“I’m so excited by this and very honored by the Academy to do this presentation of our movie, which has dragged on for 50 years," he joked in front of the costumed crowd, who gave him a standing ovation, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Besides his introduction, the event also included a special viewing of the film, with goodie bags for purchase that allow fans to interact with the movie, as has become tradition all around the country.
Curry reflected on everything from his larger-than-life character, Dr. Frank-N-Furter's origins to his health. Here's what he had to say:

“I was horrified, actually, by his first attempt because I thought I was ready for the runway... I wanted to just kind of smudge it all," he admitted. "But I didn’t dare, because he was a very formidable character.”
He also revealed he toyed with using a German accent for Dr. Frank-N-Furter, but that "evidently bored" director Jim Sharman. "You weren’t allowed to bore him, and if he wasn’t bored, it stayed in," he explained. He found inspiration for the accent fans know and love while eavesdropping on two women on a London bus. “They wanted to sound like the queen," he recalled. "And that seemed appropriate for Frank, really, who clearly thought he was the queen."

"One of the things that the movie does, I think, is give anyone permission to behave as badly as they really want, in whatever way and with whom," he added. "And I’m proud of that.”

Curry thought it was "so silly" to call for paramedics, but it turned out to be quite serious. “I still can’t walk, which is why I’m in this silly chair, and that’s very limiting," he said. "So I won’t be singing and I won’t be dancing very soon. I still have real problems with my left leg.”
