Oscars monologue takes jab at those in attendance!
Jimmy Kimmel, the fearless Oscars host, threw explosive punches at Hollywood’s elite.
During the ceremony, he took digs at Robert Downey Jr.’s past struggles and Emma Stone’s explicit scenes in Poor Things.
Kimmel’s witty banter hit a nerve with Downey Jr.
He remained stone-faced after a crass joke about his former addiction struggles and the shape of his “acceptance speech.”
The legendary actor’s tumultuous past is marred by substance abuse, included arrests, jail time, and struggles with addiction.
However, this has transformed into a captivating story of redemption.
After years of rehab, legal troubles, and relapses, Downey Jr. made a triumphant comeback.
He even secured Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars for his role in Oppenheimer.
John Cena’s surprise appearance!
The cringe factor reached new heights as John Cena made a surprise appearance, naked.
He presented the award for Best Costume Design in a hilarious and unexpected moment.
Jabs at Emma Stone.
Kimmel’s jabs didn’t spare Emma Stone, who seemed less than impressed with his commentary on the explicit scenes in Poor Things.
This raised eyebrows and speculation about her reaction.
Trump reacts!
Former President Donald Trump, never one to hold back, took to Truth Social to criticize Kimmel’s hosting skills.
He called for his replacement with “washed-up” talent like George Slopanopoulos.
Kimmel, unfazed, responded to Trump’s dig with humor, questioning if it was past the ex-president’s “jail time” and making light of the criticism during the live broadcast.
The night unfolded with more surprises as Kimmel tackled the early start of the show, criticized the box office bomb Madame Web, and highlighted snubs in Barbie’s Oscars journey.
As Kimmel’s monologue continued, he delved into the quirks of renowned director Christopher Nolan.
Here, he made light of his unique filmmaking approach and praised the actors in the industry.
The host skillfully weaved through various topics, touching on the length of movies, Bradley Cooper’s affinity for bringing his mom as a date, and Oscar trivia, keeping the audience engaged.
Amidst the banter, Kimmel acknowledged the industry’s recent strike.
He praised the behind-the-scenes workers and pledging support for their upcoming negotiations, adding a touch of solidarity to the night.
Oppenheimer dominates Oscars!
Oppenheimer emerged as the big winner of the evening, securing seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy.
The unexpected rivalry with Barbie unfolded, with the latter winning only one award for Best Original Song, while Oppenheimer dominated the major categories.
Emma Stone triumphed as Best Actress for Poor Things.
She overcame a wardrobe malfunction and delivered an emotional speech amidst a star-studded night celebrating cinematic achievements.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph set the emotional tone early in the evening, winning Actress in a Supporting Role for The Holdovers, marking a powerful start to the Oscars.
So, what actually landed Jimmy Kimmel in hot water?
The fearless host made a crass joke about RDJ’s former substance abuse, saying, “Is that an acceptance speech in your pocket, or do you just have a very rectangular p***s?”
In his monologue at the 2024 Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel also made a crude joke about Emma Stone’s performance in Poor Things..
He joked about the explicit scenes in the movie, saying, “Those were all the parts of Poor Things that we’re allowed to show on TV.”
This remark elicited a less-than-impressed reaction from Emma Stone, with some speculating that she may have even called him a ‘p***k.’
In the end, Kimmel’s monologue added flavor to the Oscars, leaving some laughing and others scratching their heads.Â
