US President Donald Trump has blasted the Oscars Award for giving a
South Korean movie “Parasite,” its award for best picture, best
directing and best original screenplay in the recently held Oscars
Awards ceremony.
Parasite was the first foreign language movie to win best picture at the
2020 Academy Awards and it also won awards for best directing and
original screenplay but Trump isn’t pleased saying the US already had
trade issues with South Korea so a South Korean film shouldn’t have won
the Oscars.
Trump, however, seemed more interested in American films that were produced more than 70 years ago.
“How bad were the Academy Awards this year, did you see? ‘And the winner
is … a movie from South Korea,’ ” Trump said, impersonating an
announcer, at a rally in Colorado Thursday night.
“What the hell was that all about? We’ve got enough problems with South
Korea with trade, on top of it they give them the best movie of the
year?” he asked.
“I’m looking for like, let’s get ‘Gone with the Wind’ — can we get like ‘Gone with the Wind’ back,
please? ‘Sunset Boulevard,’ so many great movies,” he continued as the crowd cheered him.
Trump said he didn’t know if “Parasite” was good. “I thought it was
best foreign film, best foreign movie — no, it was the best. Did this
ever happen before?” he asked
