The Academy Awards are voted on by filmmakers, however many different awards given out throughout awards season, just like the Golden Globes, are given out by critics. And that may create some stress. Positive, the critics like this film or this efficiency. However they may not like all the pieces that actor did prior to now. And so they might need made that clear of their evaluations. Like, actually clear.
And so that you get moments just like the one on the Critics Selection Awards, the place Robert Downey Jr. accepted his Finest Supporting Actor prize for Oppenheimer by studying a number of alternative quotes from his critics. (“I really like critics!” Downey hailed as he took the stage.)
Among the many traces he learn from prior evaluations:
- “Sloppy, messy, and lazy”
- “Like Pee-wee Herman rising from a coma”
- “A puzzling waste of expertise”
- “Amusing as a bed-locked fart.”
That final one is especially poetic, so I wished to see who wrote it. Sadly, I couldn’t discover it on-line. (It might be from a broadcast critic and was aired on TV?) Regardless, whoever known as Robert Downey Jr. as amusing as a bed-locked fart ought to step ahead and take a bow. That’s definitely a extra evocative flip of phrase than something in Oppenheimer.

I’ve seen variations of this poke-fun-at-critics-to-their-faces gambit earlier than at awards exhibits and it virtually all the time kills. I’m a member of the New York Movie Critics Circle, and some years in the past, Adam Sandler attended our annual awards to current the Finest Director prize to the Safdie brothers for their work on Uncut Gems. His hilarious presentation included a “confrontation” along with his critics.
