Jimmy Kimmel had a lot to say in his opening monologue at the 96th Academy Awards — and much of it was at the expense of Robert Downey Jr.

“This is the highest point of Robert Downey Jr.’s long and illustrious career —well, one of the highest points,” Kimmel joked.
In the audience, Downey gestured toward his own nose in reply.
