Last year, John Travolta, even though he wasn’t nominated for anything and hasn’t starred in a decent film in YEARS, stole the show at the Oscars by incorrectly?introducing Idina Menzel as Adele Dazeem. It was everything. This year he decided to pull a round two of being the most awkward person at the Oscars and he once again NAILED?it.?
John Travolta has officially turned into that weird older man at the bar who you met a few years ago and he was ok, but now he drinks way too much and maybe takes some sedatives and when you see him you really hope he doesn’t see you too, but he does, and he comes over and talks way too close and says your name wrong and touches you weird and you just feel sooooo uncomfortable. You know the type.
First there was the whole awkward situation with Scarlett Johansson which is pictured above. Scarlett was posing on the red carpet, looking like a total fox and pulling?off that short hair like it was nobody’s business, when suddenly,?creepy uncle John crept up behind her for the most awkward smooch in red carpet history (counting all of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s red carpet kisses).
Luckily, Scarlett was a total pro and basically just stood there, getting her pose on, acting like the whole thing wasn’t even happening. Scarlett is way more chill and professional than I am because if John Travolta had snuck up behind me, stinking of cheap wine and lubed asshole, and started kissin’ and touchin’ on me I’d be all like:
However, it wasn’t just Scarlett who had to feel the wrath of creepy uncle John.
As a bit of fun, The Oscar co-ordinators decided to have John Travolta and Adele Dazeem (Idina Menzel, or whatever) present an award together. Seems like it could be a bit of fun, but it was not. Instead, poor Idina was put through a whole lot of weird facial touching.
It was basically the definition of creepy and the entire internet agreed.
So congratulations, John Travolta, you might not ever win an Oscar, but I’ll be damned if you don’t steal the show with your bizarre antics every year!

He looks like he’s wearing one of the president masks from Point Break. Just me?
