Note to Will Smith... RDJ just a gave masterclass on how to handle a very average joke.

[@800Ms-k6n]

Fortunately unlike Will Smith, RDJ is in a healthy marriage and a wife that actually loves him. That's something that Will didn't have 🤷

[@MamadNobari]

Also, this would even be considered way more offensive than the tame bald joke Will Smith got angry about.

Nice monolog; my favorite part was Jodi Foster and Robert DiNero being recognized for receiving Oscar nods 48 years ago and who were both again in this audience as nominees.

[@lacountess]

That was the best part of the monologue. Those guys absolutely deserved the standing ovation and it was a touching moment that brought actors and behind the scenes workers together.

[@emu_warrior]

Jimmy is in a hard situation in some ways. He's very close to the president of ABC and Disney, so he also supports his business daddies, but he also wants to represent those in the industry. He's walking that thin line.

[@Swarmah]

sadly, that those behind the scenes workers they keep mentioning are usually bad writers, not the true masters, props workers, engineers, stunt safety workers and doubles, safety and medical crew, technicians, the ones that all of whom actually deserve more than actors themselves, but they are paid a bit more than grocery store workers. I have personally been , well not in a hollywood movie, but a local in my country in technical crew as welder. Well , compared to what the writers get, us who actually make the movie possible, and are responsible for actors safety, we get nothing. But well, im glad im not working full time for things like that, because im working for building constructions, and i would never take any job at movie industry to weld anything, because i get like 1/4th per hour of what i can get for actually working on constructions for things that stay there forever.

[@user-rt4ky3up1f]

Wow that is terrible

Emma Stone is gorgeous.

[@alister101]

She is, but I lost respect for her after poor things

[@thraciangrapes]

She's getting very lazy in her acting methods. Like all of them do once they get an Oscar.

[@Mariek9]

I wish that lady from Killers of the flower moon had won! I turned off the sound because she was blubbering away!@@alister101

Nice to point out the real workers, the people behind the scenes that make it all go.

[@shecandance9500]

Remember when Queen performed for the opening! It was great!

[@kr6productions]

RDJ tapping his nose and everyone knowing immediately, risky and distasteful joke and it was taken well 😂.

[@nameism7md]

what does it mean can you explain

[@nameism7md]

does it have anything to do with his addiction on coke

[@nameism7md]

does it have anything with his previous addiction

[@kr6productions]

@@nameism7md yes, it's about his coke addiction. To which since recovery he's always made jokes about it and shared how it changed his life.

I think he was saying the joke was too on the nose and not a very good one@@kr6productions

[@Rand0mN0rwegianGuy]

I agree that it was funny, but tbh… Kimmel should leave all of the US politics-related stuff out of the Oscars - although it can be pretty funny, it just riles up and angers people way too much, it’s such divisive topics; and I fear that the Oscars often lose big audiences because of it tbh. I get that that’s his “schtick”, but he should do that on his talkshow instead, and then keep it more on “the downlow” tbh whenever he’s doing these Oscar monologues etc. Just imo.

[@tamkid70]

@@Rand0mN0rwegianGuy you probably are correct, tbh, I have never watched the Oscars or any other awards show except for Grammys, and these comments make me actually want to watch the monologue at least. Little turn of the dagger 🗡️😄

[@aveeeabbasi7787]

5:30 that i wink of messy 😂❤

[@JordiVanderwaal]

Pretty safe monologue from Jimmy. He balanced it out pretty well (between making safe jokes and going "a little too far" a couple of times) to avoid controversy, but I would have loved if he went after the audience a bit harder. Loved that he called out directors for their attitude during the strike, and Hollywood in general for being elitists. Don't think this monologue will have people mad on Twitter.

[@notme2day]

Obviously you haven't been on the Twitter cesspool lately... that's a good thing though.

[@lindafischer8498]

Full monologue. Some attempts at jokes that simply did not land. He’s done his time and thanks for that, but time for someone new.

[@lindafischer8498]

Meant ‘dull’ monologue.

[@harleyharris238]

Yeah no going in on actors and studios still hiring xes assaulting directors etc

[@danadavis917]

Kimmel still sucks. He's like a talented guy who's mind has derailed.

[@musicallysound9464]

Hats off to RDJ for handling the unnecessary so well. And glad he gave it back to Jimmy while accepting the award. Jimmy was good otherwise. This should be a lesson learned for him to not attack at least good people under the belt.

[@patrickmartin72]

Wow that robert downey segment really bombed

[@BlacksBeachBoogieBurner]

"When Taxi was shot in 1976 Jodi Foster was young enough to be DeNiro's daughter. Now she's 20 years too old to be his girlfriend!" 😂

[@violet5428]

RDJ jokes are not great, but "an adult woman with a brain of a child like a lady who gave a rebuttal on state of the union" is damn good!!!

I like Kimmel but RDJ has class.

And what would that achieve?

[@itsbonkerjojo9028]

What was that about? I am here completely clueless but lotta people talking about it being absolutely tasteless . What history it got ?

[@joneill62614]

RDJ already confirmed in the post-oscar interview that the joke was pre-approved ahead of time. All these people online freaking out over nothing. He isn't that fragile ffs lol.

Greta deserves a nomination, to say the least. I had a stint with the industry (due to voice acting) and heard a story how - back in Sacramento - she was dumped by her then-boyfriend, who told her she would never achieve anything, while he was kicking her out of his car. Guess, she proved him wrong...

[@Tomy_Yon]

Agreed!

[@space.aeon8]

Greta deserve a nomination just because her ex-boyfriend told her something? Ok. Great argument.

Greta is THE BEST

​@@space.aeon8this kook is posting this under every clip

[@Rpgd49990]

She’s gotten nominations in the past for her better films. She wasn’t snubbed this year, there was just better picks. Barbie’s great but not on the same level as her previous work, and not on the same level as other movies this year.
