Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel had a few jokes about last year’s famous slapstick saga.
While many events have taken place on the Academy Awards stage since it began in 1929, none are as memorable as the drama that unfolded when Will Smith took the stage to slap Chris Rock for making fun of his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith’s shaved head. Thus, it is inevitable that this year’s host will use a rare gem in his monologue when starting the ceremony on Sunday night.

After two decades of making people laugh from his late-night talk show desk, Kimmel returned to the Oscars stage for a third time as host of the ceremony — and fans were not disappointed. The 55-year-old comes with her game, including quality jabs at the Rock-Smith incident. Per PEOPLE, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The executive producer kept his humor relatively light as he began:
“Five Irish actors are nominated tonight, meaning the chances of a fight are increasing. We want you to have fun, feel safe, and, most importantly, we want me to feel safe.”
Although Kimmel quipped that there is a “strict policy,” any guest who commits an “act of violence” during the ceremony will be awarded an “Oscar for Best Actor” in addition to being allowed to “give a 19-minute speech.”

The comedian added that if “anything unpredictable or violent” happens during the ceremony, attendees are expected to “sit there and do nothing. Maybe even give the attacker a hug.”
“And if any of you get mad at the joke and decide to make fun of it — it’s not going to be easy,” the father of four concluded before giving a shout-out to on-screen fighters in the audience like Michelle ‘Akidah’ Yeoh and Michael B. Jordan .
As the ceremony neared the two-hour mark, the Daytime Emmy Award winner asked the crowd, “At this point in the show, it kind of makes you miss a little slap, doesn’t it?”
Despite having other jokes about Ozempic and Tom Cruise’s affiliation with Scientology, Kimmel closed the awards show with one last slapstick joke. To that end, the Brooklyn-born celebrity walked backstage to a sign with the words, “Number of Oscars Broadcast Without Incident,” reversing the zero to one.
Minus the winning joke of “The Serious Goose,” the biggest winner of the night was “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” The 2022 sci-fi adventure leads the pack with seven wins, including the coveted Best Picture with individual nods for Ke Huy Quan, Yeoh, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
In addition to the Best Picture win, “EEAAO” was also honored in the categories of Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Editing, Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay.
