Oscars 2018 host Jimmy Kimmel jokes about 2017 LaLa Land envelope gaffe in hilarious ‘nightmare’ sketch

OSCARS host Jimmy Kimmel has joked about last year’s winner’s mix up and said he “dreams about it every night”.

The mix up happened when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway wrongly named La La Land as the Best Picture winner over Moonlight.

Jimmy posted the hilarious comedy sketch on his Instagram profile just hours before the show starts tonight.

The video starts with Jimmy admitting he’s been dreaming about the mix up since it happened last year.

It then cuts to a video of him lying in bed before he suddenly jolts awake and shouts: “Moonlight”.

He then walks down the stairs and finds hundreds of letters being shoved through his front door.

The sketch then cuts to him sitting in a “therapist’s” chair which later turns out to be Warren’s home.

He explains: “I can't even open the mail because of all the envelopes...it just piles up.”

Afterwards he heads to a coffee shop and the mix up plays out again, with the barista repeatedly calling Jimmy, Timmy.

Jimmy then tells him: “Come on man, you gotta get the name right!”

The comedian is then seen burning his tuxedo from last year while telling the camera: “I tried to get past the past you know.

“I feel like I'm losing my mind, and the worst part is they want me to do it again. So what do I do?”
Warren then tells him: “I don't care what you do, just get out of my house.”

Jimmy responds: “I thought we were in this...[together],” before sliding off his chair.

This year’s major award shows have been dominated by the Times Up and #MeToo campaign and it will be prominent on the red carpet and inside the ceremony.

While the organisers have said that a black dress code is optional, many of the stars attending the ceremony will wear a pin to show their solidarity with survivors.

It’s also believed a segment of tonight’s show will pay tribute to those who bravely spoke out in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal that rocked Hollywood.
