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.

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

Because I’ve never once felt anything approaching gratitude or humility from the guy and because I don’t find him especially interesting to watch on screen and because he has a very punchable face

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

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.
