Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on this one. I’m torn.

On one hand he is free to wear what he wants and feels comfortable in to wherever he wishes however, it also seems disrespectful to show such contempt to the Oscars and, to his colleagues who have all bothered to make a huge effor

He was wearing a blue top. When he kissed Timothy Chalamet, in yellow, they made the Ukraine colours.

Something positive there.

My thoughts are that I can't stand the kind of "comedian" who singles out individual members of the audience to mock, in the expectation that other people will laugh. It smacks of bullying rather than any demonstration of wit.

Was it not a scripted part of the show? I didn't get the impression that it was meant to be spontaneous, or anything other than a gag.

You mean they were trying something like David and Georgia Tennant did at the BAFTAs, but (like then) not everyone got the joke?

Isn’t this a dig at the twat who told off Zelensky for not wearing a suit in the Oval
Office?

If this is true then that’s brilliant !
Well done to the Oscars and so I’m guessing hugging Chalamet was deliberate then. ie together they had on the Ukrainian flag colours!

Please let that all be true a big two fingers to Trump and Vance.

@Thunderpants88
Its not disrespectful to wear what you want to the Oscars.

hazelnutvanillalatte · 03/03/2025 04:42

Ir was a skit, they do this all the time. Like Ricky Gervais and Steve Carrell etc etc

35965a · 03/03/2025 04:47

Definitely a skit

ThePearlBee · 03/03/2025 04:59

Obv an Ukraine reference imo. But even if it wasn't, OP, "contempt for the Oscars?" 😂It's not a court.

orangemapleleaves · 03/03/2025 05:01

Definitely a dig at the simping journalist asking Zelensky why he couldn't wear a suit and then hugging the guy in yellow to make the Ukraine flag. Another up yours to Trump and Vance.

Leafy74 · 03/03/2025 05:02

He was already wearing a microphone.

Ohyay · 03/03/2025 05:05

Absolute genius!

TwoSteppingInTexas · 03/03/2025 05:11

This has gone straight over your head OP.

dottiehens · 03/03/2025 05:11

I avoid watching the Oscars these days. In fact I stopped watching films with certain actors in it. At least they did not have slapping the host on stage and that hideous film Emily Perez did not win many Oscars as per the newspapers.

Tbf, the DM article is hardly illuminating.

"Tbf, the DM article is hardly illuminating"

Who have thought it, a DM article that's froth and not substance. Grin

There was a gag about Sandler not being appropriately dressed.

ImustLearn2Cook · 03/03/2025 05:47

It was definitely a skit. You can watch it on the video clip I linked.

That was part of the show. He had a mic on.
We wouldn't have been able to hear him if it wasn't planned.

Zanatdy · 03/03/2025 06:08

Of course it’s scripted and a dig about president Zelensky not wearing a suit to the Oval office. As if anyone would turn up dressed like that to the oscars.

Willyoujust · 03/03/2025 06:24

every Year there’s some dramatic incident. It’s all scripted.
