Can you run around in your undies without a watch during the Oscar?
Although the 96th Academy Awards have concluded, the event continues to be a hot topic on social media. Some argue that even the Oscars, as prestigious as they are, must compete with the attention-grabbing power of #TalkingTown.
Whether it's Messi, the dog from 'Falling Judgement,' who celebrated Robert John Downey Jr.'s win or John Cena, who made a nude appearance, the Oscars have the potential to make headlines once again.
The presentation of the Oscars mimicked the 1974 ceremony, during which a man named David Niemen interrupted the proceedings by appearing on stage naked. This moment was one of the most memorable of the Oscars and is likely to be discussed for some time.
Similarly, John Cena's appearance in Birkenstock flip-flops and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II was noteworthy.
This is a great way to demonstrate the significance of watches in ceremonial occasions.
John Cena was also in attendance, wearing a Rolex. Tennis superstar Roger Federer was also present, sporting the Rolex Daytona 24 Hours of Le Mans 100th Anniversary Special Edition, released in 2023.
Cillian Murphy, who was a bright presence throughout the awards season with Oppenheimer, made history as the first Irish actor to win Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Oscars. He wore his Omega De Ville Prestige Small Seconds watch to the ceremony, and the pine green colour of the watch seemed to be his lucky charm. Oppenheimer was the biggest winner of the night, taking home seven awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
Omega made a big impact at this year's Oscars with the support of the best actor. Alongside Murphy, other award-winning stars, including Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Cord Jefferson, Colman Domingo, and Enzo Vogrincic, also chose to wear various styles of OMEGA, adding a pop of colour to their looks.
In addition to John Cena's impressive performance, another Oscar favourite was Ryan Gosling, who played Ken in this year's hit movie Barbie. He wore a customised pink rhinestone suit by Gucci and performed Ken's solo theme song, 'I'm Just Ken'. This was a tribute to Monroe's classic 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend' from the 1953 musical film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
The Commander wore the PLASMA Pioneer Diamond Crafted watch from the Carrera collection, launched by TAG Heuer in January.
Glen Powell, the star of 'All I Want Is You', wore a TAG Heuer Monaco.
Robert John Downey Jr, who won the Best Supporting Actor award for his performance in Oppenheimer, also wore a square watch. He wore a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph in a rose gold case, an iconic timepiece inspired by the Art Deco era.
It should be noted that the Oscars are not only a highly competitive event for acting, but also a fashion event where men and women strive to express themselves. On the red carpet, celebrities must not only dress to impress, but also pay extra attention to their wrists and show off their favourite watches.
