Jimmy Kimmel takes Greta Gerwig&#039;s Best Director snub personally and attacks Oscar voters for their decision.

Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Every Single Oscar Voter for Snubbing Greta Gerwig for Best Director

With the Oscars running on air right now, every heart is pining their hopes for
this or that win. However, before this, several tabloid references paid special
attention to the biggest snubs this year, and the name that topped that list was
Greta Gerwig [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/greta-gerwig/]’s miss for
Barbie’s Best Director category. While many may have let that upset slip from
their minds following the glitzy show of the Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel was not one to
forget. As a result, he began the starter with a call-out monologue for every
single Oscar voter who felt they did not have “anything to do with this”.

Kimmel commenced by casually thanking Gerwig, who many people thought to be
deserving of the nomination. As enthusiasts began to applaud, Kimmel’s tone took
an about-turn as he took a jibe that very second. As if like leading the voters
into a pitfall they made for themselves, Kimmel seized the opportunity to
address the same clap of hands that “didn’t vote for her”. 

Keeping in consideration how even the Oscar promo featured Kimmel and the Barbie
cast also took a satirical stance with the snub, Kimmel’s call-out comments at
the ceremony did not come as entirely shocking. Instead, it was something the
crowd saw coming rather visibly.

Even though it seems like Kimmel took the snub quite personally, it makes sense
when the underlying reasons become apparent. Specifically, since Barbie was
allegedly the motivator behind his acceptance of the hosting role, his hard
feelings about the snub were not all that baseless.


HOW DID BARBIE MOTIVATE JIMMY KIMMEL TO HOST THE 2024 OSCARS?

Pretty evidently, the equations between the Barbie movie and Kimmel are more
than the Oscars could see. Hence, talking to AP News a while back, Kimmel made
his confession about how the flick basically became a driving force to accept
the hosting job for the 96th Oscar because of its chances of bagging
nominations. He first mentioned how both Oppenheimer and Barbie made his job “10
times easier”
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-oscars-jimmy-kimmel-embraces-barbenheimer-oscar-nomination-admits-it-makes-his-job-easier/]
by being relevant to such a level.

Following that, he made a special mention of Barbie as “one of the contributing
factors”. At the time, it is possible that he did not predict the big snub that
Oscar voters could introduce. The host added how Barbie paved the scope for him
to find “good angles” for his hosting game. Although, of course, later he did
carry a heavy heart after Barbie’s snub from Best Director, the consequent
fuming disappointment finally unleashed on the Oscar stage.

I'm Anushka Bhattacharya, an entertainment journalist at Netflix Junkie. Armed with a degree in literature, I once wielded my words to catalyze change within society through my work with NGOs. However, as I stumbled into the exuberant hole of crime thrillers and documentaries on Netflix, it was love at first sight and pushed me into entertainment journalism. With a dash of wit and a keen eye for detail, my mission is to deliver the most discerning news related to Hollywood celebrities. When my Spidey senses aren't tingling to catch the latest entertainment buzz, I'm busy adding yet another accolade to my extensive list of reasons why Dark stands as one of the foremost mysteries of our time.
