Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, who portrayed twins in the 1988 film “Twins” and also co-starred in the movie “Junior” (1994), reunited on this year’s Oscars stage. They were presenting awards for Best Visual Effects to the creators of “Godzilla Minus One” (2023) and Best Film Editing to the editor of “Oppenheimer” (2023), Jennifer Lame. Their jokes had the entire audience laughing.
“Arnold and I are presenting tonight together for a very obvious reason,” DeVito said at the beginning. “We’ve both tried to kill Batman!” added Schwarzenegger, referring to both of them playing villains, the Penguin and Mr. Freeze, in the films “Batman Returns” (1992) and “Batman and Robin” (1997).
“Oh. He threw me out a window!” said Danny DeVito, alluding to what Batman did to his character. “There he is. He’s right here. He’s right there. Look!” The camera then focused on Michael Keaton, against whom he faced off as the Penguin in the film. “You have a lot of nerve to show your face around here,” Schwarzenegger added.
