Oscars Host Jimmy Kimmel Repeatedly Ridicules President Trump

HeadlineFeb 27, 2017

And awards ceremony host Jimmy Kimmel critiqued President Trump throughout the night, including during his opening statements.

Jimmy Kimmel: “We’re at the Oscars, the Academy Awards. You’re nominated. You got to come. Your families are nominated. Your friends. Some of you will get to come up here on this stage tonight and give a speech that the president of the United States will tweet about in all caps during his 5 a.m. bowel movement tomorrow. And I think that’s pretty darn excellent, if you ask me.”

As of now, President Trump has not yet tweeted about the Oscars.
