Donald Trump: The reason of Oscars fiasco

The President tried to claim that the reason La La Land was initially announced as Best Picture (when Moonlight was the real winner) was because everybody was too focused on… Donald Trump.

Referring to host Jimmy Kimmel’s series of jokes at his expense, Trump said: ‘I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn’t get the act together at the end.

‘It didn’t feel like a very glamorous evening. I’ve been to the Oscars. There was something very special missing, and then to end that way was sad.’

Meanwhile, the rest of the world is pointing the finger of blame at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), who later took responsibility for mixing up the winners’ envelopes.

The accountancy firm is in charge of making sure the winners are kept secret right up until they’re announced – and this is done by keeping all of the cards, as well as backup cards, in identical briefcases.

When the evening’s final presenter Warren Beatty was making his way on stage, he was accidentally handed a backup envelope for Best Actress – which was won by Emma Stone for La La Land.

Given that Trump is Trump, though, he wasn’t too impressed by Kimmel’s humour.

During his opening monologue, Kimmel joked: ‘I want to say thank you to President Trump. Remember last year when they thought the Oscars were racist?’
