Damn.
Damn.
FOR FUCK'S SAKE, PATRICIA ARQUETTE.
My husband is really happy Big Hero 6 won because it's one of the few films out there featuring Asian Americans and hapa kids. He's Asian, I'm American Indian and if we pop out kids they'd be hapa, so this is a film we could share with them. I haven't seen the other films so I can't compare. But in this case…
It's healthy for an American citizen to make jokes about an immigrant's legal status? You don't see a power imbalance here at all? As an immigrant, I've heard these jokes from American citizens my whole life and for most of it did not object precisely b/c this kind of behavior is so "normalized," to use your term.
What the actual fuck?!
This isn't just about Inarritu. The joke was made on public television and there's an immigration crisis in this country. So a white male American citizen making this joke? Super problematic.
Sooooo... Are we going to talk about Sean Penn's "joke" or what?
And then the best picture talked about immigration rights and Mexican politics? Wow for once the speeches weren't boring!
Yes, that made me flinch. I love you girl, but we are still working on Civil Rights for people of color. Not to mention the battles of LGBTQ folks. She doesn't need to mention every struggle, but don't act like other Civil Rights battle has been definitively won, because no they have not been. As Lonnie Lynn and John…
Yes, pure spoken word in both the lyrics and the speech, he is such an inspiring writer and performer.
Amazing. It was a flawless performance. So nice to hear two guys so eloquently talk about the problems black men face in this country.
I wasn't watching it on the tv, but it seems from this clip that people were just trying to let them speak? Probably also one of those times where people are like 'wait if I clap when he says there are a lot of black men in jail will people think I'm all about mass incarceration of black men?' Like when someone you…
As someone who has liked common for years, I am super pleased. He is so eloquent and just...GOOD. Common forevvvvver.
Yup, I was like was everyone on a bathroom break for Common's speech? No clapping/little clapping really?
I would listen to him read the phone book. And if he felt compelled to do so topless and pantsless, well who am I to stop him?
This was such an amazing speech, this along with Arquette and the writer speech from Imitation Game was super moving. I was so annoyed that hardly ANYONE clapped for Common/ Legend as much as they did for Arquette. Common's speech was pure poetry!
I've been saying this for at least 10 years— 10 years during which I have aged and yet he looks exactly the same— but I seriously want to marry Common.
Holy shit, can I give this comment an Oscar? And offer Common protection from her wrath? Come to my house, Mr. Lynn, I'll give you amnesty. Among other things.....
But i don't understand Patricia said that we have fought for everyone else's equal rights, the fight is over because we are equal. Damn they need to get with the program.
That performance with the Pettus bridge set, followed by that speech.... flawless.
