I lost it at that part 😂

Maybe not that America, but . . .

[@Purplequeen18]

I loved that part

I DIED when it cut back to Spielberg 💀🤣😂

[@RebeccaEWebber]

That was so cute!

[@jvrbwn6232]

You mean Doctor Spielberg 😂

[@BryanCostner]

Spielberg should win an Oscar for that expression 😂

[@JoshuaN55]

Me too!!!😂😂😂

[@SteveG1007]

Spielberg's facial expression is the best thing that happened this entire night I swear to god

[@thecedex]

Maybe Spielberg can win another Oscar in a comedic performance 😂

[@gf8qu]

Better than the entire movie of Barbie

[@BryanCostner]

Spielberg should win an Oscar for that expression 😂

[@gabrielabeltran2812]

"Dr. Spielberg, sr...."

[@mindonthingsabove]

That's my fav line in the whole thing. but it was so well done, I'll probably refer to it for a few years.

[@desiv1170]

Did not expect that cut back to Spielberg... Nice! ;-)

[@allanpluger5350]

I really loved how this year they turned to elegant sort of "classy" non-offensive humor. The Spielberg bit is just insanely funny. It really raised back the prestige of the event to have this kind of humor back. Bravo!

[@craigrfoley]

Yeah when John Cena came out naked it was really high brow

Kimmel doubling down on the RDJ drugs jokes wasn't the classiest moment.

To this day. No dinosaur documentary was Oscar nominated

Snubasaurus

[@jakenight5147]

Godzilla Minus One

[@piyushsahurkar9362]

What about Walking with Dinosaurs ??

[@angelusthor251]

Jurassic Park 1 deserved one but oh well 😢

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

There are no dinosaur members of the Academy. Think about that!

[@dayo8843]

America Ferrera looks STUNNING 🤩

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Killer curves in corsetted dress with pink sequins,... Must be in the running for best dressed, elegance and glamour.

[@anamhirrodriquez2193]

The cut to Spielberg 😂

Um, it's _DR._ Spielberg

LOL! From?

I second your motion! I’m not a fan of the current host.

I like it, Linda.

[@thomasappelby1202]

I love Stephen Spielberg. His facial expression is hilarious.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

I absolutely love Kate McKinnon!

[@AA-qb7ni]

I really loved the show this year. It was entertaining, the right people won and I loved the way the awards were presented :)

[@celinesantoyo4594]

NOT THE CUT TO SPIELBERG!! OMFG IM DEAD

[@believer9443]

America Ferrera ❤
Her character Amy Sosa from Superstore inspired me in my job, I am fascinated by her and her work ever since... So glad she got her due with a movie like Barbie and a night like this one 🎉

[@s2Capacidade2s]

Superstore is the most underrated sitcom ever

[@r.harishkumar3560]

Doctor Spielberg Sir, Is this true :D lol

[@stayaway7859]

Love Kate

[@arielturcios1717]

This segment was probably directed by Speilberg.... After I am Ken, the best thing yesterday

[@seangates900]

This was an amazingly layered piece. "Oh America, not you too," followed by the Dr. Spielberg mixup.

[@KCNwokoye]

This was so so good. Wow!

[@BFG-hv2ml]

Not gonna lie, this was funny as hell.

[@Wulfman317]

Listen lady! You call him Dr. Spielberg!

[@christopherporter2459]

And she did! As she should! He is a true testament to doctoring and the art of arting!

[@tamrasmith1744]

One of the best parts of the show.

[@astray401]

I saw Animaniac cartoon on Spielberg's face expression... so gold.

[@Carousel5883]

Omg so true

[@LegoPostPresidency]

Spielberg! 😂😂😂😂

[@Carousel5883]

Dr Spielberg

[@lexi6693]

haha kate never fails to make me laugh

[@JBaxter-pi8oj]

These two did a spectacular job. The cast of Barbie certainly brought the Oscars to life! Finally, something to make us all laugh and feel hope and connection. How refreshing!

[@PeaceBang]

Why don't they ask Kate McKinnon to host the Oscars, for heaven's sake!!?

[@Lastielion]

You could probably place a bet now that she will next year and have fairly good odds! If Jimmy doesn't want to come back, she's a really good pick!

[@hupotasso4705]

They should, but if it’s not Kimmel, I think they’ll go with John Mulaney

[@emrecck]

We love Kate! 😂

[@Carousel5883]

Omg I superlove Steven Spielberg..He's my all time superdupermega crush..he's the last of the magical legend after MJ..can keep sending him back to the 80s and back again

[@christopherporter2459]

MJ meaning Michael Jackson? If so I truly concur. They are both truly legends. What Spielberg did with E.T. was nothing short of iconic and an absolute best as far as film making goes. Sorry to keep rambling, but if you have time, please do yourself a favor and check out the video of Drew Barrymore getting a happy birthday surprise by "the only person who really cared for her". I think you may know who I'm talking about. It's a beautiful video. ♥️😁

[@LeigoMusical]

Kate is the best!

[@dreadedkitty980]

She is awesome.

[@maxleatherman]

It was a fun show. Entertaining, diverse talented people won and peaceful.. great kate n Amy

Best bit of the Oscars.

[@arpud]

next oscar host should be the whole cast of SNL

[@christopherporter2459]

Kate McKinnon: "My God, Dr. Spielberg, sir... Is this true?"
*Steven Spielberg nods* 😂😂😂
Also - Kate McKinnon: "Jeff Goldblum is real right?"
America Ferrera: "No."
Kate: "Then to who have i been sending my tasteful nudes?"
Camera Cuts to Spielberg - *Points to himself*
Oh, you lucky man. 😂😉♥️
Awesome.

[@frozenlake1215]

Funny thing is, Spielberg did receive an honorary degree from Yale in 2002, so he technically is Dr. Spielberg

[@michaelburgos5403]

Every time I see Spielberg’s face expressions, reminds when of some episode of Animaniacs back in the 90s . 😅
Now I’ve gotta try to find it ! 😂

[@hmfrias]

Kate “Jeff Goldblum is real right?” ….. America “no” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@user-lb1ye1pv4q]

They also need to realize that the movie "Junior" was not a documentary.

[@emiliobello2538]

I was hoping the kids from Percy Jackson would have presented

[@christianurena510]

One of the best moments on TV this year

[@giotto1006]
