Oscar 2023: India’s Moment of Glory
The Oscars 2023 will be special for India as the Telugu action film ‘RRR’ song ‘Naatu Naatu’ has been nominated in the Oscars. All eyes are now on this category’s Oscars. Along with this, Bollywood actors Deepika Padukone, Jimmey Kimmel and The Rock will be hosting the Oscars. This makes it even more special for India.
Kimmel spoke out against the slapping scandal
Hollywood superstar Will Smith slapped host Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars last year. Jimmy Kimmel was recently asked about this, what would you do if there was a slapping incident this time too.
Jimmy Kimmel has said that, if he finds himself in a ‘slap scandal’ while hosting the Oscars in 2023, he would size him up, if he’s bigger than him; he’ll beat him on television and if he’s The Rock then; he’ll be seen running.
At the 2017 Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel was at the center of an unforgettable blunder. When the final award winner was announced and it turned out to be the wrong name, Kimmel did his best to handle the situation. His effort was so impressive that the Academy asked him to host the 2018 ceremony. Now, in 2023, Kimmel will take the stage for the third time as Oscar host, proving that even embarrassing moments can have a silver lining.
