I assume it has something to do with him being angry that too many minorities won or something?

"Elegance" is when something is precise and simple without a lot of unnecessary ornamentation so "The Oscars" conveys exactly what it's supposed to while "The Academy Awards" asks the question "which academy?" Is it possible that the former president doesn't know what the word "elegant" means?

He looked like he was trying to impress her with his big brain when he’s suggested injecting bleach and light.

that Trump has said, like the above, is that they seem to end with a thud.

For instance, the above P.S. note could say:

"P.S. Our show SUCKED this year cause you are a science illiterate that gave everybody Covid you ignorant moron..

We need to insult him publicly as often as possible and bury any legacy he tries to build. Gawd...I hate that MF'er.

Great retort by the Academy btw.
