Tom Cruise, Babylon and the Academy itself also found themselves at the butt of Kimmel’s jokes on Sunday (12 March) evening.
Here are all his best quips from the night.
‘If anyone in this theatre commits an act of violence at any point during the show, you will be awarded the Oscar for best actor’
“We want you to have fun, feel safe and, most importantly, we want me feel safe,” Kimmel told the audience. Kimmel’s predecessor Chris Rock was the one on the receiving end of Smith’s slap last year after making a joke at his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s expense

Sometimes I’m not here to tell you what went wrong with a story. Not what I usually do, but sometimes a story just gets the law right. Doesn’t stop me from writing about it. I can have as much fun explaining why the law works the way it was portrayed in a story as I can explaining why the law doesn’t work the way it was portrayed in a story. In fact, I can have more fun. When I write about why a story is right, no one gets mad at me.
Champions v2 #7 is one of those stories that got it right. For those who haven’t read it, the new Champions comic tells the adventures of some teenaged Marvel super heroes who teamed up after they became disillusioned with the behavior of the adult Marvel super heroes. Particularly their behavior in Civil War II.

It’s the bombshell that left Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans totally speechless.
In the final moments of last week’s already-intense episode, Lisa Rinna asked Dorit Kemsley an outrageous question about a party Kemsley had earlier in the season.
“What I want to know is when I was at your dinner, you all got up and left,” the 53-year-old Melrose Place alum asked. “Were people doing coke in your bathroom?”
The query created a room full of jaw-dropped Housewives — especially Kemsley, who quickly denied the accusation in the first minutes of Tuesday’s all-new episode.
“I certainly wasn’t,...

Ever since 1977 when A New Hope premiered in theaters Stormtroopers have been a mainstay in the Star Wars Universe. This group of soldiers has inspired thousands if not millions of people around the world to wear the suit with pride. Without a doubt Stormtroopers have also provided some of the best comic relief throughout the Star Wars Saga. The popularity of Stormtroopers have increased especially with A-List celebrities like Daniel Craign donning the costume in The Force Awakens.
