Los Angeles: The 95th Oscars ceremony is progressing in Los Angeles. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel has come as the host this time. This is Jimmy’s third time hosting the Oscars. One of the highlights of last year’s award ceremony was the incident in which actor Will Smith punched host Chris Rock in the face.
Will Smith apologized publicly at the Oscars. Will Smith directly apologized to Chris Rock the next day. Will Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. The Academy also banned Smith from attending the Oscars. Now Jimmy Kimmel has spoken about this controversial incident. Jimmy’s comment was hilarious.
Five Irish actors have been nominated for Best Actor. Looks like a great fight. We want you to enjoy the ceremony safely. Most importantly, I want to be safe. So we have strict rules. If someone in this theater commits violence at any point during the awards ceremony, you’ll be presented with the Best Actor Oscar and allowed to give a 19-minute speech. The academy has a dedicated team to deal with crises. If something unpredictable or violent happens during the show, just sit there and do nothing. “Maybe hug the bully. If any of you are offended by a joke, if you want to enjoy it – it’s not going to be easy,” Jimmy said.
In 2017, Jimmy was the presenter at the Oscars announcement ceremony where La La Land was announced as the best picture instead of Moonlight. Immediately after the announcement of the best actress, actor Warren Beatty and actress Faye Dunaway were invited to announce the name of the best film. But the cover given to them was for Best Actress. The cover, which had Emma Stone writing the name La La Land, initially confused the two. But after seeing the name of the film on the cover, both of them announced that the best film was La La Land. This mistake was described as a ‘historical blunder’.
