BBC Breakfast left a number of viewers exasperated on Monday morning as the Oscars took precedence on the show.
Presenters Sally Nugent and Jon Kay were back on the red sofa covering a range of subjects on the popular morning programme.
But the 95th Academy Awards appeared to gain a fair amount of coverage on the news show, as Entertainment Correpondent Colin Paterson reported from the event.
In addition to this, journalist Lizo Mzimba came to into the studio to discuss the prestigious awards with host Sally.
As things appeared to be getting a bit too much, disgruntled viewers shared their thoughts on Twitter.
One person wrote: “Can you now stop talking about the Oscars and actually talk about more serious news now . China is going to Russia next week to meet Putin.”
Another said: “Nobody cares about the Oscars. Give us the news instead.”
While a third chimed: “BBC Oscars coverage is completely over the top – tedious beyond belief.”
But despite some backlash, some were happy to see the Oscars being reported at length and asked the presenters to mention British artist Charlie Mackesy who also won an award.
Jumping back onto the platform, one person wrote: “You haven’t mentioned Charlie Mackesy’s Oscar!!!! Please please give it a mention. He is such a lovely man and his story about the boy and the horse is phenomenal!”
And another chimed: “Don’t forget that Charlie Macksey won an Oscar last night for best short animated film!”
The news comes after Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win best actress for her role in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Accepting her statuette, she said: “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities.
“And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you that you are ever past your prime.”
The creative multiverse adventure won seven gongs at the awards ceremony including best picture, director and original screenplay.
