Best Supporting Actor award is the first award of the night. Who is it going to be?
In his opening monologue, Jimmy Kimmel addresses the elephant in the room and finally mentions Harvey Weinstein's name- a first this award season. Till now, no other award ceremony has mentioned his name at the ceremony although each of the awards have addressed the Me Too and Times Up movement.

And it begins! Host Jimmy Kimmel takes the stage for the second time in a row, and we aren't complaining.
