One such reaction of Jimmy Kimmel has been circulating on social media. During the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC, the host was seen expressing outrage over his favorite film of the year, Spider-Man: No Way Home,being snubbed by the 94th Academy Awards.
While going on a rant during the episode, Kimmel was seen questioning the Academy voters for not picking Spider-Man: No Way Home as a nominee in the Best Picture category. The video of the episode has since been posted on the show’s official YouTube channel, and is receiving a lot of support from fans of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
