Was it supposed to be a reference to the last supper?

Actually, no

American channels chose instead to focus on two celebrities poorly describing the ceremony

This was the same for everyone. The ceremony director wanted it to be a surprise, so no-one knew what was going on.

hope their executives reconsider their broadcasting policies because they’re subpar.

They should at least release some guidelines to all the presenters next time.

I think all these "Christians" that were offended by not understanding the theme, and then seeing people at a table (a fairly common thing) and jumping to the conclusion of "this must be the last supper!", says a lot about their head space.

What did they see that specifically reminded them of the "Last Supper" other than people at a table? Did it stir some repressed emotions? Or is it just American ignorance of anything outside US customs or beliefs are lost on the overwhelming majority of American "Christians" that have their heads so far in the sand they still believe Trump is the most "Christian" politician ever?

Smurfy Jesus was always my favorite Jesus, I've always said that.

Nah man, eating is their thing, they are just trying to let you know they want to figure out how to trademark it so if they don't like you, you will never be allowed eat.
