Jimmy Kimmel mocks Al Pacino’s Best Picture Oscars 2024 flub

Say hello to my different presenting style.

Oscars 2024 host Jimmy Kimmel jokingly slammed Al Pacino’s presentation of the coveted Best Picture award while appearing on “Live with Kelly and Mark.”

“I guess he’s never watched an awards show before,” Kimmel, 56, told Kelly Ripa, 53, and Mark Consuelos, 52, in a clip aired on Monday. “It seems like everyone in America knows the rhythm of how it’s supposed to go, down to ‘And the Oscar goes to…’ but, uh, not Al.”

The “Scarface” actor — who was supposed to reunite with his co-star Michelle Pfeiffer until she dropped out last-minute — appeared during Sunday’s star-studded assembly to present the top honor … with his own twist.

Instead of building the tension and suspense — as other presenters have before — by naming each of the 10 nominated films, the “Godfather” star just blurted out the victor.

“This is the time for the last award of the evening, and it’s my honor to present it. Ten wonderful films were nominated, but only one will take the award for Best Picture,” Pacino stated while fumbling to open the envelope. “And, uh, I have to go to the envelope for that, and I will. Here it comes. And my eyes see ‘Oppenheimer.’ Yes. Yes.”

Pacino’s abrupt announcement took some by surprise inside LA’s Dolby Theater — and others at home.

The Post reached out to Pacino for comment.

Several critics were quick to react on social media, too.

“This is the time for the last award of the evening, and it’s my honor to present it. Ten wonderful films were nominated, but only one will take the award for Best Picture,” Pacino stated while fumbling to open the envelope. “And, uh, I have to go to the envelope for that, and I will. Here it comes. And my eyes see ‘Oppenheimer.’ Yes. Yes.” Rob Latour/Shutterstock

“Wish Al would have read all of the nominees first. I was looking forward to seeing the sizzle reels, and a bit of tension,” one person posted on X (formerly Twitter).

“The downside of elderly legends giving out the biggest award,” stated a second person. “Pair them with a younger star to make sure they do what they are supposed to do or tape the announcement of the ten nominees. Disrespectful to not give them their due.”

“Didn’t anyone tell him he had to read the names of the nominated films before he opens the envelope,” a third user lambasted. “Was he drinking?”

Despite several negative reviews, others defended him.

“People think he forgot to say the nominees, but they did the same non-announcement for Best Song,” a user pointed out. “Perhaps they skip saying the nominees in both categories because each song was sung and each movie highlighted during the ceremony.”

“This always happens at the end of these awards shows especially when they have an 80-year-old presenting. You can’t blame them. Get over it,” another angry X user posted.

“Another old Hollywood legend hung out to dry at the end of the show,” a third person lamented.

Although Kimmel teased Pacino, a source claims to E! News that the actor’s abbreviated speech was a creative direction by production.

Christopher Nolan’s three-hour epic, which was nominated for 13 awards, took home the top prize, beating out “American Fiction,” “Barbie,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “The Holdovers,” “Poor Things,” “The Zone of Interest,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Past Lives” and “Maestro.”

The biopic also earned gold statues for Best Director (Nolan), Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Editing, Best Cinematography and Best Score.

‘He’s a terrible human being’

Matt Damon has no plans to end his long-standing “feud” with Jimmy Kimmel as he called the late-night host a “bad” person at the premiere of his new movie, “Air.”

When asked by ET on Monday if he would ever consider burying the hatchet and moving on, Damon replied, “No, no, he’s an a–hole. Why would I ever do that?”

He continued, “He’s a terrible human being. He’s a demonstrably bad man.”

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host walked the carpet a few paces behind Damon, while the “Jason Bourne” actor heckled him.

“Hey! I’d love to take a picture with you but we ran out of time!” he yelled to Kimmel, referencing the TV personality’s ongoing gag in which he apologizes to Damon at the end of every episode for running out of time to interview him.

Damon said Kimmel was a “bad” person.

Kimmel then told the outlet, “You know, I don’t know who that was, but yeah, I heard him. He was loud.”

When asked if the pair might consider reconciling, he responded, “I just can’t imagine it happening. I really can’t. I think we have Ben [Affleck] on tomorrow, so we’ll have that, but that will be as close as we get.”

The duo’s faux feud began in 2006 when Kimmel, 55, off-handedly joked that’d bumped Damon, 52, from an episode of his talk show.

Kimmel continues to reference the actor at the conclusion of his late-night show.

“We had a bad show … The guests were bad, and I was feeling pretty bad about myself at the end of the program,” Kimmel told NPR in 2013.

“And I decided to say, for the amusement of one of our producers who was standing next to me, ‘I want to apologize to Matt Damon. We ran out of time.’ And he got a kick out of it, the producer, so I just started doing it every night to amuse him.”

Both Damon and Kimmel have continued committing to the bit, nearly 20 years after it began.

He explained that Damon was just the “first name that popped into [his] head,” and there was no particular reason why he chose him.

“I was trying to think of an A-list star, and somebody we absolutely would not bump if he was on the show,” he said.

“People laugh every time I say it. Repeating the same joke every single night, you’d think eventually people would get tired of it, but they don’t.”

Oscars 2023: Date, Time, and How to Watch in India

The 2023 Oscars — or the 95th Academy Awards — has almost dawned upon us, celebrating exceptional performers and storytellers in the film industry for the past year. A whopping 10 movies are vying for the top honour of Best Picture this year, with critical darling Everything Everywhere All at Once bagging 11 nominations. Meanwhile, the German anti-war epic All Quiet on the Western Front has tied with Martin McDonagh’s latest Irish black comedy The Banshees of Inisherin, scoring nine nods each. The 2023 Oscars will be hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who last appeared at the ceremony in 2018.

After last year’s Will Smith slap incident, the Academy is bringing in a ‘crisis team’ to handle any unexpected, real-time emergencies during the ceremony. “We have a whole crisis team, something we’ve never had before, and many plans in place,” Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) CEO, Bill Kramer confirmed in an interview. “We’ve run many scenarios. So it is our hope that we will be prepared for anything that we may not anticipate right now but that we’re planning for just in case it does happen.” The organisation admitted to its security team’s response not being swift enough, allowing Smith to freely march up the stage and slap presenter Chris Rock, over a joke he made about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head, which she shaved off following an alopecia diagnosis.

2023 Oscars date and time

In India, the Oscars 2023 is scheduled to take place live in the early hours of Monday, March 13, at 5:30am IST. For US audiences, this translates to Sunday, March 12, at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. The event will be broadcast live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, exclusively on the ABC network.

How to watch the 2023 Oscars in India

The 2023 Oscar Awards will be streamed live exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar in India, alongside Indonesia.

A Disney+ Hotstar subscription costs Rs. 299 per month for a Premium subscription, which will let you watch the Oscars 2023 There’s a Super plan as well, which allows for 1080p streaming at Rs. 899 per year, albeit it comes with advertisements.

2023 Oscars presenters and performers

As mentioned before, Kimmel will be playing host at the 2023 Oscars, introducing any upcoming presenters and performances (I hope he doesn’t waste too much time with his jokes). This year’s ceremony will see a long line of stars, who will present awards in various categories, including Halle Berry, Paul Dano, Cara Delevingne, Harrison Ford, Kate Hudson, Mindy Kaling, Eva Longoria, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Andie MacDowell, Elizabeth Olsen, John Travolta, and current Internet favourite Pedro Pascal.

Previously announced presenters include Halle Bailey, Antonio Banderas, Elizabeth Banks, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, John Cho, Glenn Close, Jennifer Connelly, Ariana DeBose, Andrew Garfield, Hugh Grant, Danai Gurira, Salma Hayek Pinault, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, Nicole Kidman, Troy Kotsur, Jonathan Majors, Melissa McCarthy, Janelle Monáe, Deepika Padukone, Florence Pugh, Questlove, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Donnie Yen, and Riz Ahmed. Ahmed also revealed the Oscar nominations, earlier this year, with Allison Williams (Get Out).

The Indian action epic RRR’s energetic track ‘Naatu Naatu’ will be performed live at the 2023 Oscars, with composer M.M. Keeravani promising the dance aspect as well, with some stars joining on stage. The track has been nominated in the Best Original Song category this year, competing against the likes of Top Gun: Maverick’s ‘Hold My Hand,’ ‘Lift Me Up’ from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, ‘This Is a Life’ from Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Tell It Like a Woman’s ‘Applause.’

Rihanna will be making an appearance to perform the Black Panther 2 track, while Best Supporting Actress nominee Stephanie Hsu joins musician David Byrne and music trio Son Lux for a rendition of ‘This is a Life.’ Sonia Carson and Dianne Warren will also perform ‘Applause’ live on stage, with the latter marking her 14th Oscar nomination.

Top Gun: Maverick’s ‘Hold My Hand,’ however, will not be performed live at the 2023 Oscars since its vocalist Lady Gaga won’t be able to make it to the ceremony. “We invited all five nominees. We have a great relationship with Lady Gaga and her camp. She is in the middle of shooting a movie right now,” Glenn Weiss, executive producer, Oscars, confirmed earlier this week (via Variety). “Here, we are honouring the movie industry and what it takes to make a movie after a bunch of back and forth… It didn’t feel like she can get a performance to the calibre that we’re used to with her and that she is used to. So, she is not going to perform on the show.”

2023 Oscars nominees

As mentioned before, the uber-creative Everything Everywhere All at Once leads the pack with 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Michelle Yeoh for Best Actress, Ke Huy Quan for Best Supporting Actor, and Jamie Lee Curtis for Best Supporting Actress. Of course, the directing duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — colloquially known as Daniels — have secured nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay as well.

Both Barry Keoghan and Ana de Armas earned their first Oscar nominations for The Banshees of Inisherin and Blonde, respectively. Meanwhile, Brendan Fraser made a dramatic return to mainstream Hollywood with The Whale, earning a nod amongst the best actors of the year.

From India, we have three Oscar nominees, including the aforementioned ‘Naatu Naatu’ track from RRR. Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes competes to be crowned the Best Documentary Feature Film, while Kartiki Gonsalves’ The Elephant Whisperers is nominated for Best Documentary Short Film.

All Quiet on the Western Front appears to be a top contender this year with nine nominations, including in the Best Picture category. The film previously took home the biggest prize at this year’s BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Film Awards, in addition to six other trophies.

Jimmy Kimmel Completely Avoids Discussing Quinta Brunson Emmys Debacle in ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Monologue

While Jimmy Kimmel‘s rude, scene-stealing Emmys moment was all the internet could talk about after Monday’s award ceremony, the late night host himself didn’t utter one peep about it on last night’s episode of his eponymous talk show.

Kimmel — who upstaged Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson as she accepted the award for outstanding writing for a comedy series by lying at her feet during her speech — never mentioned his immature antics in his Tuesday Jimmy Kimmel Live monologue.

Although Kimmel had plenty to say about the 2022 Emmys, including a story about Andrew Garfield‘s IRL superhero skills and a dig about the show’s ratings, he steered clear of his own headline-making stunt after getting blasted on Twitter for his “infuriating” and “irritating” bit.

Viewers were unimpressed after Kimmel was dragged onstage to present the comedy writing award with Will Arnett, but remained onstage during Brunson’s speech even after she tried to “wake him up” as she accepted the Emmy.

Before last night’s show, Kimmel briefly addressed his rage-inducing stunt at an Emmys after-party. The comedian told Entertainment Tonight on Monday that he was oblivious while Brunson was accepting her award.

“I had my eyes closed, I had no idea where I was. It was one of the weirdest things that’s ever happened to me,” he said.

He can claim he had “no idea” where he was, but Kimmel did flash a quick thumbs-up at Brunson, so we’re calling B.S. on that excuse.

If you ask Brunson though, the whole thing is nothing more than a joke from someone she considers to be a “comedy godfather.” The writer and actor brushed off Kimmel’s bit in a video shared by Variety after the Emmys.

“I felt like the bit didn’t bother me that much. I don’t know what the internet thinks,” she said, in part, before joking, “Tomorrow maybe I’ll be mad at him. I’m going to be on his show on Wednesday, so I might punch him in the face. I don’t know, we’ll see what happens.”

That’s right — Kimmel and Brunson are meeting again just days after the Emmys, where their buzzy awards show moment is sure to come up … and she just might knock him out. Watch it live when Jimmy Kimmel Live airs tonight at 11:35/10:35c on ABC.
