You can trust Donald Trump to make an event like the Oscars all about himself after he tweeted harshly about this year’s host Jimmy Kimmel. Launching a scathing attack on Jimmy Kimmel, Donald Trump tweeted that Jimmy is the “worst host” that The Academy Awards has ever been a witness to and added that he was “trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.”

<h2>Donald Trump makes waves at the Oscars&nbsp;</h2>

Commenting on Jimmy's opening monologue, Donald Trump said that his “opening was that of a less than average person” and went on to ask the organisers to replace him with “another washed up, but cheap, ABC talent George Slopanopoulos.” Vouching for George Trump said that he “would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous."

His tweet further read: “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!” <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-oscars-2024-winners-list-robert-downey-jr-wins-his-first-oscar-for-best-supporting-actor-updating-live-698762">Check out the full list of winners at Oscars 2024.</a>

Donald Trump’s tweet was read out loud by Jimmy on the stage after previous presenters for an award walked out and Jimmy had to fill the gap between incoming and outgoing presenters. At the time when he was reading out the tweet, everyone thought it was pulled out of one of the jokes he’d written for the night. It was only later that we found out&nbsp;it was an actual tweet by none other than Donald Trump.&nbsp;

In reply, Jimmy took the words quite sportingly and said, "Thank you for watching. Isn't it past your jail time?"

Trump's comment was announced by Jimmy Kimmel minutes before Oppenheimer was named Best Picture at the show's conclusion.

Jimmy Kimmel roasts Donald Trump for tweeting 'Get rid of Kimmel' on 'average' Oscars hosting

The largest actors union in the United States on January 14 accused the organisers of the Oscars of trying to intimidate celebrities not to present at rival award shows.

In an unprecedented statement, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) accused the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of "graceless pressure tactics."

The 160,000-member union said it was responding to widespread reports in Hollywood that the Academy was pressuring actors not to appear or present at award ceremonies other than the Oscars.&nbsp;

The SAG statement was issued as the Academy is still without a host for the Oscars just six weeks ahead of the ceremony and is looking for big-name presenters to draw in viewers.

Organizers of the Oscars, the last in a long round of award shows and red carpets in January and February, are trying to revamp the show after ratings for the most prestigious honours in the movie business hit an all-time low in 2018.

The Academy on Monday did not respond to a request for comment on SAG's statement, which was released two weeks before actors hold their own SAG awards show in Los Angeles on Jan. 26.

SAG said it had received "multiple reports" of pressure from the Academy, as well as experiencing first-hand what it called "attempts to control the awards show talent pipeline."

"The apparent attempt by the Academy to keep our members from presenting on their own awards show is utterly outrageous and unacceptable," SAG said in a statement.

"Actors should be free to accept any offer to participate in industry celebrations," it added, describing the Academy's tactics as "self-serving intimidation."

The Oscars look set to go ahead without a host for only the second time in its 91-year history after comedian Kevin Hart dropped out last month two days after being announced when past anti-gay tweets surfaced. A brief attempt to bring him back, championed by comedian Ellen DeGeneres, failed earlier this month and no replacement has been announced.

The U.S. television audience for the 2018 Oscars hit an all-time low of 26.5 million viewers, prompting the Academy to pledge to shorten the show by about 30 minutes to three hours and to hand out some awards during commercial breaks.

Nominations for the 2019 Oscars will be announced on January 22.&nbsp;
