Hollywood Rebukes Trump, Saves “The Apprentice” With Nominations for Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong

Hollywood has rebuked Donald Trump.

Despite all efforts to kill it, “The Apprentice” received two Oscar nominations this morning.

Sebastian Stan was nominated for Best Actor, Jeremy Strong for Supporting Actor.

Stan plays Donald Trump and Strong plays Roy Cohn in their early days when Trump was making his rise through New York media.

The movie depicts Donald raping wife, Ivanka.

Briarcliff Entertainment picked up the film when no one else would. But with no money to promote it, and heavy resistance from the movie’s financiers, “The Apprentice” had a short, sad run in the box office.

But now “The Apprentice” is back in the conversation, big time!

The irony is that in real life Trump thinks he’s going to have an influence on Hollywood by appointing “ambassadors,” the town really hates him.

Trump’s “ambassadors” — Stallone, Gibson, Voight — are meaningless in the real world.
