Although 'Field of Dreams' was not a nominee, Mulaney, known for his movie-related comedy, jokingly suggested it should have won Best Picture.
Kevin Costner, the star of 'Field of Dreams,' responded positively to Mulaney's bit by sharing a video of the comedian's appearance on his Instagram Story, acknowledging Mulaney's summary of the film. Costner, a two-time Oscar winner for 'Dances with Wolves,' also expressed congratulations to all the nominees and winners at the Oscars.
In 'Field of Dreams,' Costner portrays a corn farmer named Ray who builds a baseball field following a vision from 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson. The film explores themes of family relationships and features interactions with ghostly baseball legends.
Mulaney's comedic take on 'Field of Dreams' at the Oscars highlighted the importance of sound in film history, referencing iconic movie lines and playfully recounting the movie's plot. Despite his praise for 'Field of Dreams,' Mulaney presented the Best Sound award to 'The Zone of Interest,' which also won Best International Feature at the ceremony.
