Roberts shared smiles with NBCU studio chair and chief content officer Donna Langley, who bet big on
Oppenheimer. Langley shared party pics post-Oscars, captioning her Instagram post “Oppenhomies out.”
3 Disney CEO Bob Iger and wife Willow Bay were among those who almost missed the start of the show because of anti-Gaza war protestors who blocked traffic. Yet the ever-composed executive lived up to his reputation as he rushed relatively unruffled into the Dolby several minutes before 4 p.m.
