Fans are analyzing what Emma Stone may have said after Jimmy Kimmel‘s joke about her film Poor Things at the 2024 Oscars.
“Those were all the parts of Poor Things that we’re allowed to show on TV,” Kimmel, 56, quipped in his opening monologue, alluding to the numerous sex scenes in Poor Things, which Stone, 35, starred in and was an executive producer on.
Mark Ruffalo, who costarred in the movie, laughed at the joke, while Stone was caught rolling her eyes before turning to her husband, Dave McCary, to mouth a phrase. In response to the viral moment, viewers quickly took to social media to decipher what Stone may have said about Kimmel.
The general consensus initially was that Stone mouthed “Oh my God.” However, others have since questioned whether Stone was a bit more upset by Kimmel’s dig at Poor Things.

Another social media user applauded Stone for openly showing her disappointment, writing, “Emma stone’s reaction to jimmy kimmel’s joke about poor things clips they can show on tv is priceless. she knows how cheap that was.”
Stone is nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance as Bella Baxter in Poor Things. Her fans continued to defend her movie — and her candid response.
“F—k the oscars f—k jimmy kimmel thank you so much for your insinuation that poor things is all about sex and not the entire story of a woman rejecting societal onuses and standing for justice and equality,” a third user wrote via X. “Emma stone you deserve sm better.”

Poor Things, which was released in 2023, focuses on a young woman in Victorian London who is resurrected via a brain transplant. Bella subsequently embarks on a trip of self-discovery, which includes owning her sexual awakening.
“Bella is completely free and without shame about her body,” Stone told BBC Radio 4’s Front Row in January. “[Sex] is obviously a huge part of her experience and her growth, as it is, I think, for most people in life.”
Despite not being a person “that just wants to be naked” all the time, Stone said she wanted to “honor” Bella properly.

“So much of this was about being true to Bella’s experience,” she continued. “She doesn’t know to be embarrassed by these things or to cover things up or not dive into the full experience when it comes to anything.”
Stone also reflected on the role after winning a Golden Globe for her performance.
“Playing Bella was unbelievable,” she said in her acceptance speech that same month. “I think this is a rom com, but in the sense of Bella falls in love with life itself. She accepts the good and the bad in equal measure and that really made me look at life differently. This means the world to me, thank you so much.”

- Jimmy Kimmel now thinks the US is gross after he visited the bathrooms in Japan.
- “We are like hogs compared to the Japanese,” Kimmel joked on Tuesday during his show.
- The late-night star said he recently took his family on a seven-day trip to Japan.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel said observing hygiene standards in Japan has drastically changed his perspective of cleanliness in the US, and joked that he’s “never felt dirtier” in his home country.
Kimmel said on Tuesday evening episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that before going to Japan on a seven-day family trip, he thought the US was “pretty buttoned-up” despite having areas for improvement.
“But now, after traveling to Japan, I realize that this place, this USA we’re always chanting about, is a filthy and disgusting country,” he said.
Kimmel said he was blown away, in particular, by Japan’s bathrooms.
“Not only did I not encounter a single dirty bathroom, the bathrooms in Tokyo and Kyoto are cleaner than our operating rooms here,” Kimmel said.
The TV star lauded the loos at Japanese truck stops, which he said were “cleaner than Jennifer Garner’s teeth.”
“It’s like the whole country is Disneyland, and we’re living at Six Flags. I’ve been home 36 hours. I’ve never felt dirtier,” he said.
Kimmel added that he was impressed by how Tokyo residents don’t litter despite the lack of public trash cans, which were removed by local authorities in the wake of the 1995 sarin gas attacks.
“They’re like, okay, no more trash cans. Everybody clean up after yourselves. And guess what? They clean up after themselves,” Kimmel said.
“We are like hogs compared to the Japanese. I can’t imagine what they must think of us,” Kimmel said. “Oh, the garbage people. Yes, the Americans. Garbage. Yes.”
Public bathrooms have become the source of tourist fascination in Japan, where toilets can come with automatic bidets, heated seats, sensors that take your pulse, and sound systems to mask the noise of flushing. In 2019, a Japanese toll operator installed public toilets on the Central Nippon Expressway that could measure driver fatigue.
Japan is typically known internationally for fostering a focus on cleanliness and hygiene. During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Japanese national team made headlines for cleaning their dressing room after beating Germany 2-1 in an upset.
At the same tournament, FIFA praised Japanese fans for tidying up the local stadium after watching their matches.
Kimmel is one of tens of millions to recently visited Japan on holiday. A weak yen is thought to be fueling a tourism boom there, with government statistics saying tourists spent about $35.9 billion in 2023.
Monthly visitor arrivals in Japan grew to 2.78 million in February, surpassing 2019 levels in what its tourism industry believes will be a continued, strong post-pandemic recovery.
