Bridges, who won the Oscar for best costume design for his work on _Phantom Thread_, said his approximately 36 second-long speech was actually supposed to be longer. “That was an accident!” Bridges [told Entertainment Tonight](http://www.etonline.com/oscars-jet-ski-winner-reacts-to-his-big-prize-exclusive-97630). “I really had things to say … I forgot a sentence and now look — I got me and Helen Miren on a jet ski and now I have a jet ski.” > [](https://twitter.com/jimmykimmel/status/970530960079953920) Kimmel had the jet ski brought out on stage early in the Oscars, explaining that it was an incentive for winners to keep their acceptance speeches short because “[this is a really long show](http://time.com/5183817/oscars-2018-best-worst-moments/?iid=sr-link3).” “Why waste precious time thanking your mom when you could be taking her for the ride of her life on a brand new jet ski?” Kimmel joked. The green [2018 Kawasaki Ultra 310LX](https://www.kawasaki.com/Products/2018-Jet-Ski-Ultra-310LX), which costs almost $18,000, was accompanied by none other than Helen Mirren, who showed off the jet ski in the style of _Wheel of Fortune’s_ Vanna White. But Mirren was “not included” with the jet ski, Kimmel said. Bridges did get to end the night with Mirren though — they rode the jet ski onto the stage together after the award for Best Picture was given to Guillermo del Toro’s _The Shape of Water._ Oscars Jet Ski Won By Phantom Thread Costume Designer ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5185611/oscars-jet-ski/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5185611/oscars-jet-ski/"},"headline":"This Costume Designer Won Jimmy Kimmel's Jet Ski at the Oscars","datePublished":"2018-03-05T12:43:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:51:05.690Z","description":"Kimmel promised a jet ski for the winner with the shortest acceptance speech","url":"https://time.com/5185611/oscars-jet-ski/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","onetime","Oscars 2018"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5179e62a8086f07e/698929970a4a220e069d1f9a/who-won-jet-ski-at-oscars.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alix Langone","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alix-langone/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5179e62a8086f07e/698929970a4a220e069d1f9a/who-won-jet-ski-at-oscars.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"who-won-jet-ski-at-oscars.jpg","caption":"90th Annual Academy Awards - Show","creditText":"Kevin Winter - Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5185611/oscars-jet-ski/","name":"This Costume Designer Won Jimmy Kimmel's Jet Ski at the Oscars"}}]}] ```
