HOLLYWOOD’S most hilarious fake feud is set to continue at this year’s Oscars.

Jimmy Kimmel is hosting the Academy Awards this year and he can’t stomach the thought of his arch-nemesis, Matt Damon, winning for Manchester By The Sea.

“I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that he doesn’t win or doesn’t know that he has won,” Kimmel said about Damon, who produced the film, which is nominated for Best Picture.

“My goal is to keep him offstage,” the host said to The Hollywood Reporter.

The feud between the two Hollywood heavyweights dates back more than 10 years and most recently on display at last year’s Emmy Awards where Kimmel also hosted.

After the talk show host lost out to John Oliver for Best Variety Talk Series on the night, Damon strolled on stage eating an apple and interrupted the host.

Matt Damon interrupts Jimmy Kimmel onstage during the 68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

“Oh, I’m sorry, this is so humiliating, I mean you lost and now you have to stand out here in front of everybody when you probably just want to go home, curl up and cry,” Damon said to Kimmel much to the amusement of the star-filled audience.

“Can we cheer Jimmy up? He’s a big loser — a big round of applause. You’re a big loser, I for one am really sorry about that.”

As he walked off stage, the Jason Bourne star took one more jab at the host.

“Oh Jimmy — tell your mum I love dem apples.”
