LOS ANGELES — Well, Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel came out swinging when he opened the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday.
The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host pulled no punches — er, slaps — when he addressed the giant elephant in the room at this year’s Oscars.
The elephant being that show-stopping moment during last year’s ceremony when “King Richard” star and lead-actor winner Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, onstage during the live telecast.
