Donald Trump has a freaky theory on why the Oscars mix-up happened

Although it’s probably one of the most talked-about events of the year, it seems fewer and fewer people actually watched the Oscars as it happened – and instead followed the proceedings online. “I knew I would screw this up”, said Kimmel, a first-time host. This year she is up for Best Actress for her performance in Florence Foster Jenkins.

The film swept every award leading up to the Oscars where it won a record 14 nominations tying the record set by “Titanic” and “All About Eve”.

The mix-up that saw presenters announce La La Land as the victor of the Best Picture award instead of the correct victor, Moonlight, has been blamed on the Academy Awards’ accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.

“It’s pretty exciting. I’ve only been once before”.

“Flesh and blood actors are migrant workers”, she said. “My absence is out of respect for the people of my country and those of other six nations who have been disrespected by the inhumane law that bans entry of immigrants to the U.S”. “Denzel Washington is one of the people who taught me how to act and I’ve never met the man”. Its songs and dances are good, and Stone, who won the Best Actress trophy, is a radiant stealer-of-hearts.

In an interview with hard-right website Breitbart News in the Oval Office, Trump took aim at the awards ceremony, which featured a healthy dose of jibes at his expense from host Jimmy Kimmel. It begins at 0130 GMT Monday.

You can’t escape Donald Trump…

Oscars weekend started with an anti-Trump rally organized by the United Talent Agency in Beverly Hills, which featured speakers including Jodie Foster and Michael J. Fox.

Director Alex Gibney’s exposé about the Church of Scientology, “Going Clear”, received widespread praise in 2015 and won best documentary at the Emmys and from the Writers Guild of America.

So while Hollywood conspiracy theorists can bitch and moan all they want, the chaotic finale of Sunday’s snoozy Oscar ceremony has transformed the telecast into one of the best, most viral videos ever.

Meanwhile, according to a report in CNN, the “Hamilton” actor Brandon Victor Dixon, who addressed Mike Pence from the stage, shortly after the presidential election, said that he expects politics to play a role in the acceptance speeches of this year’s Oscar winners.

Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal, who presented the Oscar for Best Animated Film, criticised Trump’s plan for a wall on the USA border with Mexico.

Let’s hope, in that case, that Moonlight isn’t just remembered as that film that won in that year the Oscars messed up and spoiled La La Land’s party. Best actor was won by Casey Affleck, star of “Manchester By the Sea”, and best supporting actress by Viola Davis for “Fences”.

Actress and singer Janelle Monae chose to show off her jewelry during the 89th Academy Awards in Hollywood.

Up until that ignominious end, the stars succeeded in making the Oscars a powerful anti-Trump, pro-left show as they walked the red carpet wearing blue pro-ACLU ribbons, or as they presented awards or accepted awards.

Director Ava DuVernay, whose film “13th” about mass incarceration was nominated for best documentary, posted a picture of herself on social media holding a sweater with the name Trayvon, in memory of Trayvon Martin, the teenager gunned down in 2012. “He just wanted to tell a story”, he said.
