During the Academy Awards ceremony, host Jimmy Kimmel took a moment in his Oscars intro monologue to mock Senator Katie Britt's response to the State of the Union address. Kimmel referenced Britt's rebuttal, comparing her to Emma Stone's character in the film 'Poor Things,' who is depicted as an adult woman with the mentality of a child. This joke was part of Kimmel's routine, which some critics have described as a continuation of his practice of making political jabs, particularly against Republicans. The comment sparked a range of reactions on social media, with some users highlighting the controversial aspects of Britt's rebuttal speech, including her dramatic actions such as ripping up Biden’s speech, cursing on live TV, stopping for a drink of water, freezing multiple times, and making an inappropriate remark about Trump.
