The 89th Academy Awards set out to be a roast of President Donald Trump, but it was they who got roasted after an epic flub.
And no one was happier than Steve Harvey, except perhaps conservative radio host Larry Elder.
In a move reminiscent of Harvey’s flub of announcing the wrong Miss Universe winner a year ago, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway incorrectly announced that ” La La Land” had won the “Best Picture” award when the correct winner was actually “Moonlight.”
Elder used the blunder to troll former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Hillary called. She wants Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway to review the ballots voters cast in Wisconsin and Michigan.#Oscars

And the event itself was trolled hard on social media, including by the Miss Universe pageant itself.
Have your people call our people – we know what to do. #Oscars #MissUniverse

Some think the culprit for the mistake might be the dastardly Russians. And why not? The same liberals have been blaming them for everything else.
And the winner is…
Oops.
Those damn Russians must have put that in there. ?#EnvelopeGate pic.twitter.com/VRi3gnVHcf

Others likened it to what they believe Hollywood wanted to do with the presidential election.
Liberals wish they could change the winner of the election as easily as they changed the winner at #Oscar2017 #envelopegate #morningJoe pic.twitter.com/HdV9zDGWEZ
