As Jimmy Kimmel prepares to host the Oscars on Sunday, he got candid on whether audiences can expect politically-fueledspeeches this year.

It depends on the speech, you know? he told The Hollywood Reporter. I think that youve got a group of people who are largely very liberal, although I will say, the first time I hosted the Emmys, I had a joke about there being no Republicans in the room, and a surprisingly big group of people clapped when I asked if there were Republicans, and I was a little bit thrown by it.

So I dont think the audience in its entirety is as liberal as people in Middle America imagine it is, added the 49-year-old TV host. But the celebrities, most of them are pretty liberal.

However, Kimmel said that Democrats in Hollywood may have a hard time outshining one leading lady with their speeches.

If I was nominated and I was going to stand on that stage, I think Id be intimidated by how good Meryl Streeps [Golden Globes] speech was, so Id probably keep my mouth shut when it comes down to it, he said.
