Get your popcorn popping and throw on your fanciest pajamas because Hollywood’s biggest night of the year is finally here!
The Academy Awards are always the talk of the town and the 2017 Oscars are sure to be no exception.
Jimmy Kimmel is set to host the evening’s ceremony for the first time in his career and he’s already given hints about what viewers can expect from him.
In fact, E! News recently caught up with the late-night talk show host where he admitted that he’s going to try his hardest to ensure that his longtime frenemy, Matt Damon, doesn’t steal his thunder.
It turns out that Damon co-produced the award-nominated drama Manchester By the Sea, so if the flick wins for Best Picture, well, the duo could have a situation on their hands.
“I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that he doesn’t win or doesn’t know that he won,” Kimmel shared. “My goal is to keep him offstage.”
We also got Damon’s side of things where he joked, “I don’t think I need to do anything to make his performance worse. He’s gonna be really terrible no matter what.” Oh, these two…we can’t wait to see what’s in store for them at the Dolby Theatre tonight.
But let’s focus our attention back at what’s arguably most important this evening—the winners!
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling‘s La La Land currently holds the lead with 14 nominations, while Amy Adams‘ Arrival ties in second place with Mahershala Ali‘s Moonlight with both earning eight nominations. Meanwhile, Lion and Manchester By the Sea both hold strong in third with six Oscar nominations each.
