Acid tongued music mogul Simon Cowell has slammed Sunday night’s Academy Awards, because he says, “The Oscars reek of snobbery.”

The American Idol judge believes the ceremony - which exclusively rewards work on movies - looks down on TV series and television stars; and Cowell even claims he’s viewed as “evil” in Hollywood circles.

He says, “They think I’m the antichrist. They don’t like us TV people to be part of it - it’s ridiculous. It reeks of snobbery.” And Cowell insists he wouldn’t want to attend the star-studded event because he hates Tinseltown. He adds, “I have nothing to do with the Oscars - and nor do I want to. I’ll only go if someone has invited me. “I hate the whole movie industry. It’s so stuck up I can’t bear it.”
