Jimmy Kimmel skewers Gerwig snub and praises Messi the dog in Oscars monologue


Chatshow host Kimmel is in charge for the fourth time as the Academy seeks to improve audience numbers for its TV show

After showing the canine happily seated in the audience, Kimmel said of Messi’s performance: “I haven’t seen a French actor eat vomit like that since Gerard Depardieu.” It’s not just a bunch of heavily Botoxed, Hailey Bieber-smoothie drinking, diabetes prescription abusing, gluten-sensitive nepo babies with perpetually shivering chihuahuas. Sunday evening’s broadcast is slated to see a panoply of big-name celebrity presenters outside of Kimmel, including Dwayne Johnson, Jennifer Lawrence and Zendaya as the Academy attempts to boost audience numbers for the Oscars telecast.
