During the 2025 Oscars Sunday, nominee Colman Domingo jumped on stage during one of the commercial breaks, tequila in hand, offered a toast and engaged the audience to stand up and dance.
He came into possession of tequila after small Don Julio bottles were passed out to every member of the audience — even those who don’t drink.
Domingo was at the center of several behind-the-scenes happenings at the Oscars.
The five Best Actor nominees, Domingo, Timothée Chalamet, Sebastian Stan, Ralph Fiennes and Adrien Brody, had become friendly during awards season and commemorated its end by gathering together to take a photo during an Oscar break.
Big Night for Dogs
It was a big night for dogs — and that’s not only because Flow won in the Best Animated Feature category. Porcelain War co-director Slava Leontyev arrived with his little dog, a Yorkie named Frodo, who had accompanied him at other award shows. Best Actress nominee Demi Moore also had her award season staple dog, micro Chihuahua Pilaf, with her in the audience.
Minutes before he took his place behind the microphone as the voice of the Oscars, Nick Offerman went on stage to greet the audience, giving them “a brief and wondrous opportunity to feast your glamorous eyes upon my sturdy form.”
