Michelle Obama’s appearance at the Oscars surprised many viewers, but perhaps even more puzzling were the members of the military that stood behind her as she announced the award for best picture.
Obama made no mention of the group surrounding her as she spoke of this year’s influential films, and critics slammed the appearance, saying she used the military personnel as “props.”
“So...today you young men and women of the US military are to stand looking interested whilst Michelle Obama presents Best Picture #Ofcourse!” one user posted on Twitter.
Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin tweeted a similar sentiment: “Why was Michelle O at the Oscars and why did she use service personnel as props but not thank the military?”
Indeed, in her brief speech about the best picture award, Obama failed to make mention of the men and women standing behind her, leaving many wondering what they were doing there.
On Twitter, some accused the FLOTUS of using the members of the military as “background,” “decoration” and even “human wallpaper.”
Obama has thus far opted not to explain the military’s presence during her virtual Academy Awards appearance, though she did tweet that she enjoyed announcing the top award of the night.
“It was a thrill to announce the #Oscars2013 best picture winner from the @WhiteHouse! Congratulations Argo! –mo,” she wrote early Monday morning.
