‘Jenny the donkey’ makes a surprise appearance
Introducing the costume design award, host Jimmy Kimmel brings on a surprise guest… a donkey claiming to be Jenny from The Banshees Of Inisherin.
The donkey, who comes to a very sad end in the Irish film, is wearing a red bow and an “emotional support” sign.
Kimmel jokes that telling the airline she was an emotional support animal was the only way to get her to the ceremony.
It’s unclear if it was the real Jenny coming out of retirement or an imposter… who knows?
