Jimmy Kimmelkept the Oscars full of jokes and its attendees full of snacks.
The four-timeAcademy Awardshost gifted snack boxes to Hollywood’s biggest stars during the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night — just as he had done in 2023 and 2018.
Each attendee got treated to a different candy, but Mike and Ike and Milk Duds were some of the sweets offered.

Perhaps the sweetest gift in the box though was the donation that the Oscars host made toSt. Joseph Centerto “keep the karma flowing,” according to the note. The organization provides food, housing and mental health resources for poor families and homeless people.
“No host = no snacks!” Kimmel’s card also read, reference when the Oscars did not have a host in 2019, 2020 and 2021. (Amy Schumer,Wanda SykesandRegina Hallhosted in 2022.)
Kimmel’sprevious snack boxescontained similar goodies and charitable donations. He donated to the Los Angeles Food Bank on behalf of the attendees in 2023 and in 2018.
On Sunday, Kimmel and hisJimmy Kimmel Live!sidekick,Guillermo Rodriguez, invited guests to wash their snacks down with a shot of Don Julio tequila.
“I’m going to toast everybody,” Rodriguez said during the bit. “I love everyone here, and I love you, Jimmy. I love tequila, and I love my beautiful wife, MissCharlize Theron. I love you. You’re my angel.”
During the show, first-time winners gave emotional and exciting speeches, like afterThe Holdovers’Da’Vine Joy RandolphBest Supporting Actress win andRobert Downey Jr.’sBest Supporting Actor winfor his role inOppenheimer.
