Nick Kroll & John Mulaney's Opening Monologue at the 2017 Film Independent Spirit Awards

[@Nimbus487]

I love how Matt Damon always seems like he's just happy to be there

i didnt get it and feel dumb

[@a1ntcry1noveru]

Josh Dun basically that Shia doesn’t seem the type to take care that the inside of his car is neat. he’s a mess, and doesn’t have his shit together, and the interior of his car, as a reflection of this, is probably really messy and disorderly, with junk everywhere. Lmao, it’s a super specific everyday example that no one would ever think of, but also probably true which makes it hilarious like “ oh, you know, you’re probably right about that”

[@adamprince5547]

give them the globes next year and the oscars after that

[@Ou8y2k2]

Yeah, Kimmel was kinda shit this year.

[@caseypeanuts3222]

Adam Prince they'd be great at the globes. The weirdness of it would totally work for them, especially as a duo. The oscars is too mainstream for them to host all of, it's not their audience. I do think they could be killer presenting at the oscars though.

[@victorenrique1019]

He's very self-conscious about the way he does stuff. He's an impeccable actor, but I think that's sadly due to his insecurities and to some extent due to his relationship with his mother, afaik she's an authoritative person. Regardless, anyone can tell that his craft is meticulously perfected. Love the guy.

[@victoriamorgan7188]

@@victorenrique1019 Well ok, then.

[@unequalledflame]

The thing he does at 1:16, where he scratches under his eye and his mouth falls open -- would you say that was planned and rehearsed? (I'm leaning towards yes, though I'm not certain.)

[@ughust]

@@unequalledflame i would definitely say its rehearsed. Actors will think about little things and ticks their character might decide to do to add to the scene, and the jaw drop and scratching helps the delivery of his line be percieved as carelessness hiding anxiety - "its a lateral move 😬" and then the throw of the hand. Its genius. It couldve been rehearsed or also added in at that moment but it works for the delivery of the line and makes it just a tad more funnier :)
