How award season acceptance speeches can make or break your Oscars chances

Brad Pitt accepted his SAG Award for 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' with charm and humor.

In speaking of "community," Phoenix linked himself not only to his fellow actors, but to Academy members who might not consider him part of their club. In mentioning his rivals, he paid them proper respect without diminishing his own stature as the winner. And in drawing attention to the late Ledger, who posthumously won the best supporting actor Oscar for playing the Joker in, he showed he respected history and tradition — both valued by Hollywood.

, while teasing director Quentin Tarantino about his foot fetish: "Seriously, Quentin has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA." He also added the phrase du jour: "I love our community so much."

Most people don't understand Brad's speech. He was referring to his role as Cliff Booth, that was really clear. But if you haven't seen the film, you can't see the context.

'He's using humor to poke fun at a situation, knowing that the industry favors him' ----- What an ignorant bigoted statement to make,there is no humour in what Pitt did using a public platform to ridicule the mother of his 6 minor kids whom he's gaslighting. No humour in abuse!

BradPitt gets to play the victim & golden boy despite being 56 years old & everyone revels in the narrative & no one talks about his alcholic abuse behaviours towards mother & his 6 kids. But he'l get his Oscar. Because Hollywood & America love their white male redemption story.

At least AngelinaJolie had already won all her major awards & Oscar whilst in her 20's, unlike a Pitt 56 whose got the whole industry toeing his PR's line. If he's such a shining light of a character why does he need ridiculous hired media campaigns like yours 2 hammer the point

Why is Academy Member to coward to be named considering he has plenty of personal held bigotry towards AngelinaJolie. She doesn't need any approval from'Harvey Weinstein's Hollywood'.Strong women always are classified as ' unlikeable' same smears happened to Betty Davis,Hepburn

THR misogynistic Smear Campaign to make BradPitt appear a bigger better man,by gaslighting Angelina Jolie,why? Why was there a need to trash her & belittle he,at what cost does this make Pitt look like a gentlemen?Why couldn't stick to being less antagonistic towards Jolie

Brad Pitt is a normal actor..a normal actor gives a normal exceptence speech..but an abnormal actor gives an irrational off the ceiling speech!
