During the 2024 Oscars, there were countless memorable moments. Whether it was John Cena’s semi-nude appearance to present Best Costume Design, or Ryan Gosling’s incredible performance of “I’m Just Ken” with the rest of the Barbie cast, this year’s Academy Awards gave the internet quite a lot to talk about.
With that said, however, there’s one brief moment from the show that is taking over the internet, and it’s not exactly what viewers might expect. In fact, for many viewers, the moment was so fast we didn’t even notice it.
It all began when clips of Poor Things, starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe, played on the big screen. Then, the night’s hostJimmy Kimmel walked on stage and cracked a joke about the Best Picture nominee. “Those were all the parts of Poor Things that we’re allowed to show on TV,” the late-night host said, referring to the movie’s many explicit scenes.
Following the joke, the camera then panned to Stone, who looked less than pleased with the comment. According to many internet users, Stone proceeded to whisper to her husband Dave McCary that Kimmel is a “prick.”
“Emma Stone calling Jimmy Kimmel a ‘prick’ after he insinuated that Poor Things was only about sex….” wrote one user on X. “emma stone calling jimmy kimmel a prick😭 oh clock that tea queen,” wrote another.
And while we can’t confirm if that’s really what Stone said, it’s safe to say that most of the internet is siding with Stone on this one. After all, her portrayal of Bella Baxter was so much more than sex that it even granted her the Best Actress award!
“Saying what we all think,” wrote one user. “That’s what he is!” echoed another.
And while we won’t go far defending Kimmel, we must admit that his job last night was to make people laugh and poke fun at the world’s biggest movies. One joke might not have landed, but that’s just a normal part of it!
