Bong Joon-ho holds the Oscars for best original screenplay, best international feature film, best directing, and best picture for 'Parasite' at the Governors Ball after the Oscars on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2020, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. U.S. President Donald Trump bemoaned this year's Academy Award winner for best picture, "Parasite," on Thursday because it's a South Korean film.

"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. Trump, however, wasn't impressed. He seemed more interested in American films that had been made more than 70 years ago. 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"Understandable, he can't read,"Trump also wasn't a fan of Brad Pitt, whose speech, when he received the award for best supporting actor, veered into politics when he mentioned John Bolton's absence from the President's Senate impeachment trial.

We're no please he's president either

Just shows how Hollywood has gone down hill. They just produce garbage films and tell the rest how to think.

Too foreign for him. He hasn't even watched it.

Your story is …..

CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT

A needy creature in big pants.Let's hope 'Gone with the Wind' is him come Nov.

Snowpiercer is a better movie with the same Marxist class-warfare themes. Parasite is over the top class warfare. The acting is sometimes amateurish and the ending is just weird.

Yeah, I bet he isn't pleased. It doesn't 'Make America Great.'

If Trump isn’t pleased, then I AM.

LOL, I doubt he gives a flying F

It’s crap imo

Trump is entitled to an opinion. Just like we all are. It's healthy to disagree. That's what makes the process of winning exciting and unpredictable.

Is that serious all you can come up with from his rally?

Lol so? What's with this self flagellation of everything western and put everything non western on the pedestal? Or to simplify it, who are you to say he's wrong? He has a right to personal taste.

Trump is the kind of landlord poor Koreans have to deal with

I’ve never seem the movie since it got nominated so everyone knew had a chance of winning I was cheering for Joker I haven’t seen S Korea movie

Maybe tell him that's where his phone was made and he will stop the Twitter diarrhea.

He's blowing hot air to deflect from something else.... idiots!

It’s going to be too late when all of the roads to Fixing the mess of politics and crime created by a ruler who must rule are blocked by all of the people he is putting into place. Then what? It will be too late! Stand up and call your senator or mayor or public politician.

Isn't it ironic! 😆

Who cares?

I agree with Trump.... a sub titled film may be a good film but should not win best picture..... I saw it, read it, and it wasn’t very good...

There is no end to how low trump will go. Sad.

Trolling the media lol It never gets old

So let him make his own film. Wait, he is it’s called being a president reality show. 😳

So he's finally figured out that North Korea and South Korea are two different countries so he can't congratulate Kim Jong-Un on all his success at the Oscars! 🤨
