Did President Trump get his people to secretly persuade the Russians to hack this year's Oscars envelopes to make his preferred film win? It wouldn't have been difficult to crack their site with a password like "winningmovie"? There is no proof he did it, so in mediaspeak it would seem certain he did.

And did they exceed their remit by tinkering with the In Memoriam Section to substitute the photo of a very much alive Australian Producer Jan Chapman in a tribute to four time nominee Janet Patterson, just to show that they could?
