Jimmy Kimmel kept the Oscars full of jokes and the attendees full of snacks.
The four-time Oscar host hosted gift boxes of snacks to Hollywood’s biggest stars during the Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night — just as he did in 2023 and 2018.
This year, guests found select boxes — each emblazoned with a sticker of the late-night talk show host holding an Oscar trophy — under their seats in the Dolby Theatre. Inside was a soft pretzel from Shappy Pretzel Co. and mustard, a box of candy, a bottle of water and a note from Kimmel.

However, perhaps the sweetest gift in the box was the donation that the host of the Oscars gave to the Center of St. Joseph in order to “maintain the flow of karma”, the note says. The organization provides food, shelter and mental health resources for poor families and the homeless.
“No host = no snacks!” Kimmel’s business card also read, a reference to when the Oscars did not have a host in 2019, 2020 and 2021 (Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall hosted in 2022)
Kimmel’s previous snack boxes have featured similar treats and charitable donations. He donated to the Los Angeles Food Bank on behalf of the 2023 and 2018 participants.
On Sunday, Kimmel and his Jimmy Kimmel Live! the assistant, Guillermo Rodriguez, invited guests to wash down their bites with a shot of Don Julio tequila.
“I’m going to make a toast to everybody,” Rodriguez said during the segment. “I love everyone here and I love you, Jimmy. I love tequila and I love my beautiful wife, Miss Charlize Theron. I love you. You are my angel.”
