the 2024 Oscars, beating the expected winner, Lily Gladstone, in an upset, didn’t appear pleased by host Jimmy Kimmel’s sex joke.

Donald Trump’s criticism of him while hosting the Oscars last night (March 10).Kimmel, who hosted the Academy Awards ceremony for the fourth time, addressed the audience just before the final award of the evening, and read out a piece of criticism he had received during the event.A scathing review from the former President on Truth Social read: “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.”Kimmel continued to read aloud from his phone: “Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos.

Let’s do it.”This follows comments made by the actor over the last two years, after the series came to a dramatic cliff-hanger ending.

friends, little or large, joining Tony Montana at the Oscars Sunday night. The stage was set for Al Pacino, 83, to appear with Michelle Pfeiffer, 65, to present Best Picture and all signs pointed to a reunion of 1983’s smash hit “Scarface,” which was released 40 years ago in December 2023.However, audience members were shocked to see the Academy Award-winning actor take the stage solo to present the final award of the evening.Pfeiffer was kept from the ceremony for “personal family reasons” that prevented her from making it to Los Angeles, according to Deadline.The camera did, however, notice one of Pacino’s other notable costars from “The ‘Godfather” franchise and focused on Robert De Niro, cheering him on in the crowd.Without building much suspense, Pacino, who received a standing ovation as he took the stage, did not list any of the the 10 Best Picture nominees before announcing “Oppenheimer” as the winner.The pair had starred as Tony Montana (Pacino), a Cuban refugee turned drug kingpin, and Elvira Hancock (Pfeiffer), his cocaine-addicted girlfriend, in the remake of the 1932 film of the same name.“Scarface,” directed by Brian De Palma, never received any Oscar nominations after its release.

posted on Truth Social. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.”While the rest of America indulged in the shady comments, awkward moments and quirky Oscars humor, Trump apparently couldn’t bear to watch Kimmel host Hollywood’s biggest night.“Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed-up but cheap ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos wrote on March 10.

snooze-o-rama Oscars, “Oppenheimer” deservedly took home seven trophies: best picture, director (Christopher Nolan), actor (Cillian Murphy), supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), cinematography, score and editing.It wasn’t a brutal beatdown. “Poor Things,” starring Emma Stone, snapped three technical awards away from it (as well as a Best Actress honor for Stone), and Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction” deprived the atom bomb movie of Best Adapted Screenplay.

win at the 2024 Oscars prevented “Killers of the Flower Moon” star Lily Gladstone from making history as the first Native American woman to win in the category.Stone, 35, tearfully accepted the award for “Poor Things,” although she, too, appeared stunned by her win.

“I’m Just Ken” might actually win Best Original Song over “What Was I Made For?” — Billie Eilish’s far superior “Barbie” tune.After all, another Oscar win would make Eilish, 22, and her producer brother, Finneas, 26, the youngest two-time Academy Award winners in history after their victory in 2022 for the Bond theme song “No Time To Die.”Perhaps with some voters thinking “too much, too soon,” an upset seemed to be brewing.But now the siblings are in the history books — as they should be.Sometimes it’s just as simple as real recognizing real — whether it’s at the Oscars or the Grammys.And when Eilish got a standing O from Hollywood’s finest after performing “What Was I Made For?” at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night, it was an acknowledgement of just how far ahead she was of the other Best Original Song nominees.To be honest, it wasn’t even as hauntingly heartbreaking as her performance of the tune just before it took Song of the Year at the Grammys last month.But it was still real artistry on raw display that was all the chills and feels.“What Was I Made For?” also became only the 10th song in history to win both the Grammy for Song of the Year and the Oscar for Best Original Song.That puts it in some pretty prestigious company, with the likes of “Moon River” (from 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) “The Way We Were” (from 1973’s “The Way We Were”), “Evergreen” (from 1976’s “A Star Is Born”), “You Light Up My Life” (from 1977’s “You Light Up My Life”), “A Whole New World” (from 1992’s “Aladdin”) and “My Heart Will Go On” (from 1997’s “Titanic”).Bravo, Billie and Finneas.

Ryan Gosling’s rendition of Matchbox Twenty’s “Push” was, well, no match for his live rendition of “I’m Just Ken” at the 2024 Oscars.
