Jimmy Kimmel comes out swinging in monologue that tackles Will Smith’s Oscars slap

LA Times  

Well, Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel came out swinging when he opened the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday. The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host pulled no punches — er, slaps — when he addressed the giant elephant in the room at this year’s Oscars. Awards Here’s the list of 2023 Oscar winners The 2023 Oscar winners include “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Brendan Fraser, Michelle Yeoh and “All Quiet on the Western Front.” “And if any of you get mad at a joke and decide you want to come up here and ‘get jiggy with it,’ it’s not gonna be easy,” Kimmel said, referring to Smith’s 1997 hit “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” and name-checking the formidable attendees a strike-seeking person would “have to get through first.” The defensive host pointed to members of the audience and referenced their famed characters, including Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Creed, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” star Michelle Yeoh, Pedro Pascal’s “The Mandalorian,” Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man and Steven Spielberg’s “Fabelman,” as well as Kimmel’s “right-hand man,” Guillermo Rodriguez. But he made his most public remarks last weekend onstage at the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore — Pinkett Smith’s hometown — during his comedy special for Netflix, “Selective Outrage.” Elsewhere in the monologue, Kimmel plugged “Till” and “The Woman King,” Rihanna‘s son and made references to the Oscars envelope gaffe. This time, it was the actor’s beloved 2005 rom-com “Hitch.” “Our next category is documentary feature, which as you may recall is where we had that little skirmish last year,” he said.
