And the 90th Academy Awards are underway. 

Host for the second consecutive year, Jimmy Kimmel gets last year's envelope mix-up out of the way with the mandatory jokes, "This year, when you hear your name called, don't get up right away. Give us a minute."

"Oscar is still number one. Oscar is the most respected man. Keeps his hands where you can see them and no p*** at all. He is literally the statue of liberty." 

The Harvey Weinstein digs are quick to follow followed by a nod to Black Panther and Wonder Woman's success underlining this year's gender and race inclusive theme.
