 "The Jimmy Kimmel-Matt Damon war will continue at the Oscars, following last year's Emmy feud")
TV personality Jimmy Kimmel, who will be hosting the 89th Academy Awards on Sunday, has vowed to ‘keep his ’longtime frenemy’ and actor-producer Matt Damon offstage.’ [caption id=“attachment_3294592” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel at the Emmy awards 2016.

My goal is to keep him offstage,” Kimmel said. The two stars fake feud started during the third season of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2005 when Kimmel off-handedly ended a discouraging show by apologising to Damon, 46, for bumping him out of the show. Since then the pair have continued to pull pranks on each other with Kimmel spoofing Damon’s film The Martian.
