'We know this is a special night for you. We want you to have fun, we want you to feel safe, and most important, we want me to feel safe,' says Kimmel. Oscars Oscars95
LOS ANGELES, USA – Comedian Jimmy Kimmel, returning for a third stint as Oscar host, led a back-to-basics show on Sunday, March 12, that sought to celebrate a moviegoing rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic while avoiding the kind of unscripted outburst that marred the 2022 telecast.
“We know this is a special night for you,” Kimmel told the crowd of Hollywood luminaries. “We want you to have fun, we want you to feel safe, and, most important, we want me to feel safe.” “If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point during this show, you will be awarded the Oscar for best actor and permitted to give a 19-minute speech,” he deadpanned to hearty but somewhat awkward laughter.
Otherwise, Kimmel presided over a telecast dedicated largely to hailing the return of film fans to movie theaters, following a long estrangement from the multiplex that many in the industry worried might never be broken once streaming services took hold during the pandemic.
