This is the first time the Oscars have felt like "good old days" in probably 5-10 years. No grandstanding, no angry hurt-filled speeches, no drama, no traumatic sex predators, no real politics, no lineup of legacy nominees only there to make condescending statements about Hollywood's narcissism. Just a whole bunch of first-time nominees THRILLED to be there, speeches full of joy and enthusiasm, and a round of movies that I actually felt like I've seen. This felt like an Oscars full of positivity with very little cynicism, and I was genuinely overjoyed for every person who won. I wish more people actually watched this year because I feel like this was the year they finally got it right.
“We have nominees from every corner of Dublin.” This line always gets me 😂 among five Irish actors, four of whom are for the roles in The Banshees of Inisherin. Definitely worth watching ❤❤❤
Yeah Kimmel repulses me to the utmost extreme, and just the mention of his name has me wretching in disgust. This monologue however, was pure gold and I was absolutely rolling on the floor in uncontrollable laughter. I thought I was going to puke in delight. Yeah, this was the monologue.
I really like how he pointed out that what happened last year was wrong and how the audience didnt react to it . he didnt shy away from saving what is right and did it in a classy way
One of the best Oscar monologues ever. Love the John Williams shoutout. Listened to him since I discovered his soundtracks as a kid. And love Andrew Garfield’s face when Jimmy said Spider-man 😂 wrong one!
I never saw this on Sunday night, so am happy this is up on ESvid. I think the writers and Jimmy Kimmel did a *terrific* job! This must be a difficult gig, and when live, anything can happen. Yet the participants in his jokes all played along, which was fun, and no one was insulted (too badly). It *is* just movies, after all.
Its been a while since I felt this happy watching a video!!! Jimmy saying Top Gun Maverick was the best was emotional, every frame had 2-3 people I know but after Jimmy saying creed and beautiful Michelle yeoh, The Mandalorian Pedro Pascal AND OFCOURSE Spider-Man Andrew Garfield will be protecting him, broke into absolute hysteric applause!!! I loved this soo much!!!!! Well done Jimmy at the Oscars! 14.3.2023
Jimmy did an absolutely fantastic job of hosting. The way he addressed the audience showed so much respect and reverence while still being funny. Let’s not even mention that the way he addressed last year’s unfortunate event was the most tasteful and impactful anyone could have dreamed. Outstanding job Jimmy! Thank you!❤️
Yes, he can be funny and classy at the same time. What I like about his monologues, he manages to naturally turn them into hommages to people who deserve it, this time John Williams.
So glad that they brought back all 23 categories to be broadcast live. It was ridiculous to eliminate such important categories like cinematography, the very thing that makes movies as movies. Without cinematography, movies are plays or novels for chrissake. Finally everything is back to how it should be.
This the first time I actually laughed at an award show joke this was pretty good they need to have more talk show host they talk show host for a reason like Trevor Noah also did good 😂jimmy did good ngl
i didn't see all of it so i missed a lot but i love him as host. plus i do love the comedy bit about Matt Damon i would not be surprised if they are actually friends in real life but to keep the joke going they act like enemies.
GREAT HOST ! GREAT SHOW ! It had heart, class, humbleness. Unlike all the recent Awards shows there was NO VULGARITY, NO LEWDNESS, NO STREET TALK, NO CLASSLESS PEOPLE THINKING IT'S A RAPP PARTY. THANK GOD the OSCARS WERE REMINISCENT OF THE PAST. I HOPE IT CONTINUES. 👍
The Oscars are just so much better with a host. Any awards show needs an MC, gives the whole things structure and doesn’t feel awkward like the other years. He gets people laughing and loosens up the energy a bit and then its not as stiff for the rest of the show.
@Travis Repp Even Howard Stern couldn't get away with talking about his wife's personal issues on air, so Shapiro certainly can't. I'm afraid to Google this, so I'll just have to stay ignorant in this case.
@MrDac0964 I don't think so but you're right he would be great. I looked it up and couldn't find his name on the list. Bob Hope hosted 19 times, johnny Carson 5, David Niven 3, Steve Martin 3, Whoopi Goldberg 3, Billy Crystal 4, and Jimmy Kimmel 3.
Seguid la paz con todos, y la santidad, sin la cual nadie verá al Señor. Hebreos 12:14 Así que, arrepentíos y convertíos, para que sean borrados vuestros pecados; para que vengan de la presencia del Señor tiempos de refrigerio, Hechos 3:19 Vosotros veis, pues, que el hombre es justificado por las obras, y no solamente por la fe. Porque como el cuerpo sin espíritu está muerto, así también la fe sin obras está muerta. Santiago 2:24,26 Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna. Porque no envió Dios a su Hijo al mundo para condenar al mundo, sino para que el mundo sea salvo por él. Y esta es la condenación: que la luz vino al mundo, y los hombres amaron más las tinieblas que la luz, porque sus obras eran malas. El que cree en el Hijo tiene vida eterna; pero el que rehúsa creer en el Hijo no verá la vida, sino que la ira de Dios está sobre él. Juan 3:16-17,19,36
Big loving hug all gorgeous performers out there in the audience, wishing everybody other hundred years more having fun performing and entertain us fans because...you are our survivors kit, cinema shows are helping us carry on & you are doing a great job, no matter if good or not the best, watching a movie is suuuuper great always, nice speech, nice Oscar family...we have to find a bride for this poor bachelor, hoping he will have baby Oscars from now on, who is willing to become the next Oscarette?
The light feeling you get from the room whether due to the Host, Audience or the Stage Design it all fell into place. Ego's were set aside and everyone was just cheering for their Colleagues success! Plus that reunion with Harrison Ford and Short Round..memorable! Makes one forget Will Smith ever won an Oscar.
As a current student in a public speaking class, I really appreciate the skill it takes to be able to speak for such a long time without reading off of something. Kudos to you Jimmy!
I understand why you would think that way. Either way, The annual Academy Awards® by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences® is not 'a Mark Burnett production' - so I don't think they would something like, say, ‘Shark Tank®’: As a closest/non-scripted/unscripted parallel.
@Lola pearson because if smiths Wife suffering hair loss I forget what it's called you'd think someone would know that. I'm just guessing of course I do think it could have been a better joke also why a slap? Why not a punch?
Maybe it was just me but I really love the sense of camaraderie that Kimmel developed just calling out the names of those characters....(got chills with Mandalorian) as if they would form some kind of an Oscar superleague LOL....
What exactly were a seated audience at star-studded event celebrating the best in movies expected to do? Will Smith was laughing as the replay has demonstrated until he caught a glimpse of Jada's non-amused expression. His reaction & behaviour was way out of line. I didn't understand the hugs that followed but perhaps knowing he was probably going to win best actor, it was to calm him & remind him of an enormous moment in his career ahead. The standing ovation he received, well that a reaction that might have been fitting for his filmed performance, had he not shown himself in such a poor ' live' performance by striking Chris Rock. The irony of the win is that the cost was so great.
Jimmy Kimmel was the perfect host. I laughed out loud a lot, right up till the final bit. I noticed in the comments a lot of new fans - watch his show, as he is perfectly hilarious every single night. He is the absolute best!!!
Well said...He introduced the movies and actors nominated, spoke about cinema and other movies not nominated...+ Some funny facts. He brought some respect back to the Oscars.
The Spiderman, Fabelman and Guillermo joke was hilarious 😂😂. Jimmy was really good with this monologue, wasn't expecting so many good jokes from him especially some risky jokes.
What a difference ONE year makes! From the absolute crass, classless Will Smith train wreck to what will be one of the best comeback story of once blackballed and forgotten actor Brendan Fraser as Oscar winner for best actor. Jimmy’s Opening monologue captured the energetic upbeat vibe.
