TIFF Tribute Gala Taika Waititi | TIFF 2019

[@samspotz8r8s]

I love every time taika is supposed to give a speech or interview because he’s such a flying nightmare every single time

[@RosablueHandMade]

Guillermo and Taika are a match made in heaven. Angels both.

[@haechanverse]

Guillermo del Toro, Taika Waititi, and Bong Joon-Ho. The trio we need but don't deserve

[@johnvanderhoef]

If this were anybody else, I would say they were drunk. But this is Taika. This is just how he is. Beautiful.

[@connormcrae2907]

Vanderblade it could be both 😂😂

[@AliMarie022]

Yeah I love the guy but I'm quite confident he's a bit trashed here lol

[@crankyturtle9704]

My friend this man is wasted.

[@pia91]

@@crankyturtle9704 and still brilliant and to the point which is a fucking feat tbf 😂

[@buffy.s5222]

There are no words to describe how I adore this man. He is so talented, witty, self confidence and yet so humble. Just look how nervous and touched he is in here. I loved him even before Thor. MCU was the best thing that happened for his career becouse now many people can know him and experience his work. Taika is one of a kind. He deserves much more recognision. I hope he will have a greate future in filmmaking industry. He has very specific sanse of humour but he also has a greate talent in showing big drama and tragedy in a ridiculous comedy. I hope he will recive an Oscar one day (for directing or screenwriting) - he deserved this already, and I think he will proof that to Hollywood very soon. Taika is a visionary director. No doubt ;)

[@samspotz8r8s]

Nervous, touched and...very drunk and or high 😂

[@jskd2953]

The ONLY fucking marvel movie I lowered myself to go watch was Thor and it was solely because of Taika Waititi... a truly unique and eccentric talent. Look forward to JoJo Rabbit and All his future endeavours.

[@katiemadden4386]

Buffy Summers He’s been nominated for Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars! Couldn’t be happier for him, I hope he wins it ❤️😄

[@sausausaule]

*visionist director

[@benjamintillema3572]

Wait no more. He won Best Screenplay!

[@diddo9338]

the reactions of the woman behind him are priceless

[@lipglossthroughmyveins2399]

Chaz Ebert, Roger Ebert's widow.

[@lorenx6650]

His chaotic energy is incredible and so infectious , I love it

[@SomethingSomewhereJustOnce]

I think I've solved the mystery of recasting Jack Sparrow. Get Taika Waititi for the reboot.

[@slightlyfiction]

So funny, I had the same thought.

[@savedbygrace.slowedreverb]

Well .... that is An idea.

[@kittymillar6836]

that’s a really good idea wow

[@jessica5497]

Wow, your mind...

[@isabelle8284]

Having watched nothing but Our Flag Means Death for the last few days, this comment aged very well.

[@issiewizzie]

Him and Jeff golblum are the ultimate eccentrics

[@krumpoboing1404]

I don't think I'm exaggerating here, when I say that if he continues to create such full spectrum comedy, then one day he'll be mentioned in the same breath as Chaplin

[@savedbygrace.slowedreverb]

Uuuhh .. aight I guess it's not impossible

[@worrywirt]

The unbrindled chaotic energy radiating from this man keeps me alive

[@pheejeypi8522]

*_A perfect man doesn't exis-_*

[@lyndasutherland6165]

He's so naughty, mic-drops! Most people in Aotearoa/New Zealand love Taika and his film-making is genius. Hunt for the Wilder people was utterly hilarious for us, because it had lots of in-jokes and it sent-up our loathsome right-wing Government at that time. And yes, he is humble, lots of Maori and Pacifica folk are; being a tall-poppy is a tough and scary prospect. Thanks Canada for recognising and celebrating him :-) Arohanui

[@worrywirt]

Guillermo del Toro’s speech cracked me up so much, I love both of them with all my heart

[@eastchchkea6475]

He's right. We don't really like compliments in nz

[@23wiski]

East CHCH Kea exactly why we don’t like showboaters they soon get cut down. On the flip side it means we don’t appreciate our stars like we should. Eg. Jonah Lomu

[@TheILoveScotch]

Tall poppy syndrome

[@lucamolta]

ahhhhh i love Guillermo del Toro what a beautiful writer

[@Paleos1000]

Improv. Anarchic and somewhat confusing. Jojo is a gentle, bitter-sweet story, skilfully told. Worth a watch.

[@iluvugoldenblue]

somewhere a poor, struggling, up and coming writer spent all night typing up the greatest speech ever for that teleprompter...

[@savedbygrace.slowedreverb]

Yo that lady in the back is going through allllll the emotions. Pretty sure she was silently pleading for help the entire time. Every sentence he says, she has a new face 🤣 I'm dead

[@lipglossthroughmyveins2399]

Chaz Ebert, Roger Ebert's widow.

[@muffin47gal12]

Congrats Taika on the win.

[@Sammy-lj5dm]

That woman behind Taika is like what are you doing. She almost looks annoyed

[@ShannonWinston73]

She's Chaz Ebert, the widow of Roger Ebert, of which that award is renamed after.

[@JohnDoe-tm9wz]

It's possible the mics just weren't picking it up.

[@adolfopena7358]

@@moldypizza People were laughing at Taika's jokes, though.

[@coolkidscarclub]

The delivery. He didn't set up the punch lines

[@davidleedutton]

Forget the Oscar, I'd rather have the Ebert Golden Thumb Award.

[@coolkidscarclub]

That intro was perfect.

[@tonystarkdeservedbetter]

He's literally so precious wtf 😭😭

[@thousandfarenheit]

That’s my visionistical boy!

[@canyildiz5966]

that wad the best mic drop ever

[@saulgoodmanshellokittyphone]

Not Taika calling Guillermo del Toro “cabrón” in perfect spanish 😭

[@harlinaindra6679]

I love what he is wearing... tuxedo/kimono with a semi belt ?

[@frazzyblue1384]

This is the most chaotic acceptance speech I’ve ever seen and should be used for him to get an ADHD diagnosis 😂 (speaking as a neurospicy person myself)

[@ays162]

I love this man. Love.

[@aislingbolton793]

The women behind Taika did not appreciate his humour 😂😂

[@lazyliam7402]

"Long Live New Zealand!" haha

Long live New Zealand.

[@ktsb1563]

Guillermo and Taika are my otp

[@lipglossthroughmyveins2399]

I need more of the chaotic duo of Waititi/Del Toro

[@IEGI]

He's right. We feel uncomfortable and awkward when people give us compliments lmao

[@mereanawi6194]

Funniest acceptance speech I've seen by far

[@URIBENFILM]

Just a reminder, this guy will have starring role in the new Suicide Squad from James Gunn

[@ohtrueyeahnah]

Imagine if Jeff Goldblum and Taika Waititi found Babidis Potara Earrings and fused together.

[@nem447]

not drunk at all

[@crunchydinkens2824]

Let's be honest... You would never think the way Taika talks and acts in a lot of his interviews could produce such amazing pieces of filmography the world has seen in some time. Very VERY unique style he has ... which I love.

[@gringopablo]

Que hace el Chino Darín atrás? jaja. En realidad si sé. Están presentando "LA ODISEA DE LOS GILES" ahí en el festival de Toronto. HEROIC LOSERS (english)

[@JohnDoe-tm9wz]

El chino la tiene adentro

[@levishort4924]

dude the lady standing behind Taika just isnt getting it

[@gajendrayadav6186]

Levi Short I guess that comes from her being Roger Ebert’s wife, the person the award is named after. 😂

[@1997residente]

Como argentino,me da envidia y admiro que el Chino Darin este cerca de grosos como Del Toro y Waititi. As an argentinian,I envy and admire that Chino Darin is near cool guys like Del Toro and Waititi.
