Silvers Rayleigh elaborate

Do colored people really need to hear speech that is about racial EVERY YEAR...I feel like the more you talk about it the more 'uncomfortable' those colored people feel...it's like they always get this kind of 'sympathy' from white people...yeah I mean 'sympathy'. Award ceremony, like BAFTA and Oscar, are responsible to choose the BEST, not the color...so don't blame Oscar, don't blame BAFTA...In fact, it is the 'film industry' (Warner Brother, SONY, PARAMOUNT, Disney, etc) who should give equal chance to men and women, black and white and yellow.

the best actor there is .. Daniel Day Lewis

ALBUMOF2008 these people say these banal political speeches, only to be the worst offenders. You know shortly after his golden globes speech talking about leaving less of a carbon footprint by using air travel less, he took a plane to a climate change protest. Not to mention most of these people have been complicit in letting sexual predators, and worst of all pedophiles run wild in the film industry. Not to mention the nominations and winners are decided by Hollywood itself basically, so all the awards are really just them patting themselves on the back. There’s also the fact that most of these people have done shitty things to their families in part because of their careers, seeing how divorce is quite rampant in the film industry. These people are cancerous, not brave or empathetic.

This dude clearly has anxiety and still delivered a great speech. 💯

Sounded more like virtue signalling rather than sincerity to me.

Winging his Wokeness Bullshit you mean.

Definitely a prepared speech. He's an actor. He was looking for ways to remember his lines throughout.

It surely did and back when it first happened people thought he was bullshitting. A lot didn't want to believe black people were still treated differently and look what got exposed in the last 2 months 🤷🏾‍♀️ We been saying all along and white people that decided to stand up like Phoenix was treated like a black person. I wonder how many people looked back and feel ashamed of how they dismissed his speech.

What honesty? He won an award for giving a great performance. Mahershala Ali had won two in three years. So did Regina King. Viola Davis, and on and on. This is just stupid

My High School Spanish Teacher Look at how long it took them to win something like these awards when white actors/actresses win them with no little to no effort that’s his point or atleast a piece of what he’s describing here!

@@lesternapoleongreen7543 it is pretty recent that These people have won. It is still something to think and to be aware of. That is why I love Joaquin, he is self aware, he is not afraid to be responsable for problems that we ourselves cause and for his point of view. This is how to be mature and a truly adult.

@@Wavy_Godd96 that's false. Only in the last 3 decades has there been an insurgency of more and more black actors and actresses in the film industry. It's always been white dominated not for racial prejudice but because mostly white people went to school for acting. Virtually every year now many people of color deservedly win awards or are nominated for great performances. Hattie McDaniel won an Academy Award in 1939. Then two decades later it was Sydney Portier. Now, it's Denzel, Whoopi, Octavia, M'onique, Jennifer Hudson, Halle Berry, Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, Lupita Nyong'o, Forrest Whitaker, Mahersala, Cuba Gooding Jr., etc. Etc. Etc.....I could go on and on. And the list of nominees of color, not just black, would look like a book of scrolls if I spent the time to post. To say there is systemic racism in an industry where the very actors and actresses who are in the industry are the very people ANONYMOUSLY VOTING would discredit Joaquin's "brave" (mainstream) bullshit statement

I can’t believe a lot of people didn’t know who he was before joker 🤦‍♂️

He does a lot of work with animal rights advocacy groups. He spent the day today prior to awards hanging a huge banner in London, to raise awareness for factory farming and how it is needlessly cruel, and negatively impacts the environment. It's not just talk with Joaquin, it's action.

Yes even I think so and it’s cz of him he choose acting so I think he will mention him and ppl are gonna cry me too can’t wait for jt

I REALLY HOPE HE DOES!

I really hope so.

I don't know. I was thinking about this allot, too. I think it's going to be too painful for him. Not being able to hug him and look him in the eyes and sharing this with him in a more realistic dimension. It's also incredibly private and intimate so if he will mention him it'll be a surprise for me at least. He co acted with River as Joker, you have to see it to believe or understand but it's true.

I am hoping the same thing as well. I was in tears when he acknowledged Heath at SAG. Although, that alone seemed so difficult for him to do. So him speaking of his beloved brother...idk...as I said...hoping he does.💞

Well just like Joaquin said before, the Academy Awards are bullshit. And I strong agree that it is.

Alfred Santos I THINK HE WILL HONEY BUT SOMETIMES HOLLYWOOD IS SHADY I AM PRAYING HE IS JUST TALENTED 🙏😘

Picture/Director/screenplay categories would be interesting though.

They don’t want to give him and Oscar because they’re afraid of what he will say

Will Rogers the people who vote for the Acting portion of the Oscars are all Actors and Actresses. Most are SAG members and he already won the SAG, so I’m sure he’ll win the Academy Award.

He's really shy and hates being in front of big crowds

I think he’s really shy

Just one more after this

😅😅😅

He has anxieties and he and I share the same type, so does Bill Hader; when you're that scared, your body shuts off to give your mind a chance to deal with what's bothering you and so it looks like exhaustion or someone being a bit sick on the outside but believe me your entire system is as awake as it can be inside. It's the 'flight' response on the 'fight or flight' scale, and it means nothing about how strong a person is. It just means that an introvert would react to trauma and distress the same way he reacts to everything else: taking it in and internalizing.

Last year all the major awards went to black films, writers, directors, producers actors apart from two.

@@oliviakirby1409 soooooo, one year of this and that should be good enough, right?

@@FuzzySoulTiger No, it wasn't " one year of this and that", it's been going on for 3 years straight. Also, how can you prove that the Oscar judges excluded films with black artists because of racism? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Maybe it didn't occur to you that films with black actors in 2019 weren't good enough to qualify?

@@FuzzySoulTiger No, this has been going on for years now. Moreover, it's not a zero sum equation. Here's a thought, instead of whining about non existent discrimination, how about you make better products? Affirmative action is just a validation of mediocrity.

Would have carried a lot more weight if he'd refused the very award he then threw in BAFTA's face. Doesn't exactly ring all that sincerely.

@@bradtorville5526 He dressed up to come to the ceremony. He's honoured to be amongst the talented. He's pointing out how alot of other talent is missing in the industry and from said ceremony. Hell he actually forgot the award and was reminded about it. It was more important for him to be able to address the people. All because he's a great actor. We call these people true role models. To discredit him just because he accepted the award would return the playing field to the status quo. It would depower his speech and make it so people of colour continue to go unrecognized in the industry. It's almost as if you need him to be your idea of perfection and if he's not then we might as well have the people he's trying to help suffer because "no one is perfect so maintain the status quo and let them continue to suffer". You didn't say all of that just now right? I mean you're essentially saying he just lied on stage and that his actions don't coincide with his words because he simply accepted an award that he deserves. The way a logical person who really wants to see change would see it is as follows: The winner of the award used his award ceremony platform to shed light on a problem that even undermines and devalues the award that was granted to him. He accepted the award for being good, but also for being privileged and he even said he was troubled by it. That is the message. Spinning it some other way says more about you then it does about him.

I wouldnt be suprised honestly. Oscars are very local and ...American. So considering the speeches he has been delivering, I wouldnt be suprised if they decide not to give it to him.

AiakidesMythos nah he has it locked and voting already stopped long time ago

Copyright Issue, I assume. Blame YT for that...

BBC still has it as joker theme, sounds so much better than whatever this is.

Yeah I dunno if he is totally correct with this

They need to choose people based on their own merit and hard work, regardless of how they look - I think he's saying they shouldn't ignore professionals just because they're not white.

Yutz you obviously didn't listen properly to what Joaquin said, because you felt some type of way 🙄

motionshadow that's exactly what Joaquin said. He's saying it's insulting to people of colour to get a free 'ticket' just based on their skin tone and that people really need to take a hard look within, so they can see if they are playing a part in systematic racism in regards to the and nominations. In short, the BAFTAs are still institutional racist.

motionshadow no worries. I appreciate your thoughts on the matter,and I agree with what you just mentioned 👍

Yeah, as a white person myself, I really admire this speech as what I think is a great example of genuine allyship! (not that I'm an authority on that.) He wasn't using the platform to be self aggrandizing, and it didn't come across at all as though he was trying to speak for or over people of color, which can sometimes be the case. Instead, he acknowledged himself as part of the system that's the problem as well, and said "we ALL, collectively, as white people, need to step up and work to right these wrongs that have left people of color at a disadvantage while benefiting us." This isn't revolutionary or something particularly deserving of massive amounts of praise given that it's what people of color have been saying forever- but it IS something far too rarely reiterated and reaffirmed by white people, especially white people who have a platform, so I do respect Joaquin a lot for using his platform to step up :)

@@stephaniel2850 People of Colour has to be the worst term in history of mankind to be honest.

@@augustusfreeman4032 I hate it too, I cringe whenever a white person says that.

@@augustusfreeman4032 Honestly, I just find it useful as a term to cover discussion about anyone who society determines to be "not white". I think some people seem to conflate it with being afraid to say "black people" or something, but I think that misses the point that it's meant to highlight how there are MANY people who are deemed "not white" and who face various barriers due to that fact. Obviously if we're talking about issues specific to black people, I'd say "black people", "latino people" if it's issues particular to Latin American people, etc. :) (also, for the record, I use that term because it's the term I've personally heard non-white people use in these conversations- I would certainly not presume to be the determiner of what the label should be!)

There is no such thing as 'white' or 'male' privilege.

Saying what he said meant more to him than the award - would be my take from that.

He was probably so anxious that he just forgot. Easy to do when your brain is going 100 miles an hour
