Jimmy Kimmel took a moment during the Oscars telecast right before Al Pacino took the stage to present best picture to “Oppenheimer” to read aloud Donald Trump‘s latest social media post that bashed Kimmel as this year’s Oscars host.
“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars,” Trump asked his followers. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.”
“Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years – Disjointed, boring, and very unfair,” Trump continued. “Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them. Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Kimmel fired back at Trump by saying, “Blah, blah, blah…Okay, now, see if you can guess which former president just posted that on RruthSsocial. Anyone? No? Well, thank you, President Trump. Thank you for watching, I’m surprised you’re still — isn’t it past your jail time?”

Trump is one hundred percent correct. I’m glad it rattled the Hollywood loonies.
It doesn’t matter whether Trump made a comment about the Oscars or not, Jimmy Krimminel would have pulled an anti-Trump joke out of his backside anyway. It is what he is paid to do.
Trump lives rent-free in Kimmel’s head. Trump just got some more earned media. Thank you Jimmy and the Oscars.
Was the tweet real? I thought Kimmel made it up?
“Trump could have ignored the Oscars show, Kimmel could have ignored Trump.
Trump continued to show he has to comment on everything, Kimmel showed why we don’t care about the Oscars and haven’t cared for many years.”
I see every movie worth seeing. This year I went out to see some old classics. I did see Oppenheimer.
It was not entertaining for me. But it is a very good movie well cast, well produced with good soundtrack. The story was very ver good
I know now that Chris Nolan is an excellent director with a good education and an English lit degree from a good British school. He met his wife in school and she started then helping him make movies. She’s now his producer Emma Thomas.
I haven’t watched the Oscar’s in 20 years. However this year I’ve got every one around here grabbing me to watch the awards as they are all wildly fans of Chris Nolan since the Dark Knight Rises came out - a long time ago- and Christopher Nolan has been getting snubbed all that time. A la Spielberg
We saw the awards shows this now this year and they handed Nolan and his cast, crew and producer wife awards for Oppenheimer like mad. The SAGs the golden globes and the Governors award hosted by John Mullaney who was knowledgeable, spontaneous, hilarious and roasted the subjects without being ad homenim insulting
Nolan’s film deserved all of it and also the competition is abysmal. Hollywood has become a lecturing boring entity who completely disregards the power of storytelling - and visual storytelling- to portray common themes to help individuals inspire themselves to become better at whatever they do by seeing protagonists go through adversity to succeed and how to do it
People tuned in. Nolan fans tuned in. Nolan is a family man whose family is on set. He works to lead. He does what he expects others to do. He is calm and non egotistical. He is excellent and expects the same of his staff. He doesn’t allow phones on set. He expects work. His cast and crew adore him and follow him. It’s reminiscent to me of capt winters in band of brothers
He watches all manner of film and tv. He watches fast and furious loves mission impossible and quotes Dr Strangelove at will. He uses no internet for his material as he wants security and simplicity, and because it is uneccessary, which has proven successful
On most acceptance speeches the award winner tonight at the Oscar’s indicated family members in the audience parents and children. Mothers in law fathers in law siblings. They said thank you to the academy, the Nolan’s, their agents, their families and got off the stage. They focused on the movie not themselves nor any other unrelated thing
What the audience saw, anticipating all this, having seen the previous award shows that Oppenheimer dominated, was Kimmel opening by pointing out that Nolan does not use internet, though Kimmel quipped that Nolan uses no internet on set in order to keep his porn addiction at bay. Nolan was sitting next to his wife and daughter for this ‘joke’. It went flat. The Nolan’s laughed to be sports. The joke was not funny, among many reasons, because it wasn’t anywhere near true, which is a building block of humor.
Kimmel then proceeded to make fun of Downey’s (RDJ’s) past of drug use and then talked about RDJ’s penis, again, neither of which the audience wanted to hear
The tv audience who tuned in for Nolan saw this train wreck, heard it screeching, slamming, exploding, and immediately tuned out Kimmel. They muted the live broadcast on seeing him speak. They learned quickly, used to being marginalized, that Kimmel was one of the those hateful ignoramuses so used to being sheltered among like thinkers that there was going to be no consideration that Oppenheimer was a truly great movie having been put together by a conglomeration of the most excellent movie makers
Nolan in his acceptance speech mused how movies would promise more greatness.
Then John Mulaney entered stage left. He delivered an intro to an award where he had the live and tv audiences laughing and delighted. Refreshed pleading for him to save them next year if not right away from another 5 hours of hate and boredom of Kimmel and his has been lecturing holier than them ignorant sheltered stale nonsensical R rated family unfriendly smut
At that point Kimmel took Trump’s bait. He recited Trumps message that everyone was thinking and handed over the torch to the next iteration of Hollywood who can and will make good movies of stories, comedy, tragedy, musical and decency.
Yet many ‘conservatives’ will slobber all over themselves about Hollywood and the Oscars.
Hollywood is awful. Haven’t seen the Oscar’s in decades. The last movie that was good was Marky marks version of events of Boston marathon bombing patriots day. Oppenheimer was a well made move. Please read my post 66 I hope it is encouraging
I mean post 65
It is the only thing more bored timing than the ocsars, what ever they are.
If I was little Jimmie, I’d be getting DNA tests done on my kids. They’re likely the gardener’s or the pool boy’s... :0)
America is in a Civil War and we NEED a President to lead the attack against these filthy communists!
We NEED a fighter for America!!!
So you want another Bushie Country Cluber aka "Leftwing RINO"?
Actually I see this a Kimmel taking the bait. No in watches this but but librards. And Kimmel didn’t as Lib this. It’s hollywierd and they do have “professional writers there? This is the best they could do?
Sure we need a fighter. And more often than not, commanders who know how to comport themselves and behave as an officer and a gentlemen.
Good personal conduct does not exclude the ability to fight hard.
Many good commanders (in the military, or not in) do not publicly express their distaste for the Oscars.
And most often, the loudmouth commander is the one more easily predictable - by opponents.
Also, as a senior commander, an example of good conduct helps the ranks to see that the ol’ man asks of others what he expects from himself.
What?!
Trump has a right to comment. It was boring. Kimmel is a jerk.
Was it wise? Think about it... showed trump was right yet again to millions. Presidential? I think so.
In our Civil war where we are on the precipice of the destruction of our Constitutional Republic, we NEED a street fighter to engage these communists.
Clearly, you prefer a nice Country Club faux-Republican to do battle against an enemy that does NOT play nice & does NOT play by the rules.
C’mon man, get back to reality and stop living in a dreamworld of unicorns and rainbows!!!
These are satanic monsters we are fighting in this war!!!
60% of the country has a favorable view of President Trump and a very large plurality absolutely loves the guy.
So you have some dumb ass alienating close to half the country.
No wonder the motion picture industry is crashing.
The woke garbage they are producing is unwatchable. A choice of 60 free streaming movies and a tedious cross country flight and I can rarely find one new production film that I can watch for more more than the first 10 minutes before shutting it off because of woke plot lines and obnoxious woke political activist actors who I really can't stand to watch under any circumstances.
Does anyone watch the Oscars?
Oscars in 1970.
Back when even Barbra Streisand was still just a tolerable egotistical prima donna and talent was still a thing in Hollywood

How far we have fallen in so short a time :-(
What a load of BS! It is so disappointing to read these types of comments on FR. Should women be allowed to vote? You were born a couple centuries too late. I see this more and more on FR. STOP blaming women who vote for the crappy election results!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Brilliant! "Slopanopoulos"!
