So, is there a reason we should celebrate achievements based on name recognition alone? Let’s dive into this unexpected blend of glitz, glamour, and the fight for fairness at the Oscars, because every story deserves its moment in the spotlight. LEARN MORE.
While Oscar presenters are expected to smile and remain neutral, one of them broke protocol last night over a situation they found unfair.
Miley Cyrus showed her solidarity with Gareth John, a sound engineer who was not even allowed to give a short speech after receiving his statuette for Dune: Part Two.
Though his Dune colleagues were given the opportunity to speak, Gareth’s microphone was cut off by the time it was his turn to thank his loved ones, and orchestra music signaled that the group’s time was up.

One lip reader on X (formerly Twitter) claimed the singer told Gareth, “F**k that!” as she escorted the winners offstage.
Gareth won the award for his work with Richard King, Ron Bartlett, and Doug Hemphill. The other films nominated for Best Sound were A Complete Unknown, Emilia Pérez, Wicked, and The Wild Robot.
Viewers discussing the award show on social media did not miss the sequence, expressing their indignation and comparing the moment to how the event organizers treated other, more famous winners.

“Y’all let Zoe Saldaña sob into the mic for 10 min but my man for Dune‘s sound can’t say thanks to his loved ones?” one user wrote, while another responded, “They were mean to that guy. He literally just started talking and they muted him.”
“And Adrian Brody annoyed the hell out of me talking for half an hour,” a separate user fumed.
“And they let that lady from Emilia Pérez make everyone cringe with her singing for three hours,” added another viewer.
The user was referring to Camille Dalmais, who accepted the award for Best Music (Original Song) alongside co-writer Clément Ducol, for El Mal, one of the songs from Emilia Pérez. The duo closed their speech by performing an impromptu song, which resulted in them getting played off the stage some time into the performance.

“Absolute cinema,” somebody else wrote, praising Miley for supporting the winning editor.
“My reaction was the same as Miley’s,” another outraged viewer said. Another viewer wrote: “She’s so real fr.”
Miley was just 15 years old when she presented at the Oscars for the first time in 2008 while starring as Hannah Montana on the hit Disney Channel show.
Now 32, the Flowers singer attended the ceremony with her boyfriend, drummer Maxx Morando, marking their first time posing together on an awards show red carpet.

The superstar wore a custom black Alexander McQueen gown featuring a beaded bodice that extended into a turtleneck.
She completed the elegant look with diamond drop earrings and short lace gloves, keeping her eye makeup simple with a soft smoky brown liner. Her bleached eyebrows added an edgier touch.
For the Vanity Fair after-party, Miley changed into a black strapless Maison Margiela gown and even debuted a new hairstyle.

She surprised her fans by rocking micro bangs cut one inch above her brows—a look that she reportedly got while en route from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood to the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.
The bold new hairstyle sparked mixed reactions, with some fans saying Miley pulled it off effortlessly, while others felt it didn’t suit her.
