One of Jimmy Kimmel's greatest gags is having celebrities read mean tweets about themselves. He brought this back last night with an Oscar-worthy "special movie star edition" featuring Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, George Clooney, Christoph Waltz, Patricia Arquette, Jessica Chastain, Eddie Redmayne, Kevin Costner, Emily Blunt, Zach Galifianakis, Kevin Hart, Richard Dreyfuss, Cate Blanchett, Seth Rogen, Oscar Isaac, and Taraji P. Henson. Ahead of the accolades they'll be receiving this weekend, watch their spirits get crushed. (JK, the famous people don't care what you say about them on your little social media platform.)
Kimmel gets results: Sarandon's mean tweeter has responded with a change of tune...
@SusanSarandon apparently 8 years ago your boobs were causing me grief. I have and always will ❤️ you. #Kimmel #idowish #getthemoutofmyface
