The Oscars show was the most talked about topic on Monday, especially after the error announcing the best motion picture. But this will change because Jimmy Kimmel revealed what could’ve been a major Oscar’s catastrophe.

The late night show host had just walked away from the stage only a few moments before the incident.

“Someone easily could’ve been crushed,” he confessed. “The envelope mixup for Best Picture was a distant second in the disaster category,” Jimmy told the audience at his show.

Jimmy poked fun at the incident, saying that he could’ve been the first Oscars presenter to be part of the Memoriam section of the show on the same night.
