Jimmy Kimmel delivers a slap-free Oscars

TV critic Robert Lloyd writes that in the case of the Oscars, it was as if the room were breathing a collective sigh of relief now that the movies have proved themselves not entirely dead.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  Entertainment March 13, 2023 Jimmy Kimmel delivers an uncontroversial, slap-free Oscars As host, Jimmy Kimmel was tasked with shepherding along an innocuous show, free of physical controversy, and he largely succeeded.

Daily Skimm: I got bored one day, then I put everything in a bagel

Skimm'd while getting the 411 on thyroid disease — Check out what we Skimm'd for you today

March 13, 2023 Subscribe Read in browser Daily Skimm Together with Skimm'd while getting the 411 on thyroid disease "You will be awarded the Oscar for best actor" — Jimmy Kimmel, on what would happen if anyone got violent at this year's awards show. He is Legend. Top Story Make It Make Cents The Story SVB has people saying WTF.  Tell me everything. Strap in, this is going to be a bumpy Monday. On Friday, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed and regulators took over. SVB, the nation's 16th-largest bank, has clientele including venture capital firms and startups. For a bit, deposits into the bank skyrocketed — up to nearly $200 billion in early 2022. Just like with any bank, the cash doesn't just sit there waiting for its owner: it gets moved around (think: as loans for people or businesses who need them or as investments). Back when interest rates were low, SVB invested in US Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). But that turned out to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad mistake.  I'm on the edge of my seat.  We all know the economy hasn't been in the best place recently. Tech companies have been struggling (cue the layoffs) and many had to dip into their accounts to pay their bills. SVB didn't have enough cash on hand for all the demand (remember that big investment we talked about earlier?). So it had the idea to sell bonds to help fund the withdrawals. SVB lost $1.8 billion in the sale and before it could even catch up, venture capital firms dipped out. Then SVB's stock plunged by 60% and its customers made a bank run (getting $42 billion worth out) before it all imploded. With SVB in the red, financial regulators took over and shut it down. Some companies feared they wouldn't make payroll. Experts even claimed this could be the end of some startups. What's happening now? After a long weekend of 'will they or won't they,' the Fed, Treasury Dept, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) came through (kind of). But not until a second bank, Signature Bank, also failed. Starting today, customers of SVB and Signature Bank will be able to access their deposits in full. Both banks have shut down. In a joint statement, the federal agencies promised taxpayers wouldn't be responsible for any "losses associated with the resolution" of the bank. The Fed will also create a special loan program that protects other institutions from the fallout.  theSkimm SVB's collapse is the second-biggest bank failure since Washington Mutual crumbled in 2008. The startup world has lost a once-trusty sidekick, and public confidence in the private banking sector has tumbled. Despite the Biden admin's hail mary, the ripple effects of this crisis are just starting to take form.

Last night, the film picked up seven awards at the Oscars — including for best picture and best director. The actors in the film didn't go empty-handed. Ke Huy Quan won best supporting actor. Jamie Lee Curtis won her first Oscar. And Michelle Yeoh made history, becoming the first Asian best actress winner. Who else made history? Ruth E Carter became the first Black woman to win two Oscars — both for best costume design in the "Black Panther" films. "Navalny" won the Oscar for best documentary feature. Brendan Fraser sealed his comeback, winning best actor for "The Whale." It was also a night that was "All Quiet on the Western Front," which took home four awards.

It comes as the Southern California coastal region has seen a 771% increase in human trafficking since 2017, according to the commander of the Coast Guard's San Diego area.
