Donald Trump wasn’t the only person who used social media to lambast Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes at this year’s Academy Awards. Some X users felt that his comments about “Poor Things” overlooked what the film is really about, and his attempt at humor didn’t land the way he probably intended it to. As @emmellas said, it’s a movie about a woman who rejects the status quo and fights for equality, and the sex scenes are just one part of the story.
Other users were more blunt in criticizing Kimmel, with some wishing he didn’t host the ceremony. “I don’t blame Emma Stone at all. I think Jimmy Kimmel should be sacrificed in her place,” @thefemiurge wrote.
Of course, other users found Stone’s reaction entertaining, though they seemingly agreed with the sentiment that Kimmel’s jokes were questionable. “I really enjoyed that shot of Emma Stone being completely over Jimmy Kimmel’s shtick,” @WeWhoWalkHere added.
