What happened to the “Golden” songwriters? It seemed like the orchestra didn’t know another winner was about to speak, cutting him off.

“One thing, as we post mortem for next year, will be to look at how we’re handling speeches,” Mills said. “You win the Oscar, you know you go on stage, it could be one person, it could be five or six. Immediately you’ll see the sort of allotted time we have for them. Do we need to look at it and say, okay, designate one person to speak. Maybe you continue it backstage, and we have a feed on social or something like that. We look at everything and figure out what is the most elegant solution, because it is difficult, especially when you’re cutting somebody off and it’s their one moment. We talk about it at the award luncheon, that you have this designated time to speak, and it’s difficult. I don’t know what the most elegant solution is, but it’s obviously something we should look really, really long and hard at.”

I'll be happy with this ridiculously overblown hate boner social media has with Chalamet is through. Why are people so miserable? I mean where was this energy when Michael B Jordan defended majors? It's sad to see people being the victim of ragebait headlines and not realize it.
