Oscars TV Review: Jimmy Kimmel Packs A Punch On Trump & More As ABC & Producers Finally Make An Academy Awards For The 21st Century


After way too long, the Academy Awards finally put on a show that celebrates movies & entertains

Bringing the great David Alan Grier in as the voice of God and picking up on what the Grammys and many other award shows have been put down in recent months, the Raj Kapoor, Katy Mullan and Molly McNearney executive produced Oscars joined the 21 st century this year. Barely heard over the standing ovation the crowd was giving the crew, Kimmel’s remarks that those who went on strike in 2023 would be there for IATSE, the Teamsters and other Hollywood crafts in their negotiations with the studios and a labor action of their own was a very public f*ck you to the corporate overlords. The very buff Cena was ironically right, “the male body is not a joke.” True, but damn it was hilarious and genius watching the nude and mock reluctant Peacemaker star hand out the Costume Design award while commemorating the infamous streaker who crashed the 1974 Oscars.
