Juno's cast reminisces over its win back in 2007

About 15 years ago, Juno won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2007. The movie, which remains a classic till today, also won many other accolades including the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay, the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay, and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay.

The movie was the debut screenwriting film of writer and producer Brook Maurio, professionally known by pen name Diablo Cody.

Directed by Jason Reitman, the movie starred Elliot Page as an independent-minded teenager, Juno MacGuff, who dealt with an unexpected pregnancy and subsequent events that put pressure of adult life on her. Jennifer Garner played the role of prospective adoptive mother of the protagonist's child, Vanessa Loring, while J.K. Simmons played the role of Juno’s dad, Mac MacGuff.

The cast reunited again at the 2022 Oscars ceremony on Sunday night to present the award for Best Original Screenplay to Kenneth Branagh for Belfast.

While on stage to present the award, Graner said:

“15 years ago, we all experienced the exhilarating feeling of reading a wholly original screenplay that felt new and exciting.”

Fans take to Twitter and talk about Juno's cast reuniting at the Oscars more than a decade later

After seeing a brief reunion of the Juno cast a decade and a half later, fans could not keep calm and took the internet by storm. While some were left teary-eyed, some tweeted that this was the best Oscars so far since they called Page to present the Oscars after he announced that he was transgender in 2020.

Elliot went by Ellen Page during the movie. In an interview with Time in December 2020, Page revealed that he had surgery to remove unwanted breast tissue, saying, "I’m really excited to act, now that I’m fully who I am, in this body.”

Hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes, the Oscars were presented at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 27, 2022.
