Bardem knows how to enjoy the Oscars_  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Feb 25, 2019 3:38 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Feb 25, 2019 3:38 PM UTC Spanish actor [Javier Bardem](http://time.com/5271028/penelope-cruz-javier-bardem-equal-pay/) may not have been up for any awards at [Sunday night’s Oscars](http://time.com/5533521/2019-oscars-best-worst-moments/), but he definitely enjoyed being in the audience for [Hollywood’s big night](http://time.com/5536768/2019-oscars-review/). In fact, as Twitter has noted, he may have been the most amped guy in the room during the opening number — a Queen rock medley led by singer Adam Lambert, performing songs including “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.” Bardem was spotted in the crowd alongside Queen Latifah, positively rocking out to the crowd-favorite jams. His unbridled happiness and celebratory nature is a joy to behold. A bit later in the evening, Bardem went onstage to present the Best Foreign Language Film award alongside Angela Bassett, speaking part of his lines in Spanish (and ultimately bestowing the honor on [_Roma_](http://time.com/5478382/roma-movie-mexican-history/)). There, too, he seemed to be fully loving his time at the Oscars. Not that he’s a newbie at this event: he won the Best Supporting Actor trophy himself back in 2007 for his role in _No Country for Old Men_. (And as some online commenters noticed, this is also not the first time he’s been a fan of the show’s opening numbers.) Bardem’s next anticipated Hollywood role is in the [upcoming adaptation](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F3) of sci-fi classic _Dune_, directed by Denis Villeneuve with a murderer’s row of A-listers in the cast, including Timothée Chalamet, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin and Oscar Isaac. > [](https://twitter.com/CherithFuller/status/1100022773823479814) > [](https://twitter.com/misslaneym/status/1099837059257323520) > [](https://twitter.com/karenyhan/status/1099837413910822912) > [](https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1099855268614004736) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5537013/javier-bardem-oscars/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5537013/javier-bardem-oscars/"},"headline":"No One on Earth Was Having More Fun Than Javier Bardem at the Oscars in This Moment","datePublished":"2019-02-25T15:38:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:35.796Z","description":"Bardem knows how to enjoy the Oscars","url":"https://time.com/5537013/javier-bardem-oscars/","keywords":["Newsfeed","awards","oscars 2019"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt073573ace13554e6/698945d3929fad4f09bf2c5d/javier-bardem-oscars.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt073573ace13554e6/698945d3929fad4f09bf2c5d/javier-bardem-oscars.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"91st Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals","caption":"Javier Bardem attends the 91st Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood and Highland","creditText":"Jeff Kravitz—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5537013/javier-bardem-oscars/","name":"No One on Earth Was Having More Fun Than Javier Bardem at the Oscars in This Moment"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Bardem knows how to enjoy the Oscars","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5537013/javier-bardem-oscars/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5537013/javier-bardem-oscars/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
