Jimmy Kimmel started off the 2024 Oscars with some playful jabs at some of the nominees!
The late-night talk show personality — who is hosting The Oscars for the fourth time — started off his opening monologue by joking about the event notoriously going over it's time slot.
"The show is starting an hour early this year, but don't worry, it will still end very, very late," he told the crowd on Sunday, March 10. "We're already five minutes over and I'm not joking. It's going to be a long night. It was a hard year but a great year for movies despite the fact that everything stopped."
Kimmel also took a moment to acknowledge Barbie, which earned a whopping nine nominations this year before turning his attention to one of the film's stars — Ryan Gosling.
"Ryan you are so hot. Let's go camping together and not tell our wives," he said, earning a laugh from Gosling and the rest of the crowd.
Pivoting to Oppenheimer, which beat Barbie with a shocking 13 total nominations, Kimmel praised Robert Downey Jr. for his role in the award-winning film.
"This is the highest point of Robert Downey Jr.'s long and illustrious career...well, one of the highest points," Kimmel joked, seemingly referring to the actor's former struggles with addiction.
