Donald Trump may have criticized Jimmy Kimmel’s hosting of the Oscars, but he’s no stranger to criticizing the Academy Awards. In fact, Trump’s criticism of the show is something of an Oscar night tradition.

During tonight’s Oscars, which saw oppenheimer and poor things To dominate the wins, Kimmel read aloud a statement posted by Trump on his social media site Truth Social in which the former US president attacked the host’s hosting skills.

“Has there EVER been a WORSE PRESENTER than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars?” Trump wrote. “Her opening of him was that of a below-average person trying too hard to be something he is not and can never be.” In response, Kimmel joked, “Isn’t your time in jail already over?”

Unusually, this is not the first time Trump has gone after the Oscars. Or even the second or third time. In 2021, he claimed that “the Oscars” are “a much less important and fancy name” than “the Academy Awards,” and mocked the show’s declining ratings. “If they continue with the current ridiculous formula, it will only get worse, if possible,” he wrote on Twitter.

In 2020, Trump became distracted during a rally and ranted about that year’s Best Picture award given to Bong Joon-ho’s celebrated class satire. Parasite. “By the way, how bad were the Academy Awards this year, see?” Trump asked the crowd. “And the winner (was) a film from South Korea. What the hell was that all about? We already have enough problems with South Korea, commercially, and on top of that they give it the best film of the year. It was good?”

He then complained that the movies weren’t as good as they used to be. “We can get gone With the Wind back please? Sunset Boulevard! “So many great movies.” He also added that he was not a fan of Brad Pitt, who won Best Supporting Actor that night for once upon a time in hollywoodcalling him “a little wise man.”

In 2017, Trump – always a pop culture commentator – also commented on the issue he briefly saw The The Earth declared winner of Best Picture Moonlight. “They were so focused on politics that in the end they couldn’t get their act together,” he told Breitbart News.

In his most recent Academy Awards speech, Trump added that Kimmel should be replaced at future Oscar ceremonies by American television host George Stephanopoulos, whom Trump dubbed “another washed-up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent’.” .

Trump continued his criticism as host by condemning the Oscars as a whole. “Also, tonight is a really bad politically correct show, and for years: disjointed, boring and very unfair. Why don’t they give the Oscar to someone who deserves it? Maybe then its audience and television ratings will return from the depths. LET’S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

This year’s Oscars saw oppenheimer triumphed in the categories of Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, while Emma Stone received a surprise Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in poor things – despite predictions that Flower Moon KillersLily Gladstone would triumph.
