“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be,” Trump began his post on Truth Social.
“Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.
“Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years – Disjointed, boring, and very unfair. Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them.
“Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
OSCAR WINNERS
Many beloved actors and films are taking home an award this evening.
The summer blockbuster Oppenheimer took home 7 awards including best cinematography, best original score, best film editing, and best picture.
Robert Downey Jr. won best supporting actor for his role in the film, while Cillian Murphy won best actor, Emily Blunt wont best supporting actress, and Christopher Nolan won best director.’
Other winners included Emma Stone who won best actress for her role in Poor Things, What Was I Made For? won best original Song for Barbie, and Anatomy of a Dall won best original screenplay.
To announce the winner for best costume designer, John Cena came out on stage wearing nothing.
The pro wrestler dawned only Birkenstocks as he covered himself with an envelope.
When he got up to the microphone he said, “Costumes” and then shook his head and added, “they are so important.”
The audience applauded wildly for Cena’s bold move.
However, he is not the first person to streak at the Oscars.
During the 1974 Oscars, photographer Robert Opel ran nude across the stage while David Niven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor.
