Jimmy Kimmel took a swipe at Trump during the Oscars. He read out Trump’s tweet criticizing his hosting abilities. Trump suggested replacing him with George Stephanopoulos. Kimmel fired back on stage, joking about Trump’s possible jail time.
The 2024 Oscars were mostly Trump-free with politics still playing a role. Attendees like Mark Ruffalo and Billie Eilish wore red pins supporting a Gaza ceasefire. Jonathan Glazer, while accepting an award, spoke out about the Middle East violence, drawing parallels with his Holocaust drama.
Kimmel made his fourth appearance as Oscars host this year. The ceremony saw a peaceful protest regarding the Gaza conflict, causing a slight delay in the proceedings. Despite the political undertones, the night was filled with glitz and glamour as Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered to celebrate the best in film.
