Billy Crystal slayed the moment he presented the Best Picture Oscar with “When Harry Met Sally” costar Meg Ryan on Sunday.

He said he first hosted the Academy Awards “nine tuxedoes ago” for the number of times he presided over the show in the 1990s and 2000s. But Ryan soon called on them to “cut to the chase” of revealing the winner (which would be “Anora”).

“You’re right,” Crystal said, “because when you have a chance to be an Oscar winner for the rest of your life, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

The comment elicited groans and laughter because it borrowed from a famous line uttered by Crystal’s Harry to Ryan’s Sally in their 1989 rom-com classic.

“I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible,” Crystal’s Harry originally confessed.
