Jimmy Kimmel is kicking off the night!
The 55-year-old talk show host took to the stage at the 2023 Academy Awards as host for the evening on Sunday (March 12) held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
In his opening monologue, Jimmy joked about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock last year while also trolling Tom Cruise and James Cameron for skipping the ceremony.

Jimmy joked that with five Irish actors nominated for Oscars, “the odds of another fight on stage just went way up.”
“We want you to feel safe, most importantly we want me to feel safe … so we have strict policies in place,” Jimmy continued. “If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence during this show, you will be awarded the Oscar for best actor and permitted to give a 19-minute long speech.”
“Seriously, the academy has a crisis team in place,” Jimmy added. “If anything unpredictable happens during the ceremony happens, just do what you did last year. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug.”
Jimmy then took aim at Tom and James for not attending the awards show.
“Tom Cruise and James Cameron didn’t show up,” Jimmy started. “The two guys who insisted we go to the theater didn’t go to the theater.”
“James Cameron is not here. You know a show is too long when even James Cameron can’t sit through it … Some of the critics are saying Jim Cameron isn’t here because he didn’t get a best director nomination,” Jimmy said. “And while I find that very hard to believe about a man of such deep humility, he does have a point. I mean, how does the Academy not nominate the guy who directed Avatar? What did they think he is, a woman?”
Jimmy did praise Tom‘s appearance in the beach volleyball scene in Top Gun:

For the first time since the ceremony’s inception the 2023 Oscars featured a non-red carpet, with the Academy instead opting for a champagne colour. Organisers said the colour was chosen to “evoke the sunset” and that the decision had been approved by Academy boss Bill Kramer.The decision came from creative consultants Lisa Love, a longtime Vogue contributor, and Raul Avila, the creative director for the Met Gala in New York.

right for it. It actually took the host most of his monologue to get a slap joke in. In fact, it seemed for a bit that he might pull his punches, when he only made a fairly tame joke about the chances of a fight happening, referring to the cast of “The Banshees of Inisherin.”“Five Irish actors are nominated, which means, the odds of another fight on stage just went way up,” Kimmel joked.But in the end, he did go for the slap directly, and he went for the jugular when he did.

Will Smith shockingly smacked Chris Rock onstage at the Academy Awards after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith, the comedian reignited the feud with his Netflix stand-up special “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage” last Saturday.“Will is embarrassed and hurt by what Chris said about him and his family in his Netflix special,” a Smith source told “Entertainment Tonight.”Embarrassed or not, last year’s Best Actor winner received a 10-year ban from the Oscars and other associated Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences events, so he cannot present the trophy for Best Actor in 2023 as tradition dictates. And a source told Page Six the violent dust-up won’t go unmentioned Sunday night.“We’re going to acknowledge it, and then we’re gonna move on,” executive producer Molly McNearney said in a press conference.
The 95th Oscars are set for Sunday, March 12, with the ceremony to kick off at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET live on ABC from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. Jimmy Kimmel returns to host for a third time.
Many things about the Academy Awards have changed over the years, but for the past six decades there has been at least one constant: The red carpet. The hues have varied over the years, but it has always been some shade of red. Until this year.
