The Guardian- Donald Trump has suggested the calamitous end to the 2017 Oscars, where a mix-up with the awards envelope meant the team behind La La Land were told they had won best picture even though Moonlight won, was due to the award organizers being �focused so hard on politics�.
The president, who vowed not to watch the ceremony, was constantly referenced throughout the evening by the show�s host Jimmy Kimmel, who tweeted at him in the middle of the ceremony.
The late-night host also made fun of Trump�s fake news comments and his criticism of Meryl Streep for being overrated, before encouraging speeches that Trump �will tweet about in all caps during his 5am bowel movement tomorrow�. Trump didn�t respond on Twitter however, and instead saved his comments for an exclusive interview with rightwing news outlet Breitbart News.
�I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn�t get their act together at the end,� Trump said from the Oval Office.
�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.�
