ago during the Oscars. Jimmy Kimmel, the host, had specifically wanted Cena to perform this streak in honor of the historical event. The skit sparked a wide range of reactions, with various news outlets and social media users commenting on Cena's daring presentation. The act was seen as both a humorous highlight of the evening and a commentary on gender norms in the entertainment industry.
