Jimmy Kimmel came on stage with a donkey at the 95th Oscars

Comedian Kimmel came to the participants with a donkey, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

Saying that the donkey is a star of the movie Banshees of Inisherin, Kimmel said, "He is not only an actor, but also a certified emotional support donkey." 

Some websites in the US press wrote that the donkey was not actually the animal featured in the movie in question.

USA Today wrote, "Wondering who that donkey is on Sunday night's Academy Awards broadcast? It's not actually Jenny the miniature donkey, but a cute donkey paying homage to her."
