Oscar winner Richard Baneham has said some of Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes “should’ve been vetted” at the Oscars – as he hit out at the host’s treatment of James Cameron at the Academy Awards.
The Dubliner won his second Oscar for his visual effects work on Avatar: The Way of Water on Sunday night but was left miffed after his speech was cut short.
But the Tallaght native said he didn’t like Kimmel’s slagging of Avatar director Cameron, who couldn't attend the Oscars for personal reasons.He said: “Honestly there were a couple of jokes that should’ve been vetted… much more clearly on their side. The fact that they gave Jim (James Cameron) a hard time for not being there was ridiculous. First of all, not being recognised but also, he’s dealing with family.
