Tinsel & Tine Recaps & Archives The 89th Annual Academy Awards By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I normally start these round ups talking about the foods served at my annual Red Carpet Picnic, then I go into the host, handled very well by Jimmy Kimmel, whose Trump Administration political jokes were funny, made a point, but weren’t too over the top – “The Oscars are being watched by 225 countries around the world who now hate us”.
