The Oscars 95 are finally here and our very own Jimmy Kimmel has already got the audience guffawing in the first few minutes of the show. As the Award Ceremony commenced, Kimmel got down to his own way of welcoming the stars to the event with all applause but with the classic tinge of slight roast. Be it the Godfather of movie directors, Steven Spielberg, or be it the King Richards star, Will Smith, Kimmel knew what he was doing. 

Speaking of Spielberg, he was not alone, though. Kimmel mock-slapped the granddad of Hollywood along with his actor-costar Seth Rogen while calling them the best pair of 2022. “The Joe and Hunter Biden of Hollywood” has been getting some wild groans from the fans, and we know why.

He further went on to poke a little more fun with the Canadian star asking him what he was high on. “Be honest, Seth. Mushrooms, right?” asked the host with the audience, crying tears while spilling peals of laughter all over. He further asked him if it was Spielberg who gave him one, taking a swipe at their movie together, the semi-autobiographical movie, The Fabelmans.

Give him one! Let’s see what happens! Maybe he’ll make something crazy,” added the host while concluding his roasting episode with the two stars. Nonetheless, it is to see whether all these games and fun still continue with the underdog of the best director category managing to bring home an Oscar for his works.
