    1. > 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.”

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

      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.

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

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