Will Donald and Melania Trump be watching the Oscars? Sean Spicer reveals the answer

Will the Trumps be watching the Academy Awards on Sunday night?

President Donald Trump has long been a critic of the Oscars, as noted in his incessant live-tweeting of the ceremony over the years, so it would make sense that he'd continue the trend in 2017. Back in 2015, for example, he was so disheartened by Hollywood's biggest night that he suggested himself to host the ceremony the next year.

Obviously, that didn't happen -- and probably won't ever happen -- but, the question on everyone's minds this year is whether Trump will be watching the Oscars at all on Sunday.

Thanks to White House press secretary Sean Spicer, we have our answer.

"I think Hollywood is known for being rather far to the left in its opinions, and I've got to be honest with you, I think the president will be hosting the Governors' Ball that night," Spicer said during his daily press briefing on Wednesday. "Mrs. Trump looks forward to putting on a phenomenal event. And the first lady's put a lot of time into this event, in welcoming our nation's governors to the capital, and I have a feeling that's where the president and first lady are going to be focused on Sunday night."

In other words? No, the Trumps will not be watching the Academy Awards this weekend.

Of course, this should come as no surprise to those familiar with President Trump's increased criticism of Hollywood over the past couple of years. Back in January, when Meryl Streep slammed Trump while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globes, the president called her an "over-rated actress," despite her 20 career Oscar nominations.

Though he won't be watching, something tells us that Donald Trump will still have something to say after Sunday's ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
