After a joyous opening musical number by Justin Timberlake performing Cant Stop the Feeling that brought the crowd to its feet, host Jimmy Kimmel took the stage at the 89th Annual Academy Awards and threw out one POTUS joke after another:
Kimmel also had this to say: I want to say thank you to President Trump. Remember last year when it seemed like the Oscars were racist? Its gone thanks to him.
