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

@thestudio suspect its because OP is a daily mail staffer in desperate need of clicks on an article to reach quota before their shift ends.

Doh of course.

JustSawJohnny · 03/03/2025 10:15

As if that was a storm out 😂

DM writers being utterly shit, as per.

skit aside, it would be interesting if everyone turned up in normal clothes, it's only the oscars after all. I bet people would still copy what they wore. LOL

Rewis · 03/03/2025 10:39

There was a simular headline about Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson leaving SNL 50 concert in a huff. Then I watched the clip and it was a skit. I can't dela with these headlines.

Two comedians performed a scripted skit at an awards ceremony. Somehow that's news?

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.

Having seen the way many of the luvvies were dressed, a blue jumper sounds ideal!

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.

I would absolutely love it if this was the case

it WAS the case!

Floralnomad · 03/03/2025 10:59

I just assumed this was a set up between the three of them , Ukrainian colours and a pop at Vance / Trump about dress codes .

Salacia · 03/03/2025 11:29

It’s so obviously a skit making a dig at the Trump administration for how they treated Zelensky. It’s worrying that people can’t see that and says a lot for media literacy (which takes us back to how Trump got elected in the first place - that and Russian interference).

I answered the question, that's all. I like my rock, thanks.

Why though?

I'm not into motorbikes, so can't imagine clicking on a motorbike thread only to say,

"I don't know about motorbikes, so not bothered".....

It's bizarre!

And yet here you are.

TheCatterall · 03/03/2025 12:02

I was hoping that enough people understood the skit and the message it sent. I’m glad to see you all in the comments.

@Thunderpants88 have enough people explained it to you now?

Treesandsheepeverywhere · 03/03/2025 12:14

Sharptonguedwoman · 03/03/2025 11:53

That doesn't even make sense🤣.

I like A.S, that's why I clicked and commented previously about the skit.

Why click just to tell people you don't know who he is and that you're not bothered 🤔.

You were clearly bothered enough to want to participate in the thread.

Moral of the story- don’t believe a word the gutter press say and actually watch the clip it refers to before making yourself look ridiculous by giving your opinion.

Tagyoureit · 03/03/2025 12:23

So staged! Adam Sandler is wearing a microphone!

Yes its so the audience can hear him.

This has gone straight over your head OP.

This. I can’t even be arsed to explain it so this post will do. 🤣

Yes. Now I feel totally thick! I did not get the reference at all 🤦‍♀️

My thoughts-this is someone getting as many people to go to the MAIL site as possible . It increases their advertising money. Also hoping people then go to other headlines. It wasn't even a good ruse. Don't fall for it. Its The Mail fgs.

ALovelyShadeofMauve · 03/03/2025 13:34

Really? I’m no fan of the Daily Mail either, but it’s hardly a tinpot local paper. Traffic from one MN thread - not even a particularly controversial one - isn’t going to send its website traffic soaring.

Don’t feel thick! I’m glad you started the thread as I found the skit very heartwarming and wouldn’t have known about it otherwise. Thank you OP. Stay away from the Daily Mail though, THAT is definitely not good for your brain!

Dolphinnoises · 03/03/2025 09:01

Not only that, it seems to have gone over the heads of the DM writer too!

It's DM click bait, they knew very well what it was.
People who've watched the show click to comment that it was a skit, those who didn't watch click for the drama, win-win.

Then there are those who'll believe anything despite the obvious staring them in the face.

And those who won't fact-check but spread the false stories.

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

Edited

Yes, I thought this was the case also
