The 96th Academy Awards ceremony, held on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, featured some notable moments. Host Jimmy Kimmel showered the event with sharp jokes, mocking the Academy for omitting Greta Gerwig, the director of "Barbie," from the Oscar nominations in the directing category. He remarked to the Hollywood elite present, "You all applaud, but you are the ones who didn’t vote for her."
However, the situation did not stop there, as Kimmel took pleasure in reading a message recently posted by potential Republican presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump, on his own social media network "Truth," where he criticized the host, calling him a "person of low standard." Kimmel responded to the potential presidential candidate at the end of the party, saying, "Thank you, President Trump. I’m surprised you’re still here; isn’t it time to go to jail?" This was a wordplay that combined Trump’s legal troubles with the idea of going to sleep due to the late hour.
It is noteworthy that the United States has become a country experiencing a sharp vertical division, with conservatives generally viewing Hollywood as overly progressive.
