Ahead of hosting the ceremony, Kimmel told Deadline that he thinks he sees “more movies than almost anyone — not even just when I’m hosting the Oscars, but I figured it out. I think I see around 100 movies a year. I make a point to see all of the features, even the short films, the short animated, the animated — you know, everything.”
