Jimmy Kimmel is all set to host biggest award night of year, Oscar awards 2023. TV host and writer addressed 95th Academy Awards nominations during Tuesday night’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Highlighting some of bets being made ahead of this year’s ceremony, Kimmel discussed that movie lovers have been betting on who could win certain categories and many of them have been speculating a repeat of 2022 Oscars slap fiasco.

Kimmel noted that Oscars betting sites are allowing people to bet on whether repeat of infamous Will Smith slap of Chris Rock incident will occur.

In his monologue, he read bet, “Will any host or award presenter be slapped during show?”

“If you put $ 100 on yes, you win $ 1,200 which, I have to say, seems like they’re encouraging someone with gambling problem to slap me,” Kimmel quipped.

Besides Kimmel, Wanda Sykes, currently hosting Daily Show, joked, “If you’re wondering how they picked nominees this year, they basically just went, ‘Hmm, let’s see, who’s not going to slap nobody?” Kimmel will be hosting Oscars on Sunday, March 12.–Agencies
