Oscars 2023: They didn’t have cufflinks this year, but Jimmy Kimmel trashed Will Smith (VIDEO)
Watch his monologue
A few hours ago, the 95th Oscars Award Ceremony was fortunately completed … without any sleazeball drawing all eyes on him. The presenter of the show was for the 3rd time in the history of the institution, Jimmy Kimmel , who arrived on stage with a parachute, as if he had just landed from Top Gun Maverick.
From his monologue, which had various jokes and jokes about Hollywood stars and clichés, there was of course a reference to the famous “cuff” of last year’s show. Specifically, Kimmel emphasized that if someone from the audience performs a violent act, then they will be awarded the Oscar for best actor and will be given the opportunity to speak for 19 minutes. Of course, the presenter also mocked the Academy, which after last year’s incident, awarded Will Smith the same night for his role in the movie King Richard.
Soon after, Kimmel pointed out that anyone who dares to do such a thing this year will have to go through his various patrons, his special “crisis team”, with the camera panning to various members of the audience, such as Michael B. Jordan, Pedro Pascal and Andrew Garfield.

Jimmy Kimmel’s joke about Will Smith cuffing Chris Rock at last year’s Oscars:
In case you want a refresher, one of the most viral moments in Oscars history is when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock live during the 94th Awards Ceremony. The incident took place after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Because she suffers from alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that causes severe hair loss, Pinkett-Smith didn’t like the joke, which led Will Smith to get up from his chair and slap Rock, freezing both the audience and the millions of people watching the event. Since then, much has been heard about the incident, culminating in a special clip of the Rock’s recent stand-up show, in which the comedian was literally out of control.
