Blockbuster hits Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water were nominated for multiple awards, giving the Oscars a much-needed boost of populist appeal that had been lacking during the last two ceremonies. Kimmel highlighted the snub while poking fun at. A snafu like the Moonlight/ La La Land debacle can actually be a boon to the show’s watchability (and likability according to critics), while a cringeworthy misfire like Anne Hathaway and James Franco’s entire schtick can, predictably, earn terrible reviews.

Kimmel joked he's happy to accept hosting duties "after everyone good said no." The Academy may also have in mind that he has experience handling an on-air disaster should anything like the Will Smith slap happen again, as Kimmel hosted in 2017 when the wrong Best Picture winner was announced. In August, Chris Rock confirmed he was asked to host the 2023 Oscars, which could help boost ratings in the wake of the slap, but turned it down. This will be the first time for these three to emcee the Oscars and the first time in 35 years to have three hosts. The Oscars have been host-less since 2018, when Jimmy Kimmel emceed the ceremony.
