"We know this is a special night for you. Jimmy Kimmel jokes about Will Smith slap at Oscar

We want you to have fun. We want you to feel safe. And most importantly, we want me to feel safe," Kimmel, 55, began on Sunday night. "So, we have strict policies in place. If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point during the show, you will be awarded the Oscar for Best Actor and permitted to give a 19-minute-long speech." #jimmykimmel

Continuing, Kimmel took a moment to jokingly call out those who were present last year when the slap went down. "Seriously, The Academy has a crisis team in place. If anything, unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony. Just do what you did last year: nothing," he said. "Sit there and do absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug."
