Brunson tried to move the talk show host, shaking him and saying, “Jimmy, wake up, I won,” but he remained where he was, leading many to accuse him of stealing the winner’s spotlight. Similarly, social media editor Connor Perrett tweeted: “Jimmy Kimmel laying on the floor while Quinta has her moment is extremely irritating.” Another viewer added: “Quinta Brunson deserved better than giving her acceptance over Jimmy Kimmel’s ‘dead’ body.” The ceremony already drew strong reactions from fans, with some mocking its “atrocious” opening dance sequence to Friends and Law and Order: SVU theme songs.
