The show’s MC – Jimmy Kimmel – was highly appreciated for his opening monologue at the awards ceremony. However, his colleague, comedian Guillermo Rodriguez, was considered redundant on the show.

Guillermo Rodriguez came to distribute drinks to the audience and mispronounced the names of actors John Krasinski and Colman Domingo. According to the New York Post, this is a boring, unnecessary moment.

Even though he was praised for keeping pace at the awards ceremony, MC Jimmy Kimmel was still criticized for some unflattering jokes on the show.

The 56-year-old actor mentioned “Iron Man” Robert Downey Jr.’s drug addiction past. before praising the actor’s talent. This joke was judged to be lacking in sophistication, causing Robert to sadly stare at the camera lens. After the awards ceremony, many people criticized Kimmel for being ungainly.

MC Jimmy Kimmel is also said to have offended actress Emma Stone when mentioning her hot scenes in the movie Poor Things . “That’s everything in the movie  Poor Things that we’re allowed to show on TV,” the male MC said as a short image of the movie played on the screen.

When the camera panned to Emma Stone, many people realized that the actress was not very happy with Jimmy’s jokes. Poor Things is considered the most intense film in Emma Stone’s acting career and brought her the second Oscar gold statue in her acting career.

Standing on stage to receive the award for Best Actress, Emma sobbed to express her emotions and admitted that her dress had a problem. This affected Emma Stone’s award acceptance performance.

The Oppenheimer movie won at this year’s awards ceremony, reaping 7 Oscar gold statues. “Godfather” Al Pacino was assigned the task of announcing the important award – Best Movie. After saying a few bland jokes about whether he should perform Shakespeare or not, the 83-year-old legend opened the envelope and read Oppenheimer’s name.

Some opinions said that this was the most disappointing award announcement at the awards ceremony because Al Pacino did not even mention the other films nominated in the Best Picture category. |
