An Oscars producer would even later claim that John Wayne had to be held down because he was so enraged by her presence. The exact validity of that statement is very questionable, but I still think Brando should have at least accompanied her to the ceremony, or, I don’t know, perhaps he could’ve released a statement prior to the evening detailing why he wasn’t attending, rather than just send someone else up there.

Wikipedia: "Navajo author Jacqueline Keeler interviewed Littlefeather's biological sisters Rosalind Cruz and Trudy Orlandi, who say their family does not have Native American ancestry. Keeler writes that the sisters state that their father, who was born in Oxnard, California, was of Mexican descent and had no tribal ties." Brando's stand-in disrespected true Native Americans by falsely claiming to be one.

If its not his statement, then it should not be given in his name, by someone else reporting that it is his statement. Maybe the solution is for Brando to go on a talk show like Dick Cavitt or Phil Donahue and express HIS views at length, and by his side, he can invite some native American advocates. That way he is not hijacking the Oscars and being to chickenshit to do it in person.

I personally think Melissa Leo did about as much as she could. This was supposed to be her moment. The nominees most likely are nervious when the presentation of their category starts. Kirk Douglass just went on and on and on. The audience seemed to find it amusing. So after sitting there on the edge for a bit of time, her name is called. I would be a bit jumbled up following that, trying to give a great speech for something she will most likely never happen to her again. His intentions may have been good, but he did not do any flavors for the winner. The following day, when people were talking about the winners and showing clips, they could not talk about Melissa without talking about Kirk. When recaping Best Supporting Actress, they would mention her name, then spent the rest of the time talking about Kirk and playing cips of him.

It’s sad that all of this hasn’t seemed to knock him off his weird warped pedestal.

I completely disagree Marlon Brando didn't have to speak up for Native Americans when Native Americans for long wanted to voice their concerns about their portrayal themselves. It wasn't properly handled but also because of the response of the audience. I do appreciate though the positive and kind words she said at the end before she walked off stage which garnered applause.

I completely disagree with the James Cameron pick. Yeah, in a vacuum the speech was cringe, but events don't happen in a vaccum. Let's flashback to 1996 and into 1997 when he was in production with Titanic. The film was draining money from the studio as Cameron had gone wildly over budget, not only that but the release date got pushed back from the summer of 1997 to the winter due to post-production running overlong. All of the trades were running stories about how Titanic just might be the biggest box office bomb in Hollywood history. No one was predicting success for Cameron. No one. If Titanic had failed then that would have been it for James Cameron. Instead, it became one of the biggest Hollywood success stories of all-time and a cultural phenomenon the likes of which we hadn't seen since the release of Star Wars two decades earlier. Imagine the stress this guy was under and imagine how huge that wave of relief had to have been when his film, against all the odds, ended up working. It's no wonder why he shout, "I'm the king of the world!" at the end of his speech. In that moment, he probably felt like he was.

I truly feel Kirk Douglas stole Melissa Leo’s moment. It’s already a very nerve wracking and huge event for someone and Douglas wouldn’t stop hogging the mic even when she arrived on stage. Not to mention the creepy comments. By the time she got to actually do her speech she was flustered. Just extremely awkward to watch overall.

When a speech feels longer than it actually is… 🤦🏻‍♂️

In retrospect, Ben’s Affleck’s thanking his ex wife, was not particularly heartfelt or truthful. Seemed like when he said, “It’s work….” Then he tries to make up for that but saying, “But it’s good work and there’s no one else I’d rather do it with.” They divorced soon after. Now he’s in the verge of the second divorce. So Benny needs to just stay single and enjoy himself.

He didn’t even bother thanking the Academy, family members back at home, the cast, the crew, God, among several others. It was like he was sending everybody a message.

Yeah, I really need to hear for the umpteenth time someone is thanking god, Karen, Chip, Dale and whoever else is on their boring list. You can't possibly thank everyone by name anyway. What is your problem exactly? That a very famous actor used his platform to talk about issues he finds worthy of addressing? There's no better platform than the Oscars. Weird how this is the worst Oscar speech for you but not some other political speech (and there are pleeeenty in recent years). People be hating vegans forever.

Titanic lost in both its acting categories, so its overall victory wasn't a sweep. As for Will Smith, he should've been escorted off the premises during the next commercial break and gotten his award in the mail, with no one being allowed at the ceremony to accept on his behalf. The Oscars, long in decline by that point, destroyed their last shred of credibility that night.
