2017 Oscars: Top Moments From the Ceremony3 of 12
Roasting POTUS
It didn’t take long for Kimmel to turn his opening monologue into a savage roast of President Donald Trump. After noting that the ceremony was "being watched live by millions of people in 225 countries that now hate us," Kimmel singled out the "mediocre" and "overrated" Meryl Streep — prompting a standing ovation for the celebrated actress.
Taking a more sincere turn, Kimmel called for unity and said: “If every person watching this show… took a minute to reach out to someone you disagree with, someone you like and have a positive, considerate conversation — not as liberals and conservatives, but as Americans — we could make America great again.”
Kimmel later joked that Trump would likely be tweeting about the night so everyone who had made a big speech should be prepared.
