Former President Donald Trump had harsh words to say about Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel during the awards show Sunday night, and Kimmel had his own mocking words to say right back.
“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be,” he added, also making fun of ABC News host George Stephanopoulos.
Kimmel decided to take a minute during the show to read Trump’s post aloud, saying he was “really proud of something,” asking the crowd if he could share the “review” he got. After reading part of Trump’s post, he said he was surprised the former president was still awake, adding, “Isn’t it past your jail time?”
In his post, Trump also criticized the awards show for being “a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years – Disjointed, boring, and very unfair. Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them. Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths.”

Trump and Kimmel have mocked each other before, with the TV host saying in November 2022 he lost at least half of his fans due to his constant jokes aimed at Trump.
Oppenheimer was the big winner of the night, earning seven awards, including Best Picture, Actor in a Leading Role, and Actor in a Supporting Role.
