At the 2024 Oscars, host Jimmy Kimmel improvised a moment where he planned to read a social media post from Donald Trump, criticizing Kimmel’s hosting skills. Kimmel was given extra time during the show but was ultimately asked not to read the post on air. Despite this, Kimmel responded to Trump’s remarks on stage, making a joke about the former president being up past his “jail time.” The incident caused applause from the audience. Other highlights of the Oscars included Emma Stone winning Best Actress, Ryan Gosling’s performance, and a dog named Messi peeing on Matt Damon’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
