Such a touching tribute to his nephew. Outstanding actor.

[@vtobias2]

His performance on the show was impeccable. His heart was in it and it showed through. Rest In Peace to his Nephew Michael. May this award and the meaning behind it bring some peace to the Keaton family.

[@davidaston5773]

100% correct. I reached 9 months sober today. But I could FEEL every bit of his pain when he dedicated that award to his Nephew who wasn't as lucky as me. He reminds me of my Brother. You NEVER get over how someone who was destroyed by drugs was full of so much light, energy and love. Drugs is like your inner sun being blocked out. 11 years this year. That's 11 years James could've and should've had on this Earth. We MUST have the discussion and not just treat drug addicts as bad people and beyond help. Because their lives mean so much. We must do what we can to prevent their sun from being blocked out forever.

Michael Keaton was fantastic in Dopesick and he deserves all the best actor awards this year.

I'm a current recovering alcoholic. His speech at the end of Dopesick had an impact on me on how I see addiction. When I first watched it, I was in tears because of how much it related to my current struggle. Thank you to Michael Keaton for being vulnerable to us and all involved in that project. You all touched more lives than you know.

He said what needed to be said. He addressed the elephant in the room. We might be entering another WAR and yet here we are (Hollywood) handing out aWARds. However, as human beings for tonight, we can use the distraction. Made sure the viewers around the world know, we do have our priorities in order. Even actors have lost a loved one during this pandemic 😷

distractions are ignorant, and coming from a rich person like him it really has a bitter flavor. don’t get me wrong we all love keaton but most ppl are extremely ignorant and it only gets worse with events like these (breads and circuses)

[@kbanghart]

@@dykerights4263 well part of his point is that, most of us who even have internet access and have the time to post comments on his videos are rich.

[@kbanghart]

You know, I laugh at those who say they hate Hollywood for these award shows, when in reality, every single industry has their own kind of awards in their own way, they're just not all broadcast on tv. But the top producers in every industry make a ton of money and pat themselves on the back just as much as hollywood. In fact, there's thousands who work in Hollywood who don't make a ton of money and do it because they like it.

[@1961DSWilson]

Beetlejuice was so long ago that I always forget that he played that character. Everytime I remember Michael K . played Beetlejuice I realize what a great actor he really is. He can play so many different characters. Does anyone remember Night Shift? That movie was on cable(when there was only cable-no Hulu,Roku,etc.) when I was 13 or so.

It means more when it truly hits home. He basically said, “money leads to addiction, poverty leads to addiction, this is a crap situation where all parties are effected” in other words it was a bridge between the classes. Because there is a HUGE divide. But if we try to help each other we help it to get better overall. Good job Michael, I am proud of you

[@aprilrawls5162]

Michael Keaton was spectacular in Dope Sick! ❤️❤️❤️

[@emileebaker8520]

I'm so glad to see Dopesick get award recognition. As someone who grew up in a rural Ozark town where opioid addiction runs rampant, who has watched close family members become completely different people due to prescription medication abuse, and who has watched the closest families fall apart under the strain of addiction, Dopesick was such an important series for me. I saw my town, I saw my family, I saw my friends. I was reminded of the fact that people profited from this tragedy, that people made money from killing my classmate and from turning my cousin, someone I had basically idolized as a small child, into a person I don't even recognize. However, it also reminded me that there are people who genuinely care and people who are working to hold folks accountable and to actually do some real help.

Michael’s performance in Dopesick is his best work in my opinion. I’ve been sober for 10 years, 10 months, and 7 days. I watched this series, and it was like watching home movies of me in active addiction. Thank you Michael!!!

[@jennifercarney2134]

I lost my son to addiction. To the people that judge him and all of the 104,000 people lost in the last 12 months alone, this can happen to anyone's family, regardless of social status. Don't judge until you have walked in these shoes.

His performance means even more now, knowing how addiction affected his life and family.
