A social media influencer named Nicholas Kusnir has generated some buzz because of a viral TikTok video in which he pretended that something embarrassing happened to him at the 2024 Oscars.

The night was filled with shenanigans, like John Cena's naked stunt. In turn, Kusnir's video was believable and it tricked many people into thinking that he was actually in attendance with the rest of Hollywood. For clarity, Kusnir was not at the award ceremony. His viral video was just a publicity stunt.

However, how did Nicholas Kusnir trick the internet? Who is he and what's his original video? Let's explain.

What's The 'Nicholas Kusnir Oscars Video?'

Kusnir posted a video to his TikTok account @nicholaskthinks yesterday that had text reading, "Addressing the rumors about the 2024 Oscars." Seen in his bathroom mirror, Kusnir apologized to his viewers about the mishap that purportedly happened.

Throughout the video, Kusnir didn't relay specific details and remained vague about what his embarrassing Oscars moment was.

Following this, nothing actually happened to Kusnir at the Oscars. He wasn't even invited to the event. His video was just an elaborate ruse that fooled many people.

Who Is Nicholas Kusnir?

Nicholas Kusnir is a social media influencer and content creator who's been posting videos to TikTok since 2021. He's an aspiring comedian, evident in the multiple skits on his channel which predominantly center on the trials and tribulations of being a young gay man.

Kusnir's latest Oscars hoax isn't his first viral stunt. For instance, one of his most viral videos was posted last month in which he and his female friend pretended to be cousins who were dating, answering questions in a Q&A. Of course, Kusnir was just trolling his viewers, making them lean into the hilarious false reality.

What Actually Happened At The Oscars 2024?

There were a few viral moments from the 2024 Academy Awards. John Cena's naked presentation was by far the most popular. However, smaller moments like Messi the dog clapping also took centerstage in memes.

The Oscars are annually viral. Every year, at least one memeworthy thing seems to happen, like Will Smith's slap and Ellen's selfie from years past. Although this Oscars wasn't as jam-packed, maybe next year's will be. Plus, maybe Kusnir will be invited next time. Who knows?
