Jimmy Kimmel, the Oscars host himself, and other late-night personalities discussed everything from Frances McDormand's award being stolen to Harvey Weinstein's absence.
00:00We had a long night last night. The Oscars actually just wrapped up about 10 minutes ago and I came over here.
00:06On Monday, late night hosts weighed in on Sunday night's 90th Academy Awards, which was hosted on ABC by the network's Jimmy Kimmel.
00:13On Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host recapped emceeing the monster production and revealed a few behind-the-scenes details.
00:19Unbeknownst to Kimmel, his mom spent the weekend making glitter-covered Oscar-shaped cookies.
00:24She then packed the cookies in disposable Tupperware boxes and smuggled them into the show, Kimmel said.
00:29Adding that she passed them out to various guests.
00:32She gave Steven Spielberg a cookie and he ate it. Even when you're 50 years old and hosting the Academy Awards, you can still be embarrassed by mommy.
00:39Kimmel also addressed the theft of Frances McDormand's Best Actress Oscar, which she won for her performance in Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.
00:47The perpetrator was caught and arrested on suspicion of felony theft and received this advice from Kimmel.
00:52I would rather steal from Mike Tyson than Frances McDormand. She'll beat your ass.
00:56Over on CBS's Late Show, Stephen Colbert gave Kimmel his theoretical congratulations, since he admitted he wasn't able to watch or attend the Oscars.
01:04Harvey Weinstein, of course, also wasn't present, and as a result, Colbert said everyone could breathe easier.
01:09Without Weinstein, the biggest threat there was getting nailed by Armie Hammer's hot dog cannon, which I think is also the plot of Call Me By Your Name.
01:17The CBS host also congratulated various winners, such as Jordan Peele and Allison Janney, but said he was disappointed Greta Gerwig didn't win for her directorial debut.
01:26Colbert also pointed out the gender disparities among those who did score an Oscar.
01:30Of the 24 awards, women only won six. Did the women blow all their lady points on the first female Colonel Sanders this year?
01:37Later on The Late Late Show, James Corden also relayed his congratulations to not only the host, but The Shape of Water's Guillermo del Toro for his best director and best picture wins, calling the film...
01:47The best movie about a woman falling in love with a fish monster while working in a government facility that has ever been made.
01:56And like Kimmel, Corden also addressed Frances McDormand's Oscar being stolen.
01:59The thief was stopped by Wolfgang Puck's photographer. And the weirdest part of this story is that Wolfgang Puck has a photographer.
02:07Comedy Central's The Daily Show host Trevor Noah revealed that his favorite moment from the night was when Jordan Peele won the award for best original screenplay.
02:14He also joked about the stolen Oscar and the man Terry Bryant, who was allegedly behind it.
02:19When we said we wanted black people to get more Oscars, this is not what we had in mind.
02:25The late-night hosts weren't the only ones with something to say and jokes to make about the Academy Awards.
02:30President Donald Trump had this to say in a tweet on Tuesday.
02:34Lowest-rated Oscars in history. Problem is, we don't have stars anymore. Except your president. Just kidding, of course.
02:41LOL. Tremendous LOL.
02:43Ratings for the telecast stumbled 19% from the previous year to 26.5 million viewers.
02:48That's easily the least-watched Oscars in history, trailing 2008 by more than 5 million.
02:53Jimmy Kimmel wasted no time in defending the ceremony. He has now hosted two years in a row responding to POTUS with this.
03:00Thanks, lowest-rated president in history.
