Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel under fire for gags about 'foreign' names
Flack for Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel is starting to build online over a series of remarks he made over foreign-sounding names at the ceremony. Most notably, the talk show host decided that Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali’s name was worthy of singling out.

Academy, Oscar Accountants Offer More Apologies; Investigation Launched

According to a new poll on all things Oscars by The Hollywood Reporter, however, couldn’t name those two films — or any of the other seven contenders — as nominees for the award. According to THR’s survey (conducted with the National Research Group in February), 60 percent of the 800 people questioned drew a blank when it came to Best Picture nominees — and in many respects, those results crossed political lines.
