Jimmy Kimmel mocks Katie Britt in scathing monologue at the 2024 Oscars | hollywood

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, featured a dose of political satire and celebrity reactions. During her monologue, Kimmel mocked Alabama Sen. Katie Britt’s rebuttal to her President Biden’s State of the Union address, comparing her to Emma Stone’s character in his movie Poor Things..

“Emma played a grown woman with a child’s brain, like the lady who rebutted the State of the Union on Thursday night,” the 56-year-old comedian said. This statement was a criticism of Britt’s recent stance regarding her political stances, particularly on the border crisis and economic challenges.

Kimmel’s statement received criticism online, with one X (formerly Twitter) user joking, “Kimmel used to be funny.” Another user said: “Only Democrats can be dramatic…”

Kimmel’s joke about Stone’s film generated a reaction from the actress. Lip readers interpreted her comment as a derogatory comment and said, “He’s a whore.” Another user commented: “The only thing Jimmy did was insult everyone” on X (formerly Twitter).

Actress Scarlett Johansson also parodied Britt on “Saturday Night Live,” mocking her stance on various issues and her attempt to appeal to female voters. She played Britt and said, “You see, I’m not just a senator. “I’m a wife, mother, and the craziest bitch in the Target parking lot.”

Despite the criticism, Britt doubled down on his rebuke of Biden’s leadership, particularly regarding the border crisis and rising consumer costs.

“You think about the parents whose children have died from fentanyl poisoning. Enough is enough and the president must take responsibility,” the senator said Friday during an appearance on Fox & Friends.

“He knows how to do this. “President Trump laid out a roadmap for how to secure our border and make our country safer, but he refuses to do it.”

Britt, who had never held elected office before his election in the 2022 midterms, continues to build a national profile.
