Kick off your Oscars party with these classic sketches from Saturday Night Live.

Tonight marks the 91st Academy Awards to celebrate the best in movies from 2018. The award show is a big moment not only for the motion picture industry but it also has a huge cultural impact. And that means it has provided plenty of material for Saturday Night Live.

Saturday Night Live has it’s own cultural impact but instead of once a year, it has come weekly for the past 44 years. All you have to do is consider how dedicated SNL’s fans are to understand the importance and relevance of the show.

Those fans always turn to SNL to see how the show will find the humor in the biggest events of the year. We’ve seen sketches that parody presidential debates, Super Bowls, and holidays just to name a few.

So of course the Academy Awards are no different. It’s a giant production, even if there isn’t a host. The biggest celebrities come together, the media coverage is insane, and social media has only added to the circus that is the Oscars.

If you’re one of the millions of people who will be watching tonight or maybe even hosting  party with friends, then these sketches should help get your night started. You’ll see some classic Saturday Night Live clips that will bring back memories of past Academy Award moments, highlights, and scandals. All done in the signature SNL style that has made the show part of pop culture for the past 44 years.
