Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Everyone During Opening 2017 Oscar Speech

Kimmel isn’t the first host to utilize twitter live during the Academy Awards. He was actually at the Governor’s Ball, which was being held the same night as the Oscars. Not only that, but numerous winners and nominees are not only immigrants but in some cases can not even attend due to Trump’s politics, so politics absolutely can not be divorced from Hollywood in 2017.

“Time to find out how well those Spanx really work”, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host declared as actors and actresses gleefully grabbed at the parcels.

Some of the levity was delivered via intentional stunts, such as candy and snacks dropping out of the ceiling attached to parachutes, while other moments – presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway naming “La La Land” the victor for best picture when it was in fact “Moonlight” – was not. Then Kimmel followed up with another tweet, just a quick little hashtag to convey greetings from Meryl Streep, who Trump very recently called “overrated” after she spoke about him at the Golden Globes.

“That man right there”, said the woman, pointing at Washington.

Jimmy Kimmel continued the anti-Trump theme by tweeting the US President from the stage.

“We’re more than two hours into the show and Donald Trump hasn’t tweeted to us once”, he joked more than two hours into the show – as he sent two tweets to the 45th president of the United States: “Hey @realDonaldTrump U up?” and “#Merylsayshi”.

While introducing the nominees for Best Animated Feature, “Mozart in the Jungle” star Gael García Bernal did not miss out on his opportunity to slam Trump’s proposed Mexican border wall.

Kimmel started off the night on a serious note, urging everyone watching the telecast to “reach out to one person you disagree with and a have a positive conversation”. “Remember when the Oscars seemed racist?” “And he’s not going to unite us either”, he told the audience who laughed. But Farhadi did not attend the Oscars in protest of President Trump’s attempted travel ban covering Farhadi’s home country as well as six other Muslim-majority nations. Hollywood got a good shot of adrenaline after the Best Picture mix-up between Moonlight and La La Land happened.

In a speech he’d written – which she read out – he said, ‘My absence is out of respect for the people of my country, and those of other 6 nations, who have been disrespected by the inhumane law that bans entry of immigrants to the USA’.
