The 96th Academy Awards ceremony took place on March 11th at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. John Cena, a former professional wrestler and actor who had a cameo in the film "Barbie," created a sensation when he presented the award for "Best Costume Design" while completely naked, using only the award envelope to cover his "private parts".

John Cena, known for his wrestling background, initially hesitated to come out from behind the curtain. Host Jimmy Kimmel "forces" him to step forward, and Cena, feigning annoyance, stated, "The male body is not a joke!" Kimmel retorted, "Aren't you usually naked when you wrestle?" Cena corrected him, saying, "Dude, I don't wrestle naked; I wrestle in jorts!." Kimmel joked, "Jorts are worse than naked!"

Originally planning to recreate a classic moment with the host, Cena discreetly told Kimmel backstage, "Its an elegant event. Honestly, you should feel ashamed right now for suggesting such a tasteless idea." Kimmel responded, "It's supposed to be funny" but Cena insisted, "The male body is not a joke!" Their banter kept the audience laughing throughout.

Under the "encouragement" of the host, Cena used only the award envelope to cover his vital areas as he slowly stepped onto the stage, creating a frenzy among the live audience. He opened with a humorous remark, saying, "Costumes, they are so important. Maybe the most important thing there is."

Using the winner's envelope to shield his "essential parts," Cena awkwardly stated, "Clothes are probably the most important thing in the world. Now, how do I open this envelope?" In the end, Jimmy Kimmel handed him a piece of fabric to cover himself, allowing Cena to present the award with dignity.

This Cena's performance was indeed a staged stunt with the idea to pay tribute to the streaker at the 1974 Oscars ceremony. According to a source, he "was covered in the groin and butt crack area, and the envelope was Velcroed to him."

Finally, Jimmy Kimmel threw a champagne-colored curtain on him and tied it down at his waist to make it look like an ancient Greek-style gown. While Cena continued to present the award for Best Costume Design to the ultimate winner, the film "Poor Things," which also won Best Makeup, Best Costume Design, and Best Art Direction.
