When Harry Met Sally stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan reunited recently at the 97th Oscars ceremony to present the Best Picture award.
It's been 36 years since the iconic romantic-comedy film was released, and yet it still endures among today's audiences. It is still considered one of the all-time bests in the genre.
Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan Reunite at the Oscars
Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan made a surprise appearance at last night's 97th Oscars ceremony as the presenters for Best Picture. They were met with a standing ovation when they showed up on stage.
The When Harry Met Sally stars' participation was not announced in the days leading up to the ceremony so naturally, their appearance came as a surprise to both the Dolby Theater audiences and the viewers at home.
Crystal and Ryan's brief reunion was one of the highlights of the ceremony as they were happy to see the When Harry Met Sally stars reunited again after all these years.
The two stars bantered as they presented the Best Picture award, which went to Anora, completing its five-win sweep.
Crystal also made a reference to his iconic line in the film while presenting as he 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."
What also made their appearance special is Crystal's history with the Oscars. As long-time fans know, he has hosted the Oscars ceremonies nine times and he finally got the opportunity to present the Best Picture award.
Second When Harry Met Sally Reunion This Year
This is not the first time that Crystal and Ryan reunited on screen this year.
They also appeared together to reprise their iconic roles in When Harry Met Sally in a new Hellmann's commercial that broadcast during the Super Bowl last month.
The pair recreated the iconic deli scene in the 1989 classic. They filmed the commercial in Katz’s Delicatessen, the exact same diner where they shot the scene 35+ years ago and the same table where their characters also originally sat.
Sydney Sweeney also made a cameo appearance in the commercial where she delivered the iconic line, "I'll have what she's having."
It is unknown yet whether Crystal and Ryan will do more reunions in the future, but it is a delightful treat for fans of the rom-com.
