Jimmy Kimmel has been telegraphing how he's going to handle the infamous Oscars slap at this year's show -- and he's been doing it with a lot of morbid jokes and a promise to address the elephant in the room during the telecast.
He's said in interviews that he's going to"squeeze just a couple more drops out of it" and give a take that he thinks no one has heard yet.
Kimmel did note he doesn't plan on talking about it at length but says it's the elephant in the room and that it must be addressed.thing -- namely, AMPAS hiring a bunch of people to"deal" with any craziness that might go on -- JK says he isn't privy to it ... and knows nothing of the logistics of what they have planned or how they would implement him if things go south.
