I think this is entirely the Academy’s fault. In the first place, a lame comedian is a poor choice for host, and secondly, you’ve gotta check people’s social media history before you hire them for huge gigs like this. The minute he gets it, he’s rushing to delete offensive old tweets that the Academy should’ve known about anyway and which should’ve made them nix the idea. When I think about how the wrong Best Picture winner was read a few years ago, and now this, the whole Oscars thing is going downhill. Longer than that, actually: “Uma? Oprah. Oprah? Uma.”
