Jimmy Kimmel Slams CBS at the Oscars for Not Supporting Free Speech and Jokes That Trump Is ‘Going to Be Mad’ That ‘Melania’ Isn’t Nominated

> In coming out to present the documentary short and documentary feature Oscars, Kimmel joked that O’Brien had gone out and accidentally “exposed his face to the sun and was incinerated. So I will be finishing out the rest of the program.” > But turning serious, he noted that with documentaries, “We hear a lot about courage at shows like this but telling a story that could get you killed for telling it is real courage. As you know there are some countries whose leaders don’t support free speech. I’m not at liberty to say which. Let’s just leave it at North Korea and CBS.” > “Fortunately for all of us there’s an international community of filmmakers dedicated to telling the truth, oftentimes at great risk to make films that teach us, that call out injustice, that inspire us to take action, and there are also documentaries where you walk around the White House trying on shoes,” he added — taking a subtle dig at Amazon MGM’s “Melania.” > Which he also did again later, in giving out outstanding documentary film. That’s when Kimmel joked, “Oh, man, is he going to be mad his wife wasn’t nominated for this.”

Conan has been savage tonight and I love it

Waiting for them to hold their own award show, so Melania can win one for their stupid movie.

Slammed?  I was surprised how  mild everyone was.  The documentary guy was the most impactful IMHO.

Maybe FIFA can give Melania an award.

Well it came out in 2026. It will probably sweep awards season next year amirite?

Kimmel never mentioned Trump or Melanie by name. Misleading headline. We did however get it

I am so surprised he took this stance, and applaud his bravery.

If he wasn't before, he is now.

How many people still watch the Oscars?

Kimmel isn't funny and he's a piece of s#!t.

Does every event have to do this? Are these people voiceless any other day? Political theater goes stale fast

JK is a b****, he can keep his lame jokes to his looser worthless show.

It's so cute that they're pretending Colbert's cancellation is a "free speech" issue when in fact his show got the ax because it was losing his network a fortune. Maybe Jimmy would like to make up the $40 million a year The Late Show was losing CBS in order to keep it on the air.
