At the 96th Academy Awards, Jimmy Kimmel, the host, didn’t hold back when responding to a critical post from former President Donald Trump on social media. Just before the award for Best Picture was announced for “Oppenheimer,” Kimmel took a moment to address Trump’s remarks.
Reading from his phone, Kimmel shared Trump’s scathing review of his hosting performance. Trump’s post suggested replacing Kimmel with another ABC personality, George Stephanopoulos and criticized the Oscars as politically correct and dull. The post was shared on Trump’s social media platform during the ceremony, adding a layer of real-time drama.
In response, Kimmel thanked Trump for tuning in before humorously questioning if it wasn’t time for Trump’s legal troubles to catch up with him. The audience erupted into cheers and laughter, signaling their support for Kimmel’s retort.
The tension between Trump and Kimmel isn’t new, with past jabs exchanged between the two. Trump’s previous tweet in 2018 mocking the Oscars’ low ratings was met with Kimmel’s wit as well. Their banter continues to add spice to the ongoing saga between politics and entertainment.
