Also?

By policy set years ago, they no longer say, "And the winner is..."

Instead, the Academy insists that everyone nominated has achieved an important victory, and they do not want to tarnish that by claiming only a single person has "won". The required language for presenters is now, "And the Oscar goes to..."

For the record, I have never once watched the Oscars from start to finish, and the total amount of time I've spent watching the Oscars since I was old enough to watch television (more than 50 years now!) is certainly less than the length of one year's complete show. And yet even **I** know the famous words, "And the Oscar goes to..."

Poor Drumpf. Guess his brain failed him bigly on that one.

Boy oh boy, just another window into how his swiss cheese brain works. He's just learning NOW, after how many court appearances, that he can't use his privilege for unlimited jury stacking? Our laws, how do they work again? Shows how long he's skated on skirting justice and how entitled he is.
