Travolta 'beats himself up' over Oscar error

John Travolta has spoken about mispronouncing Idina Menzel's name at the Oscars earlier this week. In a statement, the actor said: “I've been beating myself up all day. Then I thought... what would Idina Menzel say? She'd say, 'Let it go, let it go!' Idina is incredibly talented and I am so happy Frozen took home two Oscars Sunday night!”
He was referring to the award-winning song “Let it Go”, which Menzel performed after his mangled introduction.
On Sunday night's Academy Awards show, Travolta appeared to welcome Menzel on stage, but seemed to say the name “Adele Dazeem”.
“Frozen”, which was made by Disney, picked up the awards for best animated film and best original song.
An estimated 43 million people watched the Oscars in the US alone, giving the ceremony the biggest audience in a decade.
