Mar 13, 2023It was fine, but the Malala jokes were tasteless and cringey. 'RRR' musical segment was cool, though.
-
Mar 15, 2023An absolute joke. The Oscars have become the laughing stock of the entertainment industry.
-
Mar 15, 2023After heavy or boring ceremonies like those of the last 5 years, the 95th Academy Awards manage to bring something calmer and lighter that although it seems that they would be boring, manage to be enjoyable with cringe-giving touches.

Kimmel, in his opening monologue, made several wisecracks in regard to “the slap,” but from his tone, one got the sense that his remarks weren’t meant only to be funny. He was establishing that 2023 would not be a repeat of 2022 — and it wasn’t. It was such a relief to see something, anything, actually get better.

Kimmel wasn’t long-winded—no doubt part of the effort to keep things under four hours—but his monologue didn’t feel thin. That’s a great return to form for the broadcast. ... That doesn’t mean the broadcast didn’t irksomely tinker. ... The show’s dedication to brevity also began to grate as the evening went on.

Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes didn’t provide many laugh-out-loud moments (though “Cocaine Bear, leave Malala alone!” has a decent shot at an afterlife), but he kept things moving and light on their feet without ever trying to make the show about himself. ... When the Oscars work, they work because the winners say or do something memorable. And last night gave us plenty of that.
