The big winner at the Oscars was “Anora,” but Ben Stiller was more focused on something happening thousands of miles away on Sunday … the New York Knicks’ matchup against the Miami Heat.
Stiller was a presenter at the biggest night in Hollywood … experiencing a stage “malfunction” while announcing the Best Set Design category — an obvious ploy to get some laughs.

Despite having a big job in the festivities, it’s clear the “Severance” director wasn’t gonna let it get in the way of his diehard Knickerbockers fandom … as he sent out a celebratory social media post after New York narrowly beat Miami in overtime, 116-112.
“KNICKS WIN,” Stiller posted on X.
It drew plenty of responses from users … who laughed at the thought of the actor decked out in a tux and rubbing elbows with the biggest names in film — but still keeping an eye on Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby.
Stiller’s passion for the Knicks is no secret — he loves to hit up Madison Square Garden whenever he can … getting a spot right on Celebrity Row countless times.
Oh, for what it’s worth — “Wicked” ended up winning the set design category.
Safe to say nothing will get between him and his Knicks … not even the Oscars.
