"Can you believe it, I'm here with...[squints at card]...Miiiike Faist." Smoothly done.

[@iluvlafferty]

It's also criminal that Mike is not nominated for an Oscar, yet they allowed 2 actors from Power of the Dog to steal places AND nominated J.K. Simmons who - I'm sorry but it's true - did nothing to earn it for the boring Ricardos movie. Mike Faist deliberately lost weight for the role of Riff (which worried Spielberg) and he researched 1950s street gangs to fully get into character. His efforts should have been rewarded

[@anujpramanik1819]

P.R.E.A.C.H!!! 👏👏👏

[@yossie1217]

YES Thank you !!

[@AngelofMusic04]

Kodi Smit-McPhee deserved the nomination. What he's able to do in the film with his body language is beyond unsettling. That said, I'd have rather Mike be nominated than J.K. Simmons.

[@nediaelifra721]

The supporting actor category is for seasoned actors the last time two men were nominated under 30 is in 2017 Lucas hedges and dev Patel

[@maryvallettakeith6146]

I think it might actually work in his favor. Actors who peak too early tend to fall off the rails and never reach that pinnacle again. Mike will get his Oscar one day and until then, he'll keep giving us the level of excellence we saw from him in WSS.

[@boredstranger7522]

I'm just happy he did WSS instead of the film adaptation of DEH

[@abc92800]

hes so smart

[@neonnights3955]

Yeah, what a great decision. And DEH the film didn't do well at all critically. Yes, smart to turn it down and go for WSS which was so good and Mike was so great in.

[@katetonner8440]

Omg yes thank god lmao

[@paolacontreras4321]

Mike should have won. The film was incredible and I love Rachel zegler. He chose the right date

[@nayelisalexandra1922]

Damn the guy didn’t have anything to ask

[@pb.j.1753]

these questions are quite something lol

[@naniii740]

He is an amazing human being 😍

[@moviefan700]

lol the dude had to look at his notes to remember Mike's name

[@joycekellner9957]

Jerk

[@NancyGooGoo]

He's just everything!

[@abc92800]

anyone watching this, he’ll be in a tennis movie directed by luca guadagnino next! look forward to it.

[@Dia_mant_and_cat]

With Zendaya !!!

[@moon04star]

he’s catching everyone’s eye right now hehe

[@lfgarza]

Mike Feist can do no wrong. I hope he appears in a lot more movies and plays. The interviewer wasn't so talented. There IS an art to interviewing.

[@housing6]

Faist

[@machiii1991]

He is so gorgeous

[@abc92800]

love Mike 😭

[@iluvlafferty]

I was wondering why Rachel got so much attention at the Baftas. She wasn't a nominee or presenter. Also, calling her his 'date' is silly. She's like a little sister to him & the whole cast are close friends. Anyway, Mike Faist should have won. Best supporting actor this year by a MILE. These award shows just copy each other and it's predictable to the point of infuriating.

[@natind.c.5904]

I think ‘date’ means his company or his plus one to the baftas for support. and I agree. he was my fav supporting actor performance of the year. but i’m proud of troy and I think mike has a bright future ahead of him to get even more roles and accolades

[@camerond7654]

I noticed that with most of the speeches the camera at some point would be on Rachel to show her reaction lol

[@iluvlafferty]

@Lady Gaga Yeah I know that. My point is that the uploader said it as if to imply they're more than friendly. There are also childish people on twitter spreading rumors.

[@painted.pink1]

I think it’s because she literally rose to stardom from just ONE movie and it was her first hollywood film too. It’s impressive.

[@idaf3028]

she's the main character and its her first movie ever so like-

[@user-ds3oo5gy6r]

マイクがずっと笑っててとても好印象🥰ウエストサイドストーリーだいすき🥰

[@user-ko8py5jb1q]

Big love from Japan❤️

[@harhar260]

he's so cute!

[@abc92800]

[@stevenwarner8135]

Awesome actor!

[@abc92800]

coming back to this 😿 Mike you were robbed!

[@teresawatson9656]

Mike Faist was incredible!!! Best supporting actor for sure. Ansel first, and Rachel...

[@janebarry-fraundorf4623]

AGREED! ANSEL deserved to be NOMINATED like Mike was, at the VERY least! Even RACHEL was NOMINATED for a Golden Globe, etc.! Ansel was PHENOMENAL in this new 2021 Movie Version and was never even ACKNOWLEDGED, or RECOGNIZED for his STELLAR Performance and efforts, like Mike and Rachel were!! ☹️😥

[@leeallen1787]

Really? Was it FUN?
