ITV viewers were less than impressed during the channel's coverage of The Oscars on Sunday, with many slamming the "awful panel".
Presenter Jonathan Ross, actor Jason Isaacs, broadcaster Mariella Frostrup and film expert Elle Osili-Wood covered the star-studded award ceremony for ITV, but complaints soon flooded social media.
The 97th Academy Awards aired on Sunday, March 2, celebrating some of the biggest films of the last year.
Frostrup, 62, didn't hold back in sharing her own opinions on the films, which caused a stir online as some fans slammed her commentary.

Just before the ceremony began at the Dolby Theatre in LA, Ross, 64, and the rest of the panel chatted about Demi Moore film The Substance.
The body horror saw Moore, 62, up for the Best Actress award, which in the end went to Mikey Madison, 25, for her role in Anora.
The dark film did win the gong for Best Makeup and Hairstyling though, but Frostrup seemed unimpressed with the plot.
"Substance is a very strange choice," she shared with the panel, continuing: "If you like gore you will love it. If you don’t, not much to take home."

The host went on: "The reason it is in there is because it feels like it’s important. Its about ageing. It’s about masochism.
"It's a headline film with very little underneath it. I don’t think knit explores anything it sets out to confront and frankly Demi is described as a fading actress but she is absolutely drop dead gorgeous.
"And if I looked like her naked I would take my clothes off all the time. If you start to unpick it it makes no sense whatsoever.
"It is not an important film in what it has to say." Frostrup's review didn't go down well with viewers, who slammed her coverage of the awards.

One penned: "#ITVOSCARS don't like the smug attitude of the short haired blonde woman talking a load of s*** missing the point of almost every film. I have the odd disagreement with Jason Issacs takes but he's still making a point at least."
"I'm very pleased that my worst fears haven't been confirmed thinking I'd be in the minority of people finding Mariella Frostrup INCREDIBLY INSUFFERABLE on #ITVOscars coverage tonight. She has the ability of talking for an extended period of time without actually saying anything," another added harshly.
"Yo #ITVOscars how about next year instead of Mariella Frostrup shitting on every film she wilfully refuses to try and understand, you actually get people who like films on your panel next year?" another fumed.
"Awful panel, zero insight, horrendous. #ITVOscars," someone else shared.
One more added: "10 minutes in to the ITV coverage of the Oscars and they’ve just applauded one of the panellists because she’s the only one there to have seen all of the nominees. Like, surely that should be one of the pre-requisites for being a panelist?! #ITVOscars."
However, others held a different view about the panel, with one writing: "Enjoying @mariellaf1 on #ITVOscars being all unapologetic and sassy about what films she does and doesn't like!" (sic)
