Although the Academy Awards opted not to have a host this year following a ton of deeply disappointing drama with original pick Kevin Hart, the show still had a fantastic opening performance from Queen, followed by presenters and BFFs Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Maya Rudolph. The trio presented the Oscar for best supporting actress to If Beale Street Could Talk's Regina King, but before they handed over the trophy, they squeezed in plenty of zingers. Everything they said was perfect (because of course), but we've gone ahead and highlighted the best lines for you:
Tina Fey: "Good evening and welcome to the one millionth Academy Awards! We're not your hosts, but we're gonna stand here a little too long so that the people who get USA Today tomorrow think we hosted it."
Maya Rudolph: "There is no host tonight, there's no popular movie category, and Mexico won't be paying for the wall."
Amy Poehler: "These Spanx are so tight, they've entered MY Spider-Verse."
Watch them present the award ahead!
