*"Jimmy Kimmel's mission impossible - Oscar host in midst of #MeToo. LOS
ANGELES (Reuters) - Jimmy Kimmel is in therapy. Last year’s Oscar best picture
blunder is giving the Academy Awards host nightmares - or so goes one of the
comedian’s video promotions for Sunday’s ceremony.
But the 2017 backstage envelope mix-up that saw the top prize in the movie
industry briefly being awarded to“La La Land” rather than actual
winner“Moonlight” may pale in relation to the task facing Kimmel when he
returns as Oscar master of ceremonies for a second year.
Kimmel must navigate the #MeToo sexual misconduct scandal that has rocked
Hollywood in front of a live audience of A-list celebrities, many of whom say they
are victims, as well as millions watching at home."
