WASHINGTON, D.C. — POTUS Trump, in the exclusive interview with Breitbart News in the White House, said “The Academy Awards failure on Sunday evening was due in large part to Hollywood’s obsessive focus on politics—attacking him,” generally speaking.
He was of the opinion that it could have gone right if they had focused primarily on their own job instead of attacking him. They would have been attentive to their own details to make things right.
“I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn’t get the act together at the end,” President Trump said. “It was a little sad. It took away from the glamour of the Oscars. 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.”
The Oscars on Sunday witnessed gaffe of the history when the presenters Warren Beatty and Fage Dunaway announced the best picture “La La Land instead of actual winner, Moonlight. The apology came from the accounting firm Pricewaterhousecoopers as reported by Hollywood Reporter:
“We sincerely apologize to Moonlight, La La Land, Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for best picture. The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected. We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred. We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation.”
