Ben Stiller Makes Unexpected Tweet Mid-Oscars & Fans Can’t Stop Laughing

Ben Stiller is one of those actors who can land a joke seemingly effortlessly. He appeared on the 97th Academy Awards broadcast on March 2, presenting the award for Best Production Design. As part of a bit, Ben acted like the stage malfunctioned and missed his arrival cue. Of course, fans loved the irony and chuckled as Ben read from the script as the platform moved him up and down. He ultimately presented the award to Nathan Crowley and Lee Sandales for Wicked. It was a fun sketch but not nearly as memorable as Ben Stiller’s X Post during the Oscars.

At 8:24 p.m., Ben Still posted “KNICKS WIN” on X. Of course, fans thought this was hilarious, given that he was clearly at the Oscars. But it was also very relatable, as we all know how important the art of multitasking is.

Rolling Stone commented from their official X account, “innie at the Oscars. Outtie at the game.”

Plenty of people loved Ben Stiller’s post during the Oscars.

Another shred, “lol guys at the Oscars presenting awards and tweeting about NBA. What a legend. Also, thank you for being hilarious for two decades and giving us Severance.”
