Jimmy Kimmel is back as 2023 Oscars host
Award-winning talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is hosting tonight’s ceremony.
This is Kimmel’s third time hosting the show. He first hosted the Oscars in 2017, and then again in 2018.
During an interview on “Good Morning America” earlier this week, Kimmel said he had thought about how he’ll address Will Smith’s now-infamous slap from last year’s Oscars.
“I know that a million jokes have been made about it, a million think pieces have been written on it,” he told “GMA” co-anchor Lara Spencer. “There has been a lot said about it, so whatever I say has to be I think -- you know, it has to be good.”
“And I do have some good things to say about it. I think that it’s gonna be on everybody’s mind,” he added. “Everybody’s gonna be waiting for that moment. And that will be part of the show, but certainly not the focus of the show.”
Who won at last year's Oscars?
"CODA" won the top prize last year in a historic win for the Deaf community. The Sian Heder-directed film also made history as the first film distributed by a streaming service, Apple TV+ in this case, to win best picture.
Jane Campion won best director for her film "The Power of the Dog," becoming the third woman to do so.
Will Smith won best actor for "King Richard” -- moments after slapping presenter Chris Rock onstage -- and Jessica Chastain won best actress for "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" while Troy Kotsur won best supporting actor for "CODA" and Ariana DeBose won best supporting actress for "West Side Story."
Denis Villeneuve’s "Dune" had the most wins of the night, snagging six trophies.

"Thank you for not squashing my creativity when I was making really disturbing horror films or really perverted comedy films or dressing in drag as a kid, which is a threat to nobody," Scheinert said.
Kwan thanked his father for passing down a love of movies to him and his mother for giving him a "creative heart."
Other directors nominated for the award included Martin McDonagh for "The Banshees of Inisherin," Steven Spielberg for "The Fabelmans," Todd Field for "Tár" and Ruben Östlund for "Triangle of Sadness."
