“Because when you have a chance to be an Oscar winner for the rest of your life, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” Their reunion delighted movie fans eager to witness the duo recreate their chemistry in real life. Crystal and Ryan presented the Best Picture award while announcing the film Anora winner.
