Watch: Host Jimmy Kimmel’s Barbie Oscars Promo Video ‘OscarsLand’

“To the Oscars, man!” The 2024 Academy Awards are coming up in one month from now, the end of the 2023 awards season. The Academy hosted their annual Oscar Luncheon featuring all the nominees together for a photo and plenty of chit chat. To begin the countdown, The Academy and ABC have also released a fun promo video featuring host Jimmy Kimmel and some special guests. It’s an impressive riff on Barbie, as Jimmy “Ken” Kimmel meets up with Weird Barbie, played by Kate McKinnon reprising her role, and goes off on a voyage to get safely to “OscarsLand”. Along the way they recap the Best Picture noms – American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Past Lives, Poor Things, The Zone of Interest – and they also encounter Bella Baxter (+ Godwin), America Ferrera, and Ryan Gosling in a Kenough sweater. This has to be one of the best Oscar promo videos in years, they actually get in some solid jokes and it’s not too cheesy or dumb. Nice work! More of this humor, please. // Continue Reading ›
