before. You know, I feel great. And after his big win, are you happy? Yeah, I'm beyond behind the scenes of Hollywood's biggest night. How proud are you of Michael? How proud is he of me? With the stars partying all night long. That's crazy. Maybe I'll get someone's number or something. E.T. with insider details on those emotional tributes. Buddy, what fun we had storming the castle. Rob and the show were people that I knew only Billy could pull something like that together. And Jane Fonda's reaction to Barbara Streisand being on stage instead of her. How come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford? He only made one movie with him. I made four. Plus, Cass reunited. It's the 14th year anniversary of our first Avengers movie. What's next for Marvel and news on a Bridesmaid sequel? What? And we get to the bottom of those Zendaya and Tom Holland rumors. Do we believe she is actually married? She's about to have one hell of a 2026.

All the red carpet couples and the red hot fashion. E.T. is actually starting right now. Hollywood's prom night has crowned its prom king. Michael B. Jordan takes home his first Academy Award for Best Actor. Hello everybody and welcome to entertainment tonight's Oscar after after part. Yes it is. You can say that Mike brought the smoke and stacked it with an Oscar. E.T. has been with him from the start of his Hollywood journey. Always humble, always gracious. And as of last night, always and forever an Academy Award winner. How are you feeling? I'm feeling great. Okay. Michael B. Jordan. I stand here because of the people that came before me. Sydney, 48, Denzel, Washington. How are you? Jamie Foxx, Lawrence Whitaker, Will Smith. Feel good or what? Congratulations, Chris. Are you happy? Yeah, I'm beyond. Michael, who celebrated with in and out, beat out Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothy Chalamet, who we spotted helping give MBJ a standing note.

Yeah, mom. What's up? My dad came in from Ghana. He flew in from Ghana to be here. My mom, dad being there and the audience being able to see that. He had a little kid of me. It's like super happy. He deserved it. Michael, a family first guy, brought repeat date mom Donna. He brought his parents to home in 2015, living with them into his early 30s to stay close. How proud of you, Michael. And check out this moment with sister Jamilla, hugging backstage before Michael received his freshly engraved best actor statuette. We're really excited. Happy to be here. I'm so proud of him. Dream big, man. You don't dream big. Long before Oscar Gold, ET was first with Michael in 2005 on the set of all my children. And after starring in the wire and Friday night lights, it was 2013's Fruitvale Station when he first teamed up with director Ryan Kugler, who took home best original screenplay last night for sinners. And ET was with another big winner. Jesse Butler. Jesse, how does it feel?

I would like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother's heart. As for best picture, one battle of their nada. Leo's thriller held off a center sweet and he was peak Gatsby holding the Oscar envelope and a drink in the same hand. The director Paul Thomas Anderson won three for the movie, giving a shout out to partner Maya Rudolph. To Maya. Yeah. Your special thanks is really to your family and the people that you share a roof with. Best acceptance speech for a no-show? Sean Penn. That goes to last year's best supporting actor winner, Kieran Culkin. Sean Penn couldn't be here this evening or didn't want to. So I'll be accepting the award in his behalf. Sean actually skipped out to travel to Ukraine, meeting today with President Vladimir Zelensky. I first met Rob Reiner in 1975. The most emotional moments of the night came from the unprecedented 15 minute in memoriam segment led by Billy Crystal's powerful Rob and

Michelle Reiner tribute. Buddy, what fun we had storming the castle. Have fun storming the castle. Why is he just capable of that? ET has spent decades behind the scenes with the 17 actors taking the stage starting with these co-stars from this is spinal tap. We stole all the takes from entertainment tonight. That we could do it again. That is Michael McKean and Christopher Guest next to stand by me, Jerry O'Connell and Will Wheaton. Friends are always there for you. Five Princess bride stars assembled. Fred Savage, Kerry Elvis, Mandy Patinkin, Carol Cain and Billy who also stood beside his win Harry men Sally co-star Meg Ryan. I want the truth. You can't handle the truth. Representing a few good men, Keith or Sutherland, Demi Moore and Kevin Pollock followed by Misery's Kathy Bates from the American president, Annette Benning and the sure thing co-stars John Cusek and Davini Zaniga. I've been lucky to get to work with some good people. I thought

what Billy did was absolutely incredible. He called me a while ago and said that he had this idea. Only Billy could pull something like that together. Rachel McAdams helped pay tribute to fellow Canadian Catherine O'Hara and her family stone co-star Diane Keaton. She wore so many hats bitterly and figuratively. That's you and me, Keaton. ET got to witness their playful dynamic behind the scenes in 2005. I blew my lines a lot because I was busy staring at a dream world. I was such a fan. I wish I knew that. I mean I wouldn't have had a much better talent in the movie like people were like such a sad little thing. 53 years after Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford brought audiences to tears in the way we were. The 83-year-old legend delivered a 48-second rendition of the film's classic title song marking her first time singing live in seven

years. Q. Jane Fonda who has gone viral after delivering some playful shade with ET. I don't want to know how come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford. She only made one movie with him. I made four. You made four. I had more to say. And some fans are accusing the Academy of Shade after excluding James Fanderbeek, Robert Karadine, Malcolm Jamal Warner, and Eric Dane from the on-air in memoriam, though they are included on the Oscar site. Eric was unique to television. He's not a movie star. You know, I feel like when Emmys come around, he will be immoralized the way he should be. Well, the night was packed with star reunions. Are these notes? You're all aging well. Kristen, how was it up there tonight? The Bridesmaid cast together 15 years later. Absent, Wendy McClendon Covey. I just heard that she was not available. Not available is apparently

code for getting plastic surgery. The actors posted, I had a neck lift last week because I'm tired of looking like a melting candle, so I had to skip. Can we get a sequel? What's happening? There's ideas out there, but it's really Kristen and Annie are the ones that first this movie. I would never dare get in their way. Robert Downey Jr. assembled with fellow Avenger Chris Evans. Five months after he and wife Alba welcomed a baby girl. I got you. The official tanning shade him, thong from Magic Mike and sequin. I'm gonna need that back though. What a hero, like you. ET's been with the MCU star since the beginning of their nearly eight billion dollar franchise. Lewis Pullman will join for Doomsday in December. He and dad Bill co-present in ahead of starring together in the space balls follow up out next year. 40 years after the OG. Don't want to rehearse. Let's just shoot. I hope that they like the sequel even more than the original, but a little more. We were like in Sydney, living five minutes

away from each other. It was really special to be able to be like just me and pops out there. All you need is love. Nicole Kidman and you and McGregor gave Mulan Rouge fans a little serenade. 25 years after ET was with them shooting the Oscar-winning musical. That's not a lot of what. But the night's best callback, Sigourney Weaver delivering some aliens smack. Get away from her you bitch. Wow, good character recall. That was a tease for Sigourney and Pedro Pascal's upcoming addition to the Star Wars universe, the Mandalorian, and Grogu out May 22nd. Another headline making presenter, Zendaya. Onstage with her, the drama co-star Robert Pattinson, but Tom Holland was on her mind. There's that gold band on that finger amid secret married rumors after her style is spilled. The wedding already happened, y'all missed it. How many calls did you get after that? A lot. A lot. A lot of calls. Were you joking or were you serious? You know what

happened is that the sun rose this morning and what will happen is that the sun will set. Just 24 hours earlier, this stunt, Z was in Vegas crashing a couple's wedding and signing their married certificate as a witness. Well, staying tight lit, blackish alum Marce Martin after this moment. I know you don't play about your personal business at all, so let me just give me a little nod and little signal to, you know, let me know. What do you think of her response with? Let me tell you something. Let that girl live her life. Should we send gifts? I think she needs all the gifts because she's about to have one hell of a 2026. And despite losing out Timothy Shalamet and girlfriend of about three years, Kylie Jenner was one of the couples having a blast laughing off this Conan crack. After Timothy's, no one cares about ballet and opera comments. I'm told there's concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities. They're just mad, you left out jazz. Leonardo DiCaprio brought a girlfriend, supermodel Vittoria Charedi,

instead of his mom. That hasn't happened since 2020 when he was with Camilla Marone and check out Hamnitz-Paul Meskall kissing girlfriend singer Gracie Abrams. I'm going to play golf. Priyanka Chopra Jonas snapped a selfie with hubby Nick while this fellow presenter was solo and hungry. You want some gummy bears? I mean a little bit. Last year you told us your wife said if you won, you're gonna get more babies. You got more baby. She said I will give you four when you win an Oscar. At the time I was on stage asking for a four, she was actually pregnant with a third. So number three, he's beautiful and he's perfect. So if that's the last one, we did great. Amy Madigan, my beloved Ed. None of this would mean anything if he wasn't by my side. It just happened. Yeah, just happened for her. It feels great. I'm very still shaky and surprised. Amy had her family on hand. So did Kate Hudson from Mom Goldie Hawn on the red carpet

to her fiance, Danny Poochakawa, inside snapping this epic selfie. More nominees bringing Mom, Jacob Allordie with Mama Melissa and these two center stars. You are seriously just gorgeous and I just needed to do it. I've got it from my mama. I'm very, very proud. Yeah. Bring your mama over here. You nervous at all to take that stage? No, come on. I have never seen you serve. No, no. It was the first time that he opened his mouth and you were like, hold on a second. He's saying a church. I mean, he was maybe like three. You were three? We've engraced and I'm grateful for it. I'll give all the glory to God. Still ahead, ET After Dark. I'm a said department. Where couples made their red carpet debut and Hollywood's next generation is stepping into the spotlight. We love what we do. It's a family better. Plus, Brooklyn Beckham's red carpet moment

after shading Mom Victoria again. Then the looks that steamed up the Oscars red carpet. It is wet. It is hot. And whose dress was made with human hair? All the wild, style, secret, straight from the stars. Wait, wait, wait. You want to see what's in my pockets? It's ET ET at the Golden Globe at the Academy Awards. At the Grammys, baby. I'm over the moon. Big dreams coming true. I like the sound of that. Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. The message for everyone paying big wireless way too much.

Speaking of the club, you, Billy Crystal and Halfway all presenting at the ceremony tonight. And Halfway, she may have been the best one of all. We've decided to make you

I'm comfortable for a change. Usually we're freezing. And then get supper. That's amazing. Wait, how do you guys have a fan over here? That's amazing. While Chase Infinity rocked Ruffles, her one battle co-star, Tiana Taylor, was on trend. With feathers, same with Dewey Moore and Nicole Kidman before swapping looks for vanity fairs after party. Should I just wear the keyhole dress again? Or maybe another color. Yeah, nearly five months after considering it, Kylie Jenner paired her red Jessica Rabbit inspired custom scaparelli with 200 carrots of diamonds. Her after party look, Black McQueen. Sis Kim accessorized her golden Gucci with blue contacts, while Mom Chris donned a famous ball gown. It's 1995 Valentino Couture that was actually
