#Oscars: Kate McKinnon Has (Jokingly) Been Sending “Tasteful” Nudes to Steven Spielberg

Kate McKinnon was jokingly shocked to learn that her “tasteful” nudes have actually not been going to Jeff Goldblum, but rather to Steven Spielberg.

The Saturday Night Live alum and her Barbie co-star America Ferrera initially took to the 2024 Oscars stage Sunday night to present the awards for best documentary short and best documentary feature.

“These awards honor the best in documentary filmmaking. Films that give us real stories about real life with past winners like Woodstock, Free Solo and Inconvenient Truth,” Ferrera said before McKinnon continued, “Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, Jurassic World Dominion.”

However, Ferrera had to quickly inform McKinnon that the Jurassic Park movies aren’t documentaries: “Kate, the dinosaurs weren’t real. … I know the dinosaurs were real but in the movie, they were CGI. There was a documentary about it.”

McKinnon couldn’t believe what she was hearing and turned to Spielberg, who directed 1993’s Jurassic Park, to ask, “Is this true?” The Oscar-winning director confirmed, shaking his head yes.

“Wow,” McKinnon said in surprise. “But Jeff Goldblum is real, right?” Ferrera proceeded to quip, “No.”

“Then to whom have I been sending for my tasteful nudes?” the comedian asked as the camera pans to a deadpan Spielberg, jokingly pointing to himself. The crowd erupted in laughter.

McKinnon and Ferrera finally announced the nominees for best documentary short, with the Oscar ultimately going to The Last Repair Shop (Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers).

The 96th Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, were held on March 10 at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. Find the full winners list here, and check out the Oscars red carpet arrivals.
