Oscars blasted for Holocaust joke and ‘painful’ Conan O’Brien skits

During the award presentation for Best Live Action Short Film, comedian Kumail Nanjiani cracked an offensive joke by swapping Schindler’s List for ‘Schindler Post It,’ much to the dismay of the Oscars audience and viewers at home.

‘Can’t say that Schindler’s List joke was uh in any good taste,’ one person wrote on X.

‘At the #Oscars, they just made an offensive joke by swapping Schindler’s List for #SchindlerPostIt, and the translator didn’t translate it—she caught on instantly and just went silent during that part. Did you notice it,’ wrote another.

Viewers watching from home blasted this year’s Oscars for being a ‘boring and predictable’ show.

‘This was a boring ceremony overall very predictable and nothing new,’ one person wrote on X.

‘This Oscars is sorta a flop idk. Conan flop, awkward jokes from presenters, ugly a** stage (yeah i said it) only saving this night is a Sinners Best Picture I’m not playing,’ another wrote.

Others ripped the program for running late and cutting acceptance speeches short, while host Conan O’Brien’s skits ran long.

‘The Oscars cutting off that speech for Golden to make room for more overlong presenter bits that land with a thud… booooooo,’ one person wrote.

‘If Conan’s whole awkward opening was cut we wouldn’t be cutting people off,’ wrote a second person.

‘Nooo you don’t get it those very unfunny 10min skits are so much more important we need time for those!’ added a third.

‘The fact one of the intro people had a skit about being played off like a minute later was salt in the wound too. Why is the academy adding categories when they can’t even allow enough time and respect to the pre-existing categories? It makes no sense,’ wrote a fourth.

Ballet legend Misty Copeland came out of retirement to dance during the Oscars performance of I Lied To You from Sinners.

It comes after Copeland feuded with Timothee Chalamet after he said he doesn’t want to work in an art that you ‘have to keep alive’ like ballet or opera.

Copeland said Chalamet wouldn’t have the ‘opportunities he has as a movie star’ without ‘opera and ballet.’

Michael B Jordan shocked the world as he upset Timothee Chalamet to win Best Actor on a night where One Battle After Another and Jessie Buckley also earned the top prize at the Oscars.

The 39-year-old actor earned the top honor for his leading role in Ryan Coogler film Sinners.

He upset favorite throughout award season 30-year-old Chalamet, who starred in Marty Supreme, as the field included: Leonardo DiCaprio – One Battle After Another, Ethan Hawke – Blue Moon, and Wagner Moura – The Secret Agent.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another was this year’s big winner at the Oscar’s, taking home six wins.

‘In 1975, the Oscar nominees for best picture were Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Jaws, Nashville, and Barry Linden. There is no best among them; there is just what the mood might be on that day,’ the director said during his acceptance speech.

‘I really blew it when I won a best director award and I forgot to thank my cast,’ he added. ‘What a night. You guys, let’s have a martini.’

Jessie Buckley won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Hamnet.

She dedicated her win ‘to the beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart.’

‘We all come from a lineage of women who continue to create against all odds. Thank you for recognizing me in this role, this is the greatest honor,’ she said.

Michael B Jordan won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Sinners.

He thanked God, his family, Sinners costars and director Ryan Coogler.

‘I want to thank Warner Bros, and for believing in this vision of Ryan Coogler and betting on a culture and original ideas and original artistry,’ Jordan said.

‘You’re an amazing, amazing person,’ he said of Coogler. ‘I’m so honored to call you a collaborator and a friend, and you gave me the opportunity and space for me to be seen, and I love you, too, bro, love you to death.’

Paul Thomas Anderson won the Oscar for Best Director for One Battle After Another.

Viewers watching from home were outraged that the songwriters of Golden were cut-off during their acceptance speech for Best Original Song.

‘Alright f*** the Oscars for cutting off Best Original Song for Golden KPop Demon Hunters. Absolute disrespect and disgraceful to the creatives behind the biggest song of the year,’ one user wrote on X.

‘I went from being mad that Golden won to being ten times as mad that they got cut off lol what the f***,’ wrote another.

‘hat was absolutely vile. The Golden writers weren’t done thanking their people and they just blast the music and cut them off. Disgusting, Disrespectful, f****d up, producers don’t give a s*** about the winners. Wow,’ wrote a third.

Ejae, Mark Sonnenblick, Joong Gyu Kwak, Yu Han Lee, Hee Dong Nam, Jeong Hoon Seo and Teddy Park won the Oscar for Best Original Song for Golden from KPop Demon Hunters.

While presenting the award for Best International Feature Film, Actor Javier Bardem called for a ‘Free Palestine.’

‘No to war and free Palestine,’ he said.
