I haven't stopped laughing since Travolta screwed up...
What a night!

Ugh. One of my socially progressive Facebook friends had to ruin it for me. Apparently, Travolta is dyslexic?

(No excuse. He should have practiced).
And, he has claimed that Scientology helped cure him of his dyslexia.
Adela Dazeem would beg to differ...

Okay, if he claimed that Scientology cured him of his dyslexia, I'm okay with continuing the laffs.
All-in-all, this is great news for Idina. I hardly think she'd be trending this much if things had gone smoothly with that introduction. I'm sure the If/Then producers aren't upset.

He could've introduced Liza, giving her the chance to launch into a spirited chorus of "Liza with a Z". Maybe next year. Idina had no song. That was her downfall.

Very funny. I still can't believe he did that. It's not like Menzel is a difficult last name. Idina could be mispronounced, I guess, but it certainly does not look or sound like Adele. Imagine if he had a harder name like Lupita Nyong'o. Or if Quvenzhane Wallis was nominated this year.

He didn't say something wrong, but expected, like Eye-deena Menzle.

Yeah, I kind of don't buy the dyslexia bit much. First, all he had to do was ask to be sure of who he was presenting. And he also didn't seem to struggle with anything else and don't recall that from past events either.

I'm glad I'm not the only 1 who can't stop laughing about this. I've literally had little girl giggle fits since he said it.

John has dyslexia. It's Tom Cruise who claims Scientology cured his. John has just said that it helped him with his. One would think it would cure them both, but Scientology is funny like that. Regardless, it should have been memorized. Cher is dyslectic and says she absolutely cannot do a cold read. When doing anything from auditions to presenting an award, she memorizes anything she needs to say. Anyone who has lived with dyslexia should know that.

Yeah, they have rehearsals and stuff, so he should've known how to pronounce it. Plus, if there was "a special place in my heart for musicals," as he claims, he should've been familiar with her.
I want him to take a stab at 'Chiwetel Ejiofor.'

It wasn't just the mispronunciation, it was that weird way he said it like she was some Egyptian singer.

If John has Dyslexia then there's really no excuse for his flub.
Unless he suddenly developed it for the first time on camera, he should have rehearsed her name many times in advance. If you know you have the disease, you don't read from a teleprompter in front of a billion people.

Exactly.
I admit to laughing at the 'loop' that was posted in the BWW article... he said it with such authority! I suppose if you're going to blow something, you may as well do down in flames.
