Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Senator Katie Britt at Oscars, Drawing Mixed Reactions
During the 96th Oscars ceremony, host Jimmy Kimmel targets Senator Katie Britt in a joke that drew mixed reactions from viewers. Kimmel likened Emma Stone‘s portrayal in ‘Poor Things‘ to the lady who gave the State of the Union rebuttal, referencing Britt’s recent criticism of President Biden’s policies.
Emma Stone, a five-time Oscar nominee, was humorously praised by Kimmel for her performance in ‘Poor Things.’ The host seamlessly transitioned to poking fun at Senator Britt, drawing a parallel between Stone’s character and the Republican senator.
Senator Katie Britt, who recently responded to President Biden’s address, faced humorous rebuke both at the Oscars and in a Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit. Scarlett Johansson parodied Britt’s speech, emphasizing her role in the kitchen and her wardrobe choices, entertaining SNL viewers.
Scarlett Johansson’s comedic portrayal highlighted various aspects of Katie Britt’s persona, from her outspoken political statements to her attire, including her iconic cross necklace. The skit comically referenced Britt’s stance on key issues such as the border crisis in a satirical manner.
Despite the jests, Senator Katie Britt remains a prominent figure in Alabama and the Republican party. Her swift rise to national attention after the 2022 midterms signals her growing influence in political circles, despite her relatively brief tenure in elected office.
