Although Kimmel did a "fantastic" job at the Oscars, sections of fans were not happy with his comments on certain things, such as calling the Indian film 'RRR' a Bollywood film and bringing Jenny the Donkey on stage.

Kimmel also made a series of subtle references to last year's 'Slapgate' with Will Smith on awards night. On Instagram, he posted a clip from his speech at the Oscars that read, "Our next categories Documentary Feature which as you may recall, is where things went off the rails last year. Hopefully tonight it goes off without a hitch. Or at least without Hitch."
