Melissa McCarthy and Bryan Tyree Henry came to the stage to present the Best Costume Design Oscar, and as if their pairing wasn't odd enough, they were kitted out in overblown attire combining all five nominated films - Black Panther, The Favourite, Mary Queen of Scots, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Mary Poppins Returns - because why the hell not?

As the pair introduced the category and talked about the subtle art of making costumes which don't distract from the actors and their performances, McCarthy started playing with a rabbit puppet sewn into her costume, getting a grand laugh from the audience.

At least it was a short "bit" and didn't drag itself on excruciatingly long, right?
