Gavin Newsom Talks to Jimmy Kimmel About Obama's Prop 8 SCOTUS Brief: VIDEO

California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, the man who defied his state's same-sex marriage ban and began marrying gay couples in 2004, joined Jimmy Kimmel last night and as it usually does when Newsom is around, the topic of marriage equality came up.

Newsom applauded Obama for opposing Proposition 8 before the Supreme Court and for his evolution on the issue.

"The idea that within this period of ten years a President would actually use the words marriage equality and support same-sex marriage is an extraordinary thing. I couldn't be more proud of him and the progress this country has made on the issue."

Kimmel and Newsom also discussed the Republican amicus brief that was filed, and Newsome noted that "it tends to be mostly ex-politicians" who signed it but praised the two current congresspeople who signed it for their leadership."

In related news, the Oscars had its best ratings in three years:

A total of 40.3 million people watched in the US, providing a fillip for producers struggling to halt a slow but steady decline in viewers since 57.25 million tuned in to watch Titanic win 11 gongs in 1998.

MacFarlane's jokes about female nudity, domestic violence and Jews in Hollywood have led to vilification from commentators, but his "edgy" approach saw a 20% boost among viewers aged 18 to 34 and a dramatic 34% hike in male viewers in the same age range. Men aged 18 to 49 were up 18% for a show that has traditionally been more popular with women viewers. Overseas, it is estimated that up to a billion people watched at least part of the show, though there are no official figures.
