LOS ANGELES — Comedian Jimmy Kimmel, returning for a third stint as Oscar host, led a back\u002Dto\u002Dbasics show on Sunday that sought to celebrate a moviegoing…
“If anything unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just sit there and do what you did last year, nothing,” Kimmel added. “Maybe even give the assailant a hug.”Later on, when introducing presenters for the documentary feature award, Kimmel reminded viewers it was that category that Rock was presenting for when a joke he made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, prompted Smith’s assault.
Otherwise, Kimmel presided over a telecast dedicated largely to hailing the return of film fans to movie theaters, following a long estrangement from the multiplex that many in the industry worried might never be broken once streaming services took hold during the pandemic.Article content The theme was bolstered by the fact that several of the evening’s Oscar-nominated films were also among 2022’s biggest box office hits, including “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Elvis,” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” It was a departure from many years in which relatively little-seen, but critically acclaimed, films have dominated the Academy Awards.
Kimmel seized on the power of popular films in his own grand entrance on Sunday, appearing to parachute to the Oscar stage following a real-life Hollywood flyover by two U.S. fighter jets shown at the very top of the telecast in an obvious nod to “Top Gun,” which the host later saluted as “the movie that saved the movies.”
The late-night ABC television comedian repeatedly made light of the Oscar’s notorious history of exceeding its designated three-hour running time, joking at one point that the hour of sleep Americans lost on Sunday as the U.S. reverted to daylight saving time was added into Academy Awards telecast.
