Not even an Oscar nomination can stop the "feud" between Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon. On Thursday night's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," the host discussed the Academy Award nominees, which were announced earlier that day. Kimmel's longtime friend and "rival" Damon received a nomination for his role in "The Martian," and Kimmel took his opportunity to poke fun at the actor.
"All jokes aside, it's so stupid that he got nominated," Kimmel said of Damon. "Like really? How much longer are we going to go on with this?"
Kimmel replayed the video of John Krasinski's reading of the Best Actor nominees, which included pictures of all the actors in the respective roles. However, when Krasinski called out the name of Damon, Kimmel replaced his picture with an unflattering shirtless picture of him.
This is the latest stunt in the so called "feud" between Kimmel and Damon, which dates back to the early days of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," as HNGN previously reported. When Kimmel's show first started 12 years ago, the host could not get that many big name guests, so at the conclusion of each episode, he would say "Apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time tonight."
