Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back at the 96th annual Oscars, delivering a series of rapid-fire wisecracks targeting Hollywood stars and taking a jab at Alabama Republican Senator Katie Britt without explicitly naming her. Referencing Emma Stone’s Oscar-nominated role in ‘Poor Things,’ Kimmel likened the character to ‘an adult woman with the brain of a child,’ subtly alluding to Britt’s criticized response to President Biden’s State of the Union address. Britt faced backlash on social media and was even lampooned on ‘Saturday Night Live’ for what many viewed as a ‘melodramatic’ rebuttal. Kimmel, known for his outspoken views on politics, hinted at the possibility of incorporating a last-minute political jab into his Oscars monologue. The late-night host’s remarks at the ceremony suggest that no public figure is safe from his comedic critique, even on Hollywood’s biggest night.
