I think I just found a new reaction gif to use on (other) message boards (Christian Slater).

The worst was "we were all having what they call a ‘dirty beer” in humanitarian language,” he said", like all humanitarians ("like me!") have a secret language. Mehershala Ali (with Naomie Harris?) looks positively horrified, like he wanted to say STOP.

I agree to an extent with what you say about Cumberbatch during his Oscar campaign. Yet I think (and maybe that's just me being a fan) that he at least has a genuine sense of humor about himself and the silly things he sometimes does. Both Eddie and Tom seem to lack any self-awareness. I don't buy Eddie's faux-humility-act for one second. Boy hustled harder than anyone for his Oscar. And Tom is just desperation personified at this point.

Yeah, I don't really like any of the 3 but Cumberbatch has a sense of humor that the other two sorely lack. It wasn't until this thread that I realized I don't know when the last time I saw him was.

I've never cared for Hiddleston and saw the desperation coming from a mile away after Loki got big. He wanted fame in the worst ways. Now he's infamous. Enjoy it dude.

I finally listened to it. I was expecting some really extra-Frenchy pronunciation of Medecins sans Frontieres, so that part was disappointing. Here's my version of the speech:

1. I do humanitarian work in Sudan. Not just Sudan, but south Sudan, which shows that I really, really have been there.
2. Let me tell you some factoids about the size of Sudan and when it was established to show that I really do know about Sudan and you, of course, do not.
3. Let me throw in some humanitarian lingo that you wouldn't be familiar with because reminder: I have actually been to Sudan and done humanitarian work there. You probably haven't.
3. Being in The Night Manager was almost as valuable to the world as the humanitarian work I do in South Sudan as it is an IMPORTANT MESSAGE MOVIE about arms dealing and how it affects children - just like the children in South Sudan with whom I do my humanitarian work.
4. The point of this story is that the professional humanitarian works in Sudan whom I met personally while in Sudan told me that I brought joy into their bleak, dreary lives with my performance. And that's in addition to the humanitarian work I was at that very moment doing (in Sudan) when they told me this!
5. A humble, British thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press.

I didn't watch the GGs, but this brief summary sounds like the essence of what would come out of Gwynnie's mouth.

I don't know. I feel like Gwynnie is savvy enough not to do that. Back when she got awards for acting (ha ha!- Nelson Muntz), didn't she stick to gushing and name dropping?She seems to use all of her "my friend called me a trailblazer so it must be true" anecdotes for print interviews.

6. And don't forget, they all binge watched "The Night Manager" (wonder if it put them to sleep the same way it did me?)

How come he didn't thank Taylor Swift?

And did you know that South Sudan is the youngest country of all!

This wasn't really an apology situation and unfortunately for him, his theoretical appeal as an upper crust British actor involves being able to give an elegant speech. Not to distinguish himself in a room full of self-absorbed tools as an even bigger self-absorbed tool than the others. Christian Slater and Vince Vaughn were unimpressed, and there's not a bigger tool out there than Vince Vaughn.

[dragonflie]

I think he has burned his bridges (fast and hard)... This apology is kinda sad to me. It may help temper the flames, but he ain't the golden boy any more, that's for sure.
