I feel fortunate that Adrien Brody's speech had no effect on my desire to watch The Brutalist.

If we're complaining about anyone's speech, it should be that Emilia Perez songwriter lady who started singing her own song.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

He’s been giving that speech every single day of his life. Every time he’s gotten a speeding ticket or been mildly inconvenienced in any way.
‘We have to stop this antisemitism!’

Actually that speech makes much more sense if you imagine it’s him getting a speeding ticket and not letting the cop speak and just taking over and over him.
Asshole.

Didn’t like that they played music over the speech of the director of I’m Still Here. So rude.

Don’t understand why the show lasts four hours, but with half an hour left, several major awards have not been given out, and there is no time for speeches.

yeah, and they have time for long weird alternative-comedy sketches that are often more boring than the speeches

Brody’s speech was genuinely one of the highlights of the night. This is what the show should be like. Let the winners speak.

You would say that.
An asshole. Here’s why -
Any actor with some shame would have handed that Oscar back or even refused the nomination had their performance been finished with AI as his was. I can’t in good conscience accept this award etc st.
Every other actor nominated deserved it more than him. He’s a self entitled prick in reality off screen anyways nothing to do with his faith happy to report. But he stole that Oscar.

If timothee what’s his name can work for 5 years on guitar playing and singing lessons that’s the craft. If he’d used ai to sound like Dylan is say he doesn’t deserve that award either.


And another big reason and you’re just complaining about it above. He’s literally stealing other people’s time here and they let him do it because and they knew beforehand, very second of the night is rehearsed multiple times in the week before. And had they not? Imagine what the screams of outrage would be today. They cut him off! That’s Antisemitism!

If everything is antisemitism. Nothing is. And it’s not about that. He’s a prick and should hand that award back. He stole it and doesn’t deserve it.

Mikey Madison was very sweet in how she accepted the award. Look forward to seeing her winning performance.

Wait, they let the winners know ahead of time so they can do the speeches in rehearsal? I honestly didnt know that.

I was more referring to Trag saying he has a punchable face. But uh, you might want to look into that AI stuff. Not egregious, and pretty much industry standard stuff.
