Joaquin Phoenix wins Best Actor | 92nd Oscars (2020)

[@misscypher9857]

I expected this guy to be radiating confidence, but he’s actually a bit shy and awkward. He’s so real.

[@pranavpanicker1120]

He isn't always like this actually. But it really looks natural on him, that's great about him. I think here he was like this as he was thinking about his brother and what could've been....

[@OoxB505]

He doesn’t like awards and awards shows, the Phoenix family don’t put much stock in them. I get the impression Joaquin acts because he genuinely loves it, and he’s mesmerising to watch, one of the best actors working today.

[@kimmolaine8069]

He was pretty much himself in the role too. No matter how much dollars and red carpet gets thrown at you, you can still be miserable / misunderstood. Happily Joaquin respects the art and is in a happier place than a decade ago.

[@Ginab3001]

Seems he does it all in his brother Rain's memory.

[@puppiedollz]

it's called anxiety lol

[@mikael_trashton]

He's shy, introverted, and he's always been open about his insecurities. And he has gone on record saying he is uncomfortable receiving accolades for his work in movies because he considers the filmmaking process to be a collaborative one. He is far more humble person than people view him as.

[@ashokkumarganesan3927]

After Joaquin's performance I seriously can't take Nolan Batman movies seriously. The thing is Ledger portrayed simple one dimensional character while Joaquin had difficulty of showing the journey yet he nailed it better.

[@suikim9194]

@@ashokkumarganesan3927 Joker is more a character study than an comic book movie, like the nolan movies are. So i get after seeing joker those others feel empty. I hope studios learn from this and give us deeper films like joker, instead of those algorithmically written boring superhero movies.

[@marcelalberti7948]

You can see he has social anxiety and somewhat stage fright. Its funny because thats not what a moviestar usually has. I believe thats why he’s such a good actor. His role in the joker was perfect.

Genuinely think this might be the greatest Oscar award speech ever. He didn't talk about the film or role or even himself, but left all ego aside and just straight up told everyone that past all the false glitz and glamour that the reality of the world is injustice and pain and we can all do better and change it to help everyone. Especially directed at the Academy/celebs where everyone is rich and powerful and can directly control/influence a better society - just literally telling them all to do something to help cos he knows they can. What an absolute goat.

[@lowkeyconvert8971]

instead of making this award all about him, he went up and had a clear agenda to use this moment as a platform to voice some real concerns and be a voice for the voiceless. i believe his whole family is vegan including the late river phoenix. he didn't even want to be clapped as it was wasting precious speaking time. the humility of this guy. so unique.

Mr Blaze I thought Adam was amazing too. He is. But after watching Joker, it changed my mind. Joaquin deserved it more than any of the others who were nominated. His character has depth, he does not have to speak, yell or move to show his emotions. His facial expressions could tell it all. Marriage Story is mediocre at best if you compare it to Joker or Pain & Glory.

UK Trainspotter500 yea, i agree

[@MerelvandenHurk]

@@Wirralspotter They were two different Jokers, at different times in their criminal careers too, and both portrayed their individual Jokers the best way imaginable. Ledger's Joker was more calculating, more criminal, more mastermind. Someone who has been living and breathing anarchy for years and years. Phoenix' Joker was a broken man, spat on by society, dealing with some serious mental issues, pushed to breaking point. Ledger's Joker was part of an action movie, Phoenix' Joker is more of a character study. Ledger's Joker was meant to be dangerous, unpredictable, scary. Phoenix' Joker is in my opinion more unsettling, uncomfortable (in the best way), and calls for far more sympathy because of how the movie is set up. And that brings me to the main point: Ledger's Joker was an antagonist in his movie (even though he was definitely its star), Phoenix' Joker is the protagonist of his movie, so the view is completely different. I don't think they deserve to be compared, they're in a class of their own. I adore both portrayals, each without diminishing my love for the other.

[@shijutu]

Leo is a huge fan of River if you didn't know. There's a video somewhere where young Leo is putting on a cap saying ''I look like River!'' I think Leo seeing Joaquin winning that Oscar made him really happy. As another comment was saying, he did indeed see River the night he he passed away but never got to meet him. He said that River looked really pale and he tried following him but he lost him in the crowd. Also I just want to add another thing: River was actually meant to take Leo's biggest role as Jack in Titanic, or at least that's what James Cameron wanted. But sadly River passed away 3 years before the movie started filming, so Leo was the best 'replacement' for River. I recommend you go check out River because he was one talented guy! He'd be standing next to Joaquin today in terms of acting if he had continued with acting.

There should be a documentary made just about this speech. The Phoenixs are first generation Hollywood, they were poor, radical liberals and already vegan by the late 1970s, which was rare. If you ever happen to google early interviews with River as he broke through, and his family, you see he was the driving force for himself and his siblings becoming 'performers' to instigate social and environmental change. River wanted to write songs like John Lennon and be a musician with a message. The kids landed a talent agent and acting was where the money came from. As River developed a love of acting he realised he could utilise his fame for speaking out on causes he believed in (which is what he did consistanty) and use his money to fund environmental and community projects. He was the winner of one of PETAs first humanitarian of the year awards in 1990. The family have always used their famous surname to promote charities and causes. River continued making music, buying acres of first growth rainforrest and donating to social justice causes. For decades Joaquin has followed the same path, narrating environmental documentaries, serving on boards of charity organisations, using his name as a means to activism. The Phoenix family now run the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding, which focusses on restorative justice. Its so touching that Joaquin chose to come full circle by ending his recieving Hollywoods highest accolade (for which both he and River have previously been nominated) with a lyric written by a young River Phoenix, ensuring his message he carried from a little boy was shared with the largest platform imaginable.

he was emotional and kept stuttering at the end because he was taking about his passed away brother 😔😔

There’s a sound clip somewhere of him when he finds his brother ODed and he’s calling the cops freaking out. So sad. It definitely effected him thru his life.

The Joker is the second character ever to win the oscar twice being played by two different actors (Joaquin and Heath Ledger), the first one was Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando and Robert DeNiro), Joaquin should be proud.

[@lickenhuntsman5338]

I am not saying Heath is bad or overrated. But Academy would never give a shit about action or comedy film and he wouldn't have won if not for untimely death.

[@namingisalwaysthehardestpart]

@@lickenhuntsman5338 we can't say for sure what would have happened if he was alive at the time but I still think he would've won, it really was a fantastic scene-stealing performance in a year with not that much competition
