Ben Stiller poked fun at
Joaquin Phoenix at Sunday's Academy Awards.
Presenting Best Cinematography alongside
Natalie Portman , Stiller walked on stage with a bushy beard and sunglasses and chomped on gum.
See what all the stars wore to the 2009 Oscars!Playing along with his joke, Portman then said, "This is ridiculous," and chastised Stiller for chewing gum at the Oscars.
See the worst dressed Oscar stars of all time"OK, I'll take it out," Phoenix said and stuck the gum on the podium (Phoenix made a similar move recently on the
Late Show With David Letterman ).
As Portman announced the nominees, a confused-looking Stiller looked around the stage. He then joked that he heard
Slumdog Millionaire was filmed on his cell phone.
Can you guess this Oscar nominee?"I want to retire from being the funny guy," Stiller said.
Portman shot back, "You look like you work at a Hasidic meth lab!"
The audience cracked up.
