Interestingly, John Cena came out naked to announce the Best Costume Design award. Jimmy Kimmel introduced John Cena as the category's presenter when the wrestler walked bare on stage. The 15-time WWE champion was apprehensive to appear, but Kimmel convinced him to do so. Cena partially covered himself with an envelope containing the name of the award recipient. He eventually got draped with a curtain-like apparel. The incident is said to be a reference to a 50-year-old occurrence in which an actual streaker disrupted the 1974 Oscars telecast.
