An attempt to hype anticipation for the 91st Academy Awards may have just ended up sparking liberal meltdowns instead.
A sneak preview of the stage for Sunday’s star-studded annual Oscars touted the dazzling image created by set designer David Korins with an eye-popping display of over 40,000 Swarovski crystals, according to Interior Design.
Korins’ aim “…was to create abstract and organic shapes that make the audience and stage feel as one, representing a feeling of inclusivity,” according to a statement statement given to the Austrian crystal company.

The designer explained that, in response to a world “filled with TOO MANY straight lines & square thinking,” he had “designed a world” based on “inclusion & warm welcoming shapes.”
I think we can all agree that the world is filled with TOO MANY straight lines & square thinking. For the #Oscars this year I have designed a world based on the idea of inclusion & warm welcoming shapes that stretch out & envelope not only the audience but everyone watching. pic.twitter.com/uStpUiDnFX

Heads up everyone…. straight lines are now divisive and not inclusive at all
I am going with this reasoning for why I can’t draw a straight line

For many Twitter users, the unmistakable “world” on the Dolby Theater stage could not be unseen once the image lodged in the mind.
Just when I thought the #Oscars couldn’t become any more of a disaster, the stage is literally Trump’s hair.
I appreciate Korins’ intent here, but I can only see hair, and an empty space where the head should be. https://t.co/OGOIp7MMps

At first glance I thought it was an artist’s rendering of Trump’s hair as a proscenium arch. That impression faded after a while, but the first impression was unmistakable. Sorry to be the wet blanket voice here.

Some found Korins’ design had inspired different mental images.
It looks like a Lady Gaga Wig

This year’s Oscars stage is inspired by Lady Gaga’s wig from the 2016 Oscars. pic.twitter.com/uA0LGFd2qG

But for fans of the president, there seemed to be a delicious irony in the vision of Trump-hating liberals spewing politically charged remarks while congratulating each other from a stage domed by their arch-enemy’s hair.
Oh! I am too blinded by the hair to see any other possibilities!

Inclusion, not President Trump’s hair, is the theme of 2019 Oscars stage https://t.co/KMpbV8jiWS pic.twitter.com/ZFEIDwNxiU

Prepare your meme makers. Sunday’s Oscars stage is going to look like President Trump’s hair!

So….the design of this year’s Oscar stage was created solely for the purpose of somebody onstage joking that it resembles Donald Trump’s hair? pic.twitter.com/4LOzSPLvV4
