[@kimharris3755]

I’m hoping it was just nerves and how huge the moment was.

[@nikkinzy]

I thought I was the only one who caught that...but I also try to give grace and understand that this moment (esp if its your first time winning) is probably a super rush of overwhelming emotion & you also know everything is timed so you're just kind of in the fuzz of the moment. So I can definitely see it being an "in the moment thing" but also am cognizant to know actors can be both steller people behind closed doors or assholes and I don't put it past anyone regardless of talent or if I'm a fan or not. But hoping it was the latter!

@@stridertherangerwoofI prefer actors that do not speak to normal people like they are worthless, I prefer actors that treat regular people with dignity and respect. Mark is a fine actor, but he is absolutely not a kind person. I give respect to those that earn it, he is a very condescending individual and deserves that label as a result of his actions.

[@user-gg3cv6wk2h]

Well deserved. RDJ's portrayal of Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer is spectacular in a way you would never think of Iron man during watching.

[@chillones9574]

I was like hour into movie and I was like wait that RDJ, guy was crushing it.

[@douglasj8823]

So f'ing happy for the guy. Loved him since Less Than Zero, when I was in highschool.

[@Track_id]

In addition, I’d like to remind everyone that the very reason you all enjoy his work and his “wit” and him being so approachable etc is because he did so many drugs in his life time. Did I say this is bad? No, it just is. I am just saying in case you are the majority that like to cast shame on artists for their substance abuse issues, please don’t forget that’s why you actually feel this man, that’s why he is “empathetic” or “talented” in ur eyes. Thank u have a good day

[@jamoe4802]

The whole setup was cringey but RDJ is the man and he has been deserving his whole career.

[@kennedycalderone9608]

I always love how he thanks his wife Susan Everytime he gets an award in any capacity. She truly is his heart and soul and savior in many ways and I love seeing them together😊

He’s a legend! He did an outstanding performance in Oppenheimer. He’s a role model; and for sure a good example that personal redemption does come along way. He deserves all the success possible! Congrats RDJ!

[@yaye584]

How are you all not seeing how rude Rdj was when receiving the trophy? He just passed by Quan didn’t even try to look in the eyes receiving it from him Quan tries to handshake Rdj or whatever, but he just ignores again 5:32. There are so many issues of it already Asian media. It’s crazy and sad no one’s rlly addressing this issue here

[@dollarsaurus01]

Reading way too much into it, he looked back at him on his way the mic. Why do people insist on turning non-issues into controversies?

[@nancyearambula]

Oh, we saw it! It was really rude and not because he was nervous as so many are trying to say... that's a weak excuse.

From less than zero to having an oscar! Wau to go RDJ!!!!

[@gwbarchive]

An incredible man, and a true survivor who has earned his accolades through powerful life lessons, great friends, and most of all the incredible love and patience of Family standing behind him reminding him how talented he is and why his contributions to humanity and his craft have been so meaningful...Cheers also to the Producers for the idea to bring past winners out to the stage to so meaningfully honor each nominee instead of letting them be just a quickly referenced name on a teleprompter or note card. A Brilliant production idea and it should become a permanent addition to the introductions because its heartwarming, educational for the audience about the individuals honored, and very meaningful to the Artist to be recognized and saluted by their peers. Congrats RDJ on a well deserved win!!!

[@wusup9988]

The way he grabbed the trophy from the presenter without any acknowledgement made him look really trashy.

Sure Looks Like That, huh...can't help but wonder why ? 🤔

[@vegitoblue4390]

It looks way bad with Ke coz he did see the other two Kristoff and mahershala for a second and lift his hands like wow guys, he took the Oscar and he didn't even make eye contact with Ke lol, of course he shook hands with the oldest actor Tim and the one he worked with Sam, guess he's like I know these guys well. His Tony stark way of acting in real life made this look bad with Ke. If he really noticed he fucked up there he could talk to Ke afterwards since Ke seemed he did want RDJ to notice him, and tried a couple of times even when they walked back stage, RDJ was too busy with his pals 🤷‍♂️ . I loved RDJ and Ke, this made me a bit uncomfortable to watch 😂

In the last few months, I'd rewatched Chaplin and saw Sr for the first time. I will not disparage his father but suffice to say it really is a miracle that RDJ has gotten to where he is now.

He should’ve won for Chaplin instead of Pacino in scent of a woman

Agreed. In fact, Scent of a Woman ruined Pacino because he started yelling all his lines after that

I thought Denzel should have taken it that year.

The only problem with that is… it was Pacino’s only Oscar, Pacino would have never won… he is my favorite actor, it would hurt to know he never won an Oscar!
