We really didn’t think Jimmy Kimmel would go the entire Academy Awards without getting in a dig at Matt Damon, did we?
Right as the show was ending, it looked like Kimmel wouldn’t keep his ongoing fake feud with Damon alive in his fourth Oscar hosting stint.
In the amended words of Lee Corso, not so fast, my frenemy!
A brief gag closed the show right before the credits of Messi the dog from Anatomy of a Fall pretending to hoist his leg up to pee on Damon’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as Kimmel got in his annual roast.

Like, c’mon, that’s easily Kimmel’s best joke of the night!
Messi was one of the stars of the evening, and we’re so glad he got to play a part in helping Kimmel make fun of Damon to keep the tradition alive.
Now, Damon must retaliate with a Messi the dog gag of his own. It’s only what’s right.
