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.

lol. He's like 90% eyebrows/forehead acting
Trag, you gotta tell me why you hate him so much. I don't know much about his personal life, but I love his performances in The Pianist and The Brutalist. I haven't even seen him in much else, other than Wes Anderson movies, but I'm not sure if they count as real performances from anyone in those movies, so deadpan and all.

Love Dime, but that’s just silly.

The show should be built around longer speeches anyway.

it's acceptable behavior in some relationships, when you trust and love someone. it's not like he rubbed it in her hair! he forgot to spit it out and didn't want to be chewing gum during his speech!

no, some people do, when they're speaking from the heart. this is probably the last oscar he will win for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to regret leaving somebody out. maybe he regretted leaving some people out last time

No, if you are in a happy relationship, this is nothing. You’ll do far more for your partner than pick up their gum before a speech.

Not true, I love a good speech. More than anything else from the Oscar’s show, like the music and comedy.

It can't be "industry standard" because it's such new technology. There is no standard yet as to how it is implemented
