According to Kimmel, part of the difficulty of hosting the Oscars comes from speaking about movies that his audience hasn’t seen. In 2017, he made a joke about Moonlight that highlighted the lack of familiarity among the audience with the movie, even though it won best picture. Despite this challenge, Kimmel was convinced to host the Oscars again.
Kimmel’s decision to host the Oscars was influenced by his experience watching Barbie in a movie theater.
