Jimmy Kimmel knows at least one thing when it comes to his third stint hosting the Academy Awards Sunday: Nobody’s going to slap him for telling an…
You’d think hosting the Academy Awards would be much like a 1988 song by Poison: “Nothin’ But a Good Time.” You get to host an entire night of television dedicated to loving movies! Plus, you get to be in the same room as some of the most beloved movie stars in history. Instead, it’s an experience that leaves many disillusioned entertainers feeling like they suddenly bought a house in a 2002 song by Joe Nichols: “Brokenheartsville.” What should be an exciting opportunity to spread some laughs and film references has instead become such a cursed element of the Academy Awards that the ceremony even eschewed a host recently for three consecutive years.

“It’s still shocking that that happened,” Kimmel said. “To see something like that happen outside of like The Maury Povich Show is shocking. And then for it to happen on the Oscars magnifies it by about a million times….”
Regina Hall, Wanda Sykes and Amy Schumer kicked off the star-studded award show with a hilarious monologue. DJ Khaled appeared onstage to hype up the trio on before they launched into their act.
“This year the Academy hired three women to host – because it’s cheaper than hiring one man,” Schumer began.
“But I’m still excited to be hosting, representing Black women who are standing proud,” Hall said, while Schumer added, “And I’m representing unbearable white women who call the cops when you get a little too loud.”
