Donald Trump continues to think that he is an expert on everything. Yesterday, Trump offered up his unsolicited opinion on the Oscars. From the beginning, Trump was not impressed, but I’m pretty sure Seth MacFarlane didn’t care much about what Trump had to say.
Trump’s dislikes began with the opening monologue featuring William Shatner:
I don’t like the opening even a little bit!

Last night William Shatner had more airtime than any winner. It should have been called the William Shatner show…

Trump also had a lot to say about “Django Unchained” and the rest of the show.
Django Unchained is the most racist movie I have ever seen, it sucked!

Very tacky set!

Shirley B did a very good job singing Goldfinger! Not easy.

Lincoln never sounded like that!

Anne Hathaway is a good winner!

The Oscar broadcast is really boring – where is the glamour and beauty?

Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas look great!

I’ve had enough of this – good night!

…Overall, the Academy Awards were very average at best.

This isn’t the first time Donald Trump has offered his non-educated pop culture opinion, and he has now joined the chorus of people, including the always outspoken Spike Lee, in their opposition to “Django Unchained” — which earned Quentin Tarantino the Oscar for Best Screenplay Sunday night.
“American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them,” Lee tweeted back in December about Django Unchained.
Jamie Foxx later responded to the controversy.
“The question for me is: where’s Spike Lee coming from?” Foxx said. “He didn’t like Whoopi Goldberg, he doesn’t like Tyler Perry, he doesn’t like anybody, I think he’s sort of run his course. I mean, I respect Spike, he’s a fantastic director. But he gets a little shady when he’s taking shots at his colleagues without looking at the work. To me, that’s irresponsible.”
