Jimmy Kimmel recently revealed his unexpected return to the Oscars stage, citing a surprising source of inspiration - Barbie. Kimmel, a late-night comedian, initially hosted the Academy Awards in 2017, a memorable year when the wrong film was announced as the best picture winner. Despite the challenges, Kimmel returned to host the Oscars in 2018 and again in the following year.
Reflecting on his past experiences, Kimmel acknowledged the immense effort required to host such a prestigious event. He noted the difficulty of engaging an audience that may not have seen all the nominated films, recalling an instance where a joke about 'Moonlight' fell flat because many attendees hadn't watched the movie.
