Neil Patrick Harris’ Oscars hosting stint didn’t go as well as he had hoped for on Sunday night. He’s been accused of delivering flat jokes and he’s now under fire for how many names he couldn’t pronounce correctly.
Among the names he mispronounced are Chiwetel Ejiofor, Margot Robbie and Selma star David Oyelowo.
He did try to save himself with Ejiofor’s name and later joked, “I will intentionally mispronounce Chiwetel Ejiofor’s name to bring public awareness to the proper pronunciation of Chiwetel Ejiofor’s name,” Huffington Post reports.
Oyelowo seemed peeved about Harris’ flub of his name – which happened a few times - telling E! that he “butchered it.”
He also said while at the Governors Ball after party, “I even had Brad Pitt singing my name all over YouTube. He was friendly to me backstage so I don’t know why he’d do that,” Us Weekly reports.
