Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at Will Smith infamously slapping last year's Oscars host Chris Rock during his opening monologue at the 2023 Academy Awards.

"Five Irish actors are nominated tonight, which means the chances of a fight just went way up," Kimmel joked.

"We want you to have fun, feel safe and, most importantly, we want me to feel safe," Kimmel said. "So, we have strict policies in place. If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point during the show, you will be awarded the Oscar for best actor and permitted to give a 19-minute long speech."

"But seriously, the academy has a crisis team in place. If anything unpredictable or violent happens during the show, sit there and do absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug," Kimmel continued.

"And if any of you get mad at a joke and decide you want to get jiggy with it — it’s not going to be easy," he added.

At the 2022 Oscars Smith slapped Rock while he was presenting the best documentary feature category for making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head, which she shaved after an alopecia diagnosis. 

After slapping Rock, Smith screamed at him from his seat, "Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth!" Later on in the show, Smith won best actor for his performance in "King Richard." Smith resigned from the Academy a few days after the Oscars ceremony.

"I betrayed the trust of the Academy," he wrote in a statement. "I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken." 

A few days later the Academy announced it was revoking Smith's AMPAS membership and banned him from attending the Oscars ceremonies for 10 years.

Ke Huy Quan was seen hugging his former co-star Harrison Ford onstage at the Oscars on Sunday as Quan's film "Everything Everywhere All At Once" won Best Picture.

Ford presented the movie's cast and directors with the award and embraced Quan when he walked onstage. 

Quan jumped up and down in excitement before giving Ford a kiss on the cheek. The two had previously co-starred in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" producer Jonathan Wang gave high praise for the cast standing behind him as he accepted the award.

"This feels incredible," Wang said. "There is no movie without our brilliant and big-hearted cast and crew. But not just these beautiful souls here. Also up there, and in Little Tokyo, we see you. So this award is ours."

"It's intimidating speaking up here, let me tell you that. I never thought I would get to say this so I say it with one voice with all these people: Thank you to the Academy," he added.

The award was the seventh the film had won Sunday evening, as it also received awards for Actor in a Supporting Role, Actress in a Supporting Role, Original Screenplay, Film Editing, Directing and Actress in a Leading Role.

The movie was the most-nominated film of the year with 11 total nominations.
