Jimmy Kimmel is getting his tuxedo out of the back of the closet and gearing up to host the Academy Awards.
"There are only two ways to prepare for the Oscar broadcast. One is to write a ton of jokes," said Kimmel. "And the other is to try and fit into your tuxedo. So I've been writing and starving."
Kimmel is thrilled to have some of 2022's more popular movies earn nominations because that means he doesn't have to explain movie plot points to the audience. And he says if something "crazy" happens... he plans to be right in the center of things, ready to comment on any unexpected moments. "I feel like I have a good sense of what needs to be done. Really, you just have to be funny at the beginning, and funny throughout the whole thing, and then apologize repeatedly for how long the show was," said Kimmel.Copyright © 2023 OnTheRedCarpet.com.

How the Academy Awards Changed Hollywood with Michael Schulman (author of ‘Oscar Wars’)It seems like there are a ton of award shows these days (because there are), but there’s one that started it all: the Academy Awards. For better or worse, it’s the one awards show that all are judged against. But the history of the awards says less about what was ever actually best and worst of the year, and more about film history and even the history of Hollywood itself. Today Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott chats with Michael Shulman, author of ‘Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat and Tears.’ If you’re a film lover, then this is the chat for you.
