LOS ANGELES — Tom Cruise and Jimmy Kimmel opened the 95th Oscars with a nod to Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” which is nominated for best picture.
In the opening, Kimmel appeared to eject from a fighter jet before parachuting on stage, as a historic flyover took place in Los Angeles.
The flyover featured United States Navy pilots in F/A – 18 Super Hornets to honor “Top Gun.”
The planes flew down Hollywood Boulevard at 1,000 feet after coming from Naval Air Station Lemoore near Fresno, California.
