Unless you've been living under a rock for the past dozen years, you'll be aware that Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon have had a long-standing joke-feud, which started in 2005 when Kimmel started cutting Damon's segments for time, causing Damon to team with Kimmel's ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman to create the iconic song "I'm F*****g Matt Damon" (which Kimmel responded with, "I'm F***ing Ben Affleck").

The feud resurfaced again at the Oscars, as following the military tribute montage, the host said, "On behalf of the Academy, I want to apologise to our brave U.S. military men and women here and overseas for including Matt Damon in that montage... You deserve better than that, you really do."

Kimmel also hurled in an additional barb at the very end of the broadcast, adding, "And apologies to Matt Damon... We ran out of time for him." Brilliant.
