The 36-year-old Brittany Runs a Marathon star hit the stage to do a freestyle recap of the ceremony at the 2020 Academy Awards on Sunday (February 9) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
The rap also touched on representation and diversity: “Been a long time trying to be colorblind, what you see right in front of you is a sign of the times….keep an open mind, I’m sure we’ll find there’s plenty of light for us all to shine,” he said.
For the second year in a row, the Oscars will be presented without a host. Joker leads the pack with 11 nominations and Grammy winner Billie Eilish is set to give a special performance. Tune in for the show at 8pm ET/5pm PT on ABC.

Ryan Reynolds stars in the upcoming adventure-comedy Free Guy and the first official trailer was just released!
The trailer had its global debut at Brazil’s CCXP event on Saturday (December 7) and now it’s online for fans around the world to watch.
In Free Guy, a bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, decides to become the hero of his own story…one he rewrites himself. Now in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way…before it is too late.
Ryan Reynolds steps out on stage for the Free Guy panel during New York Comic Con on Thursday afternoon (October 3) at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.
The lucky crowd at the event got to see the first footage from the film, but we won’t get to watch it at home yet.
“On a very literal level, Free Guy is about Guy, who’s a bank teller. He works in a bank, and his bank gets robbed 17 times in a day, and eventually he realizes that’s weird and not normal,” Shawn said (via THR). “Ryan and I have talked about Free Guy as a superhero origin story without the cape and tights and the IP. If you were living in a video game and could master the system, your powers would be limitless.”
“I haven’t been this fully immersed, engaged and pumped [about] something since Deadpool,” Ryan said. “It spoke to the moment in some way.”
The Hamilton creator and his wife were in attendance for opening night of Freestyle Love Supreme at the Booth Theatre on Wednesday (October 2) in New York City.
Fifteen years the creation of the original improv troupe, Freestyle Love Supreme is a hip-hop musical from Lin-Manuel, Thomas Kail and Anthony Veneziale.
Here’s a description: “Every performance, the crew takes the crowd on a freestyle, hip-hop, improvisational, never-before-seen comedy ride. See it for the first time every time as the performers take suggestions from the audience and spin them into instantaneous riffs and full-length musical numbers. With special — and spontaneous — guest appearances from Lin-Manuel Miranda, Christopher Jackson, Daveed Diggs, James Monroe Iglehart, and more, every night brings the unexpected.”
Jillian Bell happily strikes a pose with Tobey Maguire while attending premiere of her Amazon Studios’ film Brittany Runs A Marathon held at Regal LA Liveon on Thursday (August 15) in Los Angeles.
The 35-year-old actress and Tobey, 44, who is an executive producer of the film, were joined at the event by co-stars Lil Rel Howery, Michaela Watkins, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Alice Lee, Micah Stock and Nadia Quinn, as well as Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke, writer-director Paul Downs Colaizzo and real-life inspiration of the film, Brittany O’Neill.
Synopsis: Hilarious, outgoing and always up for a good time, New Yorker Brittany Forgler (Jillian) is everybody’s best friend ― except maybe her own. At 27, her hard-partying ways, chronic underemployment and toxic relationships are catching up with her, but when she stops by a new doctor’s office to try to score some Adderall, she gets slapped with a prescription she never wanted: Get healthy. Too broke for a gym and too proud to ask for help, Brit is at a loss, until her seemingly together neighbor Catherine pushes her to lace up her Converse sneakers and run one sweaty block. The next day, she runs two. And soon, after finishing her first mile, she sets an almost unthinkable goal: running in the New York City Marathon.
Amazon Studios is set to release Brittany Runs a Marathon in theaters on August 23 – Watch the trailer here!
