Kimmel, who hosted the present for a fourth time, started with a joke about box-office flop Madame Internet. “This night time is filled with huge expertise, and untold potential, however so was Madame Internet,” he mentioned. The road had few folks guffawing. (Possibly that is as a result of not lots of people noticed the Dakota Johnson-led movie?)

On the flip aspect, when Kimmel known as out Barbie’s Oscars snubs (director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie didn’t obtain nominations within the directing and performing classes, respectively), he elicited a number of cheers from the viewers — which Kimmel additionally known as out.

“You are those who did not vote for her, by the best way! Do not act such as you had nothing to do with this. You probably did this!” he mentioned. Attendees continued to cheer.

Nonetheless, the gang — together with social media — did not get pleasure from when Kimmel roasted good friend Robert Downey Jr. hours earlier than he was poised to win his first Oscar.

“That is the very best level of Robert Downey Jr.’s lengthy and illustrious profession — properly, one of many highest factors,” Kimmel mentioned, referencing the actor’s very public sobriety struggles many years in the past. “Is that too on-the-nose, or is {that a} drug movement you are making?” The bit stored going, inflicting various folks within the theater to groan.

Nominees obtain acceptance speech tips

Actor and comic David Alan Grier was the announcer for the night, and earlier than the present began, he dished out some good recommendation to the A-list crowd.

“Chill out. The toughest half is over! You’re nominated,” he mentioned as the gang cheered. “Tonight we’ll have a good time you and your work, however we’re right here for an excellent time — not a very long time. So let’s maintain these speeches brief, alright? Do not be up right here thanking your brokers, your publicists, your tax preparer, studio execs; do all that after the present. … Admittedly, that is an intimidating room, however it’s your room. So in case you win, rise up on that stage, seize the second, communicate from the center. All people needs to say one thing that can be remembered tomorrow and past.”

Grier suggested that whereas folks love listening to private issues, the audio system shouldn’t get too private, bizarre or lengthy.

“In closing, keep in mind these phrases: Do not f*** this up,” he quipped.

Zendaya sneaks in fashionably late

As Zendaya made her strategy to her seat, she was stopped by a number of celebrities who wished to say hello.

Grande makes an announcement simply sitting down

Talking of Ariana Grande, there was no lacking the Depraved star. Her Glinda-inspired pink robe could possibly be noticed from wherever within the theater. How did she sit in that (stunning) factor?

Everybody needed to go to the lavatory, or take a breather, on the identical time

Celebrities are similar to us. A slew of stars (Slash! Martin Scorsese! Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons!) meandered into the foyer bar space across the present’s one-hour mark. That included nominee turned winner Emma Stone, who sadly had poor timing.

As soon as somebody leaves, they aren’t allowed again contained in the theater till the next business break, regardless of who they’re. Stone was chatting with husband Dave McCary and missed watching Poor Issues win three awards back-to-back (Manufacturing Design, Make-up and Hairstyling, and Costume Design). She could not imagine it. When she realized what was taking place, she rushed to observe on a close-by TV.

Is John Cena bare?!

The wrestler turned Hollywood star turned heads even amongst his friends together with his schtick presenting the Oscar for costume designer. When Cena got here out sporting nothing however a pair of Birkenstocks, everybody inside and out of doors of the theater cackled, gasped — and rapidly turned to 1 one other asking if he had actually bared all of it.

The reply? Virtually. He had a skin-colored jockstrap on the entrance and a small nude transient on his bottom.

Kimmel fuels Oscars visitors with a pretzel, scorching tamales

In accordance with the group’s web site, St. Joseph Middle’s mission is to “present working poor households, in addition to homeless males, girls, and kids of all ages with the inside sources and instruments to grow to be productive, steady and self-supporting members of the neighborhood.”

Kenergy jolts the Dolby Theatre

It was like being at the very best one-minute live performance ever. Gosling’s efficiency was teased all through the again half of the present. It was the primary (and solely) time the actor carried out the Oscar-nominated music “I am Simply Ken” dwell.

The primary time Grier hinted it was coming despatched folks working from the bar space on all flooring to their seats. There was buzz all night time concerning the efficiency and nobody wished to overlook seeing it in particular person. (For those who did, you’d watch it on a dwell feed exterior the theater.)

Gosling had everybody, and I imply everybody, out of their seats dancing and singing alongside to the Barbie music. Lyrics flashed on TVs within the theater and everybody received into it. Actor Simu Liu (who performed one of many Kens) instructed the viewers throughout a business break to face up, activate the flashlights on their telephones and sing the phrases — particularly calling out Cillian Murphy.

The one phrase to explain the efficiency is “electrical.”

Oscars crowd will get a kick out of Kimmel’s Trump bit

Kimmel learn a submit on Reality Social from former President Donald Trump criticizing his internet hosting expertise:

But it surely was Kimmel’s comeback that had the room roaring: “Thanks, President Trump. Thanks for watching … is not it previous your jail time?”
