Jimmy Kimmel parachuted onto the stage Sunday night to present his opening monologue for the 95th annual Academy Awards.

After slew of jokes about this year's nominees, Kimmel addressed the elephant in the room from last year — the infamous slap of Chris Rock by Will Smith.

"We want to have fun. We want you to feel safe," he said. "And most importantly, we want me to feel safe. So we have strict policies in place. If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point during the show. You will be awarded the Oscar for best actor and you're permitted to give a 19 minute long speech."

After pausing for laughs, Kimmel added that the Academy does have a crisis team in place for the ceremony. The team is prepared for a number of scenarios that could arise during the telecast.

Kimmel closed out the announcement, telling attendees that "if anything unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just do what you did last year. Nothing. Just sit there and do absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug."

And the winner is... "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio"

Also nominated:

"Marcel the Shell with Shoes On"
"Puss in Boots: The Last Wish"
"The Sea Beast"
"Turning Red"

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel made an insider-y joke about the financial mess at Warner Bros. Discovery inherited by CEO David Zaslav. Kimmel referred to Batgirl as "the only superhero to be defeated by an accounting department," a dig at how WBD decided to kill the DC flick to save on taxes.

Legendary composer John Williams has broken his own record for most Oscar nominations earned by a living person.

The maestro earned his 53rd nomination this year, this time for his work on "The Fablemans." Williams is just behind the late Walt Disney, who had 59 Oscar nominations, for the most Academy Award nominations of all time.

Williams received his first Oscar nomination for 1967′s "Valley of the Dolls" and his first win for 1971′s "Fiddler On the Roof."

Throughout his career, Williams has created some of the most iconic scores in cinematic history. He is responsible for the panic-inducing "Jaws" theme, the haunting soundtrack to "Schindler's List" and the heroic "Superman" theme.

He's also the mastermind behind the music of such blockbusters as "Star Wars," "Indiana Jones," "Harry Potter" and "ET: The Extra-Terrestrial."

In addition to "Fiddler," for which Williams won for adapted score, he has received the golden trophy for "Jaws," "Star Wars," "ET: The Extra-Terrestrial" and "Schindler's List."

If he wins, he will become the oldest Oscar winner in history at age 91.

Leonardo DiCaprio has appeared in 10 best picture nominees as well, while Robert DeNiro holds the record for actors with 11 films.

"Top Gun: Maverick" and "Elvis" were the films with some of the largest streaming audiences after their Oscar nominations were announced, according to data from Samba TV.

The sequel to the 1980s film started airing on Paramount Global's streaming service Paramount+ in late December, and drove the largest percentage of viewership of a film post-nomination, with "Elvis" trailing behind on Warner Bros. Discovery's HBO Max. These were also the most viewed films in the last week. Samba TV analyzes data from a national panel of more than 25 million connected TVs and devices in the U.S., which measures both traditional and streaming TV consumption.

However, "The Fabelmans" nabbed a larger audience in Los Angeles and its surrounding area, while the "Top Gun" sequel under-indexed in the same area, Samba TV found.

"The preferred choice of audiences in Los Angeles, a top DMA where many Academy voters reside, however, was 'The Fabelmans' perhaps illustrating an intriguing disconnect between those who comprise the Academy and the majority of the country," said Cole Strain, vice president of measurement products at Samba TV, in a statement. "If Academy voters have their way, we might see another Steven Spielberg win, as Los Angeles seems to have embraced 'The Fabelmans' by the widest margin of all the contenders."

If you could see one of the Oscar-nominated films turned into a K-drama, which would it be?

Rakuten Viki, the streaming service with the largest collection of Asian content, recently asked its social media followers to weigh in on this, and other questions. As there's been a rise in popularity of Korean film and TV shows – especially since especially since the success of Netflix's "Squid Games" – more and more U.S.-based content is being reimagined for Korean dramas and actors.

The survey showed about 50% of respondents wanted to see Steven Spielberg direct a K-drama, and actors like Colin Farrell and Cate Blanchett star in such films. More than 50% of the respondents also said if they had it their way, they'd see the latest "Avatar" installment remade into a Korean film. Here's the breakdown of the responses for the social media poll:

• Which Oscar-nominated actor/actress would you like to see star in a K-drama? Colin Farrell - 23% Cate Blanchett - 25% Austin Butler - 31% Ana de Armas - 21%
• Which Oscar-nominated film would you want to see remade into a K-drama? The Banshees of Inisherin - 19% Elvis - 19% Tár - 7% Avatar: The Way of Water - 55%
• If you had to choose an Oscar-nominated director to direct a K-drama, who would you choose? Steven Spielberg - 50% Todd Field - 8% Martin McDonagh - 18% Daniel Kwan - 24%
• If you could give an Oscar to any of the below K-dramas on Rakuten Viki, which would it be?  Reborn Rich - 31% Love in Contract - 11% True Beauty - 41% Sh**ting Stars - 16%

Ratings for the annual Academy Awards has been on a precipitous decline since 2000, when the audience averaged more than 46 million people. Last year, an average of nearly 17 million tuned in, and those ratings got a bump after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.

This year's show will be hosted by TV late night personality Jimmy Kimmel, and could see a boost from curious viewers with last year's surprise on their minds.. Still, it will be hard to see ratings return to what they once were.

Ratings have dropped about 60% since 2000 as consumers continuously opt to cut the cord in favor of streaming services. While live sports – namely the Super Bowl, which averaged 113 million viewers in past February – still draw large audiences, viewership for live awards shows like the Academy Awards continues to drop.
