After reading the title, he paused briefly as the audience in attendance erupted in laughter. When the chuckles died down, he read the final entry, “An Ostrich Told Me the World is Fake And I Think I Believe It”.
“No comment,” quipped Williams as she laughed.

The moment proved to be a favourite with viewers, who responded enthusiastically via Twitter.
Thank you to fate for the weird and wonderful moment where Riz Ahmed had to say “My year of dicks” and then “An Ostrich told me the world is fake and I think I believe it.”
Happy #Oscars2023 to us all.
