[@ryanhiga9270]

@Sharon Jensen He hadn't done ANYTHING bad back then.

[@paulchandler9241]

Actually, I suspect it's the exact opposite. Ever heard of Milli Vanilli? Ever wondered why Matt and Ben have not written one single damned thing since? Going on 25 years now. Nothing. Hmmm. I wonder if somebody else wrote it. That would be quite a scandal, eh? In which case this speech would go down as the phoniest acceptance speech in history. One of them, anyway. I suspect there are many such phony speeches in Hollywood. Another example of which would be: Wedding vows! 😂 No but seriously Hollywood is chock full of evil human beings and I doubt Matt and Ben are exceptions. Me and Matt have a date with destiny. I will hand him a bag of apples someday. I will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is an absolute fraud, in multiple respects. I will destroy the significance of his acclaim, to the point where he will stare at his worthless trophies and want to melt them. I got his numbers, his Top 3 Hypocrisies. 1) Why doesn't Matt Damon send his kids to public school. 2) Why doesn't Matt Damon's Haitian charity use a cooperative ownership model. 3) How does progressive Matt Damon sleep at night knowing his "tribute" ushered in a wave of vile affluence that rapidly destroyed a working class community. He cannibalized our authenticity, he aped our spirit, and he stole OUR genius. Did you ever wonder if it's not just some joke like those Cambridge commie princesses think, but if it's actually possible that a genius could have grown up in Southie of all places? Do you think it's possible that Southie actually could have been home to dozens of prodigies, of all types, not just math? True story.

[@sinogarcon]

Yeah, in hindsignt, they probably should have known. Jack Lemmon too was from Boston, and too was a Harvard alumni. The two connections shared with those two young kids (Affleck didn't attend Harvard, but Damon did, and Affleck has generations of ties with that university). It seems it was the Academy's way of passing the parcel.

ALA during this clip of them going up. Matt is like gung ho! Golly gee whiz these guy couldn't act mature if they tried. Pictuing Joe Blow who has nothing going for them going on stage with no background or presence or anything just hanging out and getting the chance to be with Robin.
