Jimmy Kimmel studied “martial arts” to prepare for hosting Oscars 2023

Ben Affleck steals the show at the “Air” red carpet.

Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, looked great on Monday at the premiere of his film,  at Regency Village Theatre in West Hollywood — but it was their daughters who stole the show.The 52-year-old actor and his wife of 17 years were joined by their three daughters, Isabella, 16, Gia, 14, and Stella, 12, who posed next to their parents on the red carpet. Damon recently co-founded a production company called Artists Equity with Ben Affleck, who also attended the premiere with his wife, Jennifer Lopez.Air, directed by Affleck, tells the story of the sneaker brand, Nike, and Air Jordan's rise to fame.The new film features an all-star cast, including Chris Tucker, Jason Bateman, and EGOT winner Viola Davis.Also at the premiere, Damon, Affleck, and Davis, all Oscar winners, posed together.The shoes — produced by American corporation Nike, Inc — were created for Hall of Fame former basketball player Michael Jordan during his time with the Chicago Bulls in 1984 and were released on April 1,1985.Although not directly involved with the film, Jordan met with Affleck prior to the start of production and gave the project his blessing. The casting of Davis was his idea.Damon plays sports executive Sonny Vaccaro, who is in charge of improving Nike's sales in their basketball division and works to sign rookie Jordan to a deal to wear their shoes.During the premiere, Damon jokingly spoke with ET's Kevin Frazier about his longstanding bitter rivalry with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who was also at the event.

tribute speech in honor of his friend Adam Sandler being awarded this year’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the comedian called out the Oscars for snubbing the “Uncut Gems” star.“I’ve known this guy for 30 years,” Rock, 58, said of Sandler, 56, during his speech from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.“The Oscars, you know, they’re f–king a–holes,” he continued. “And if they don’t want to give my man his props, we will tonight.”Rock appeared to be referencing Sandler’s lack of a nomination for his role as New York City jeweler Howard Ratner in the 2019 film, “Uncut Gems.” Sandler’s role was highly praised, with some even calling it the “finest” performance in his entire career — including The Post.The movie grossed over $500 million domestically on a $19 million budget, according to box office stats.Along with glowing reviews, it even scored an award from the USA National Board of Review as a “top ten film.”However, the Josh and Benny Safdie-directed film was not nominated for any Oscars.In response to the snub, Sandler tweeted out a message at the time, writing, “Bad news: Sandman gets no love from the Academy.

Ethan Shanfeld While toasting Adam Sandler at the Kennedy Center Honors Sunday night, Chris Rock called out the Oscars for snubbing his performance in “Uncut Gems.” Honoring his longtime pal and “Grown Ups” co-star with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Rock said “nobody comes even close” to Sandler’s turn as the gambling-addicted jeweler Howard Ratner in the Safdie brothers’ 2019 film. “The Oscars, you know, they’re fucking assholes, and if they don’t want to give my man his props, then we will tonight,” Rock said (via People). The comedian also joked about his own Oscars experience, referencing the 2022 ceremony when Will Smith walked onstage and slapped Rock. He compared the incident to the attack against Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul, who was hospitalized after a man broke into his San Francisco home and beat him with a hammer.

Chris Rock isn’t quite done joking about the Oscars slap.

With the help of spot-on impersonator Nelson Franklin, Jimmy Kimmel played quite a montage making fun of Congressman “Curious George” Santos’ reelection filing Wednesday night. After announcing that Santos had filed paperwork indicating his plans to run for reelection in 2024, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host introduced the “first of many ads announcing this campaign.”“Times are tough. Money is tight.

Ke Huy Quan's not ready to stop celebrating Oscar triumph just yet. As Jimmy Kimmel recapped this year's Oscars gala during his opening monologue on  on Monday, Quan dropped in for a high-energy surprise visit.Kimmel — who hosted Sunday's star-studded show — recalled some of the night's biggest (and most hilariously awkward) highlights, when he was paid a visit by Quan, still decked out in his tuxedo and holding his coveted golden statue.«I didn't know you were coming, what are you doing here?» Kimmel asked, beaming.«I'm looking for my car,» Quan replied, explaining that he was still up from the night before.

Oscars presenter Jimmy Kimmel gave Nobel Peace Prize 2014 winner Malala Yousafzai the opportunity to weigh in on last year's 'Spitgate' during a break from the golden handouts. Incase you missed it, back in September Don't Worry Darling duo Harry Styles and Chris Pine were entangled in a rather bizarre bit of hearsay, with the former seemingly captured on video spitting on his co-star before sitting down at the Venice Film Festival.The final say, though, arrived six months later at Hollywood's iconic Dolby Theatre, with Jimmy telling Malala in the star-studded 95th Oscars audience: "Great to have you here, congratulations on your movie.

Angela Bassett fans are supporting the actress after her reaction to losing the Oscar to Jamie Lee Curtis for Best Supporting Actress.

Emily in Paris actor Lucien Laviscount didn't hold back on the Oscars carpet as he made his feelings about the Conservative government clear amid the ongoing Twitter row with Gary Lineker. The 30 year old actor shouted "f**k the Tories" and appeared to make a rude hand gesture when approached by GMB's North American correspondent Noel Phillips for his opinion on the matter.

The elephant in the room. It’s been one year since Will Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards, but the incident’s aftermath was very much present at the 2023 Oscars.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large OK, that was surreal. Johnny Knoxville, Eric Andre and Gabourey Sidibe re-creating the famous “Ghostbusters” commercial from the 1984 movie, but promoting a hotline for… pranks? But it’s all real, the phone number works (1-855-PRANX4U) and the three of them have indeed gotten into the pranks business via their upcoming ABC series “The Prank Panel.” Scroll below to watch the promo. Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel is one of the executive producers on “The Prank Panel,” which airs this summer. On the show, everyday people pitch pranks targeting family members, friends and co-workers to the prankster panel — Knoxville, Andre and Sidibe. They then help plot the schemes, and serve as mentors and saboteurs as the pranks are carried out (and with the help of celebrity guest stars).

Ke Huy Quan is a winner!

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.

Hello, and welcome to Oscars Sunday on Deadline. Tonight we gather as another lengthy awards season draws to a close, and what a bizarre season it has been. Before the year started, who would’ve thought a pic like A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, a scrappy sci-fi comedy adventure about an Asian-American family, would go from outside underdog to odds-on front-runner? The film debuted last year out at SXSW but has stuck around, charming its way onto screens across the world and picking up top honors from all four major guilds — a sweep only four other films have ever achieved. But can it win Best Picture? That’s perhaps the biggest question still at play this evening.

While it's highly unlikely we'll see a repeat of last year's infamous slap, tonight's Academy Awards could still make history - albeit in rather less dramatic fashion. While Will Smith will not be present - he received a ten year ban after storming on stage mid-ceremony last year to slap comedian Chris Rock - there remains the potential for some groundbreaking first-time winners and major career milestones. Here are some of the moments that might define this year’s Oscars...

spectacularly slapped by Will Smith at last year’s Academy Awards, but it’s the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who could be getting their own smackdown at the 2023 Oscars. A public relations expert believes that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be roasted by big names at the ceremony, set to take place this Sunday, March 12, in Los Angeles. While the privacy-conscious couple won’t be in attendance at the glitzy event, PR guru Matt Yanofsky said there’s a good chance they’ll still be referenced on Hollywood’s big night.

Hugh Grant, Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh have become the latest A-list names to join the star-studded list of presenters at this year’s Academy Awards in Los Angeles. The British household names will appear alongside fellow industry heavyweights including Antonio Banderas, Sigourney Weaver and Elizabeth Banks at the annual event on Sunday, as the Academy of Motion Pictures and Science rewards the best and brightest film talent to have emerged in the last twelve months.
