Sean Spicer said Thursday that Donald Trump wouldn’t be watching the Oscars, especially since he’s attending the Governor’s Dinner in Washington, D.C. on Sunday evening.

Conservative commentators were even nastier, if that’s possible. At least Ann Coulter admitted she was bashing the show without even watching it.
GET A LOAD OF THESE SELF-IMPORTANT AIRHEADS! (Tweeted without watching.)

Fox News host Laura Ingraham found Jimmy Kimmel’s anti-Trump humor “strained.”
Kimmel is bombing everywhere except in the first 5 rows. Non-stop, strained anti-Trump humor.

Tomi Lahren said, “Such a great time awarding Hollywood’s cry babies tonight!” and touted her own creation, the Snowflake awards, with such witty choices as “Matt Damon for ‘Don’t use guns like Jason Bourne!'”

She got even angrier as the night wore on.
