Jimmy Kimmel calls out Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie Oscar snubs in opening monologue

Jimmy Kimmel opened the Academy Awards by inserting himself into a scene from “Barbie” and addressed the summer sensation immediately in his opening monologue.

He noted that the movie, written and directed by Greta Gerwig – who was passed over for a Best Director nomination – turned Barbie from a doll “nobody even liked anymore” into a “feminist icon.”

“Now Barbie is a feminist icon thanks to Great Gerwig, who many believe should have been nominated for best director,” he said.

When the audience responded with raucous applause, he held up a hand.

“Hang on a second,” said Kimmel. “I know you’re clapping, but you’re the ones who didn’t vote for her, by the way. Don’t act like you had nothing to do with it.”
