Jimmy Kimmel may not have been hosting the 2026 Oscars — he even joked about just that, quipping that Conan O’Brien “went outside to get some air and inadvertently exposed his face to the sun and was incinerated” — but he made sure to get a point across while presenting Documentary Short. (All the Empty Rooms won.)

“We hear a lot about —” Kimmel began but had to start and stop more than once due to the loud applause in the room at the Academy Awards. “We hear a great deal. … They’re gonna cut down on your tickets for next year. We hear a lot about courage at shows like this, but telling a story that could get you killed for telling it is real courage.”
