Sam Smith, an openly gay singer and songwriter from England, won an Oscar at the 2016 Academy Awards on Sunday for his song “Writing’s on the Wall” from the film, “Spectre.”

The dream quickly turned into a nightmare, however, after critics blasted Smith for declaring himself the first openly gay Oscar winner during his acceptance speech:
