Oscars 2023: Jimmy Kimmel asks Malala Yousafzai about Harry Styles

Oscars 2023: Jimmy Kimmel asks Malala Yousafzai about Harry Styles

As a presenter at the Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel is usually not too snappy. He’s nice to the stars and cheerfully makes small talk. But he is still criticized for asking a question to Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai.

If the Oscars had had Ricky Gervais present, the stars in the hall would certainly not have gotten off so lightly. Unlike the Brit, who is known for his sharp-tongued moderation, Jimmy Kimmel was mild as usual. Only one question for Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai was not well received by many viewers.

Oscars: Jimmy Kimmel asks Malala Yousafzai a weird question

Striding through the audience, he read questions from viewers. One was addressed to Malala. “Your commitment to human rights and the education of women and children is an inspiration – as the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history, do you think Harry Styles spat on Chris Pine?” Kimmel asked the 25-year-old. Background: At the Venice Film Festival, Styles appeared to spit in his co-star Chris Pine’s lap as he passed. In the meantime, both have clarified what really happened. Styles didn’t spit, just asked Pine a question.

For some viewers, Kimmel’s question to Yousafzai seemed inappropriate. “I love Jimmy Kimmel but his dealings with Malala was one of the worst and most painful things I have seen on TV in many years,” one user tweeted. “Jimmy Kimmel is a national disgrace. This woman deserves better,” said another. Yousaifzai himself responded in an extremely confident manner to the question about the Styles-Pine dispute. “I’m only talking about peace,” she said. She shared a video of the scene herself on Twitter and wrote: “Treat people with kindness.”

The peace activist gained notoriety after the Pakistani Taliban shot her in the face on her way to school in 2012. Malala, who now lives in England, has been campaigning for the rights of young girls in Pakistan since she was 12. She reported on the conditions under the Taliban on her blog. She survived the attack by the terrorist organization and has been fighting for human rights ever since.
