Emma Stone was certainly not amused by one of Jimmy Kimmel's jokes during the Oscars. The audience was left wondering what she had called him after he made a joke about her movie, Poor Things. As the host for the fourth time, Jimmy opened his monologue with a joke about the show already being five minutes behind due to a protest for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war. He then proceeded to make fun of Madame Web for its flop at the box office and took a dig at Greta Gerwig's snub for best director for Barbie. However, he received backlash for making a drug reference about Robert Downey Jr.
One particular moment during Jimmy's hosting that caught everyone's attention was when he mentioned Emma Stone's role in the best picture nominee. He joked, "Emma Stone played an adult lady with the brain of a child, kinda like the lady that gave the State of the Union rebuttal." Emma's reaction to this joke was captured on camera and social media was buzzing with speculations about what she mouthed to her co-stars. Some believed she called Jimmy a "prick" while others struggled to read her lips.
Regardless of what she said, Emma's reaction quickly went viral and was hailed as "iconic" by fans. Poor Things, which also stars Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe, received 11 nominations at the Oscars this year and took home three awards for hair and makeup, costume, and production design. The film tells the story of a woman who is brought back to life by a scientist and goes on a journey with a lawyer, challenging the societal norms of her time.
The film's success at the Oscars has made it one of the most talked-about movies this season. It received major commercial success and earned Emma and Mark acting nominations. The team behind the film, including UK talents, also took home awards at the Bafta film awards just a few weeks prior.
The Oscars also saw other big wins in different categories, with Oppenheimer taking home the most awards. Robert Downey Jr won for Best Supporting Actor, while Cillian Murphy took home the award for Best Actor. Oppenheimer also won for Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects, and Best Original Score. Poor Things also won for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Production Design, and Best Costume Design. For more coverage on the Academy Awards, head to the Metro's dedicated Oscars page.
