Not all were too happy with the athletesโ€™ inclusion, though. Some took to Twitter before the show to question why presenters with no cinema ties would be included in the lineup, to which Hawk took issue. โ€œIf being in every Jackass movie, xXx, Police Academy 4 and Sharknado 5 doesnโ€™t qualify me to present at the Oscars, then your taste in movies needs readjusting,โ€ย the pro skater Tweeted.
