RDJ being dragged for ignoring Ke Huy Quan

Perhaps he was perplexed of why Jackie Chan was grinning so hard and didn’t want to offend.

RDJ doesn't know this guy. Tim Robbins and Sam Rockwell are personal friends of his so of course he went to shake their hands. He ignored Christoph Waltz too.

This shows RDJ's real character. He only thinks about himself and drugs. Sad.

I also think about cock! Don't tell Susan!

No one's calling out Jennifer Lawrence for snatching the award from Michelle Yeoh and handing it to Emma Stone.

Cate should have snatched that Oscar out of Michelle's hand last year.

He was probably just nervous, and or coked to the gills.

Ke Huy Quan is a sweetheart of a man, but he's too soft and normal for this awful business. They're all assholes.

[quote]Why does everything have to be analyzed and picked apart?

I recently watched Julie Andrews' 1965 Oscar win on YouTube and some commenters thought it was rude and racist that she didn't hug/kiss presenter Sidney Poitier, who had won the previous year.

R7 RDJ doesn’t do any narcotics anymore.

Even worse RDJ asked Ke Huy if his dry cleaning was ready.

R8 It may have been against television codes for opposite races to hug back then. And that’s no cap. America was truly fucked up like that. It’s why we have so many race issues today.

This is what happens when you have so many presenters on stage, I knew it was a bad idea to bring this format back. You just won the friggin' Oscar but can't even enjoy the moment because you have to make sure to shake hands with and smile the appropriate amount of time at each presenter, maybe even crack a little joke. It's all too much.

Ho Lee Fuk!

R2 you don’t need to personally know the person presenting you with the award to acknowledge them. Many winners weren’t close friends with the person presenting but they still shake their hand or even hug them. People like you are a big problem, always defending bad behavior.

Like someone said, RDJ can learn from his costar Cillian Murphy. Classy. He went to each of the 5 actors and shook their hand. That’s how you do it. You don’t ignore them, not even looking their way, ESPECIALLY the one handing you the award.

Enough is enough.

I also ignore Ke Huy Quan every chance I get.

R11 Anne Bancroft hugged/kissed Poitier when he won the year before.

Robert Downey Perry.

R13 😂. Love you.

R16 oh ok. I just know things were very different during that time. When Hattie McDaniel won her Oscar she couldn’t enjoy the caviar and lobster tails with her fellow cast mates . She had to eat her friend chicken, collards, and black eyed peas at a separate venue.

They are on Twitter.

I love how Sally tried desperately to intervene!

Honestly, Anne Bancroft always came across as warm and affectionate while Julie has always seemed chilly. Plus, back in those days, it was the norm to just shake hands. People weren't as kissy kissy and demonstrative as they are now.

I don’t care but wanted to post thanks to the OP’s that gave us oscar wrap ups. I miss the joan rivers show - the reviews of the clothing. That became my Oscars.

When I said in the recent "Oscar Party" thread that I don't watch these broadcasts anymore, I wasn't kidding. This thread just reaffirms my decision to make better use of my time.

R19, you do understand that there many changes in the US between 1940 and 1965. Something called the rights movement which involved many famous Hollywood celebs of that time.

R25 Your point. You can’t tell me a thing about the civil rights movement. Hollywood was still treating blacks like 2nd class citizens in the early 60s.

I think RDJ was thrown off balance when Ke Huy Quan said "No tickee, no Oscar!"

When RDj picked up the award I thought he rudely ignored KHQ. I assumed it was less about race and more about arrogance around celebrity pecking order. Poor KHQ was so genuinely excited, but RDJ acted like a haughty dick.

I didn’t see the JLaw move until looking at the linked X video. What a bitch!

I love it when celebs get dragged. They have so much money, let them squirm for a bit here and there.

I love a haughty dick!

R28 Maybe because they saw him do that whole schtick last year and it’s now a year later and they’re like why is this cunt still fangurling. He is so fkin annoying. In fact everyone who won last year was annoying as fuck, but it made it humorous. It was like the Revenge of the Nerds Oscar season.

r20 Those two clips are brutal. Unless you're doing a bit, there's no reason to ignore them like that. And they both just won an Oscar last year, for fuck sake!

Are the bi rumors of Robert true?

Ask his former cellmates.

RDJ has always been an arrogant prick.

Yes, Sidney Poitier getting his Oscar is definitely not being treated like a second class citizen in 1964. I can’t think of one black actor today who is as big a star as Poitier was in the early/mid 60s.

Sum. Ting. Wong.

Two years ago RDJ and Emma Stone used to go around NYC with masks on beating up old Asian women. Not surprised in the slightest.

RDJ obviously lascist.

RDJ puts on that Tony Stark persona in public. He's very different off camera.

R36 you are a whataboutism ho. Several things can be true at once.

Weird not to display basic good manners, especially on camera.

Ke Huy who? He's Charlie Nobody!

Julie Andrews comes across as crisp and frosty until she breaks into song, which is one reason I love her. If someone needs a hug, they can try Julie Walters.

You're on the clock from the moment your name is called......

R40 How so. He reminds me so much of my screenwriter professor I listed after. He had such an intense energy I could never tell if he was gay or not.

Lusted*

R28, seeing Jennifer Lawrence behave without an ounce of class is never a surprise.

I was disappointed that Sissy Spacek, who was in attendance with her nominated husband Jack Fisk, was not included in the Best Actress presentation. She is every bit as talented as Jessica Lange and Sally Field, but doesn't get the same amount of recognition these days.

Asian names are so funny, aren’t they, R13 and R37?

Quan is a fucking weasel. One of the worst choices EVER in ANY Oscar category. RDJ knows what’s up.

[quote] No one's calling out Jennifer Lawrence for snatching the award from Michelle Yeoh and handing it to Emma Stone.[/quote]

Watching the video, I'm GLAD that Jennifer Lawrence did that.

That greedy bitch wouldn't let go of the Oscar, which she should have handed to Emma right away!!

It's bizarre that she kept holding on to it.

Jennifer Lawrence 100% did the right thing, and you can see that Emma was actually relieved that she did it.

Go back and watch the video again.

Fuck what Twitteridiots are sayiing.

Jennifer was correct.

Not to defend JLaw but her thrusting the Oscar at Emma reads more like "Get on with business, I'm sick you won again!"

Haha R51 you're right, Michelle wouldn't hand it over despite Emma having her hand on it. Well done JLaw

Wow, that really was pretty bad on RDJ's part. Have the decency at least to look him in the eye and smile a bit. I lost a little bit of respect for him there.

I've never had respect for Jennifer Lawrence, on the other hand.

If RDJ had pulled that stunt in prison he would have gotten shanked.

RDJ was still pissed that Kimmel brought up his druggie past.

Why didn't Julie Andrews show up last night to specially hug Ke Huy Quan?

I'll tell you why: RACISM.

Emma and Downey Jr. knows that Yeohs and Quans wins last year were a joke, considering their competition in their respective categories blew them out of the water acting wise. That’s why they focused their attention on the more deserving winners from the past. Everything Everywhere All At Once will go down in the annals of Oscar victory as the years wear on as the biggest wtf were they thinking by voting for this piece of shit.

Robert should have slapped Jimmy's face off!

Is Robert the only Oscar winner who has done time?

Sean Penn has been in jail for assault once or twice.

Simmer down R58, no one voted you arbitrator of "Everything Everywhere All At Once"! People loved it, the Academy loved it. You didn't, get over yourself.

It doesn’t come across as rude. It’s definitely aloof but no ill intent. RDJ reminds me of quart a bit of former junkies myself included. We can get on autopilot because we have lasting effects of hyper alertness or sensitivity. It’s something. Anyone else know what I am talking about?

R58 is 100% correct!

He didn’t ignore him.. he asked what time the buffet was open until that night

[quote]Ke Huy Quan is a sweetheart of a man, but he's too soft and normal for this awful business.

Ke Huy Quan dumped his longtime reps at a boutique agency (Innovative Artists) for a much larger agency (UTA) as soon as he won the Oscar. So, I wouldn't exactly call him a sheep amongst the wolves. He has no loyalty either.

R62 I’ll shout it from the rooftops if I want. The movie is amateurish, incoherent, and horrible. The Academy has also picked other bad films as best picture and ignored far superior work so don’t cite them like they’re some metric of a movies worth.

I don't care WHY he may have done it, it was unspeakably rude. I noticed it immediately Quan just stood there baffled. Robert didn't even seem to notice him. He could have taken his statue off a fucking shelf.

So what if he knew the other guys? A stranger gives you something and you can't even smile nod and say, Thank you! Fuck him. i"m over him. Oh. And his acceptance speech. You'd have thought he was the lead character, ' the way Chris Nolan built that whole cast around him to make him feel safe...' Robert is insufferable.

RDJ JR : We star in Lost motion picture. We sta’

More lies from the "former" junkie.

You're a disgusting meth addict.

Jennifer LAwrence and Emma Stone are friends. In their personal lives. They hang out. I think Emma was at JLaw's wedding.

Now Quan knows how his "boutique agency" feels, after he dumped them!

Quan will go right back into obscurity. He's halfway there now. Last year's EEAAO oscar wins will go down as bigger jokes than "Crash," Jennifer Hudson, and Al Pacino winning for the worst performance he ever gave.

Robert is insufferable and smug. I never liked the watery-eyed impish little junkie. Never.

R16 Bancroft and Poitier worked together in 1965s A Slender Thread

R70 Bitch how da fuck u gon tell me my mafuckin drug of choice. I never have used meth like that maybe 3 times total in life. Why the fuck would someone being jealous of not being an addict. You want this? What institution did your parents raise you in?

Robert was completely lacking in grace. Quan ending his relationship with his agency was a business decision in no way comparable to the rude callous egotistical behavior of someone who has just been given an award, and can't even smile and thank the presenter.

It must be hard getting up there in front of the world, I cut him some slack.

Nominees should remind themselves to acknowledge everyone presenting the award though, just on the off chance they win. Taylor Swift was similarly guilty of not acknowledging Celine when she handed her a Grammy a few weeks ago.

[quote] Bitch how da fuck u gon tell me my mafuckin drug of choice. I never have used meth like that maybe 3 times total in life. Why the fuck would someone being jealous of not being an addict. You want this? What institution did your parents raise you in?—Teacake

Oh boy, Teafuck must really be having a manic episode. He's going full stereotype on us now. I think he stole that speech from an episode of Good Times where Sweet Daddy Williams gets some bad blow.

Perhaps he was raped by an Asian man in prison and the sight of Quan was triggering.

R79

Siempre te querré. Pero nunca aprenderás a amarme si no vives tú mismo.

Maybe he ate some bad Peking duck the night before.

Makes me wonder how Robert treats the help?

[quote] Siempre te querré. Pero nunca aprenderás a amarme si no vives tú mismo.—Teacake

Morrir pronto, Adicta a la metanfetamina.

I hear Robert is very generous with his bodyguards.

"Me love you long time Robert!"

Why is Long Duk Dong presenting me with the Oscar?

R75. Slender Thread came after Sidney's Oscar win.

R88 the film was probably completed by the time Poitier won his Oscar. Plus I think Sidney and Anne knew each other from their Broadway connections. Sidney was nominated for a Tony before his Oscar win.

LILLIES OF THE FIELD was released in October 1963.

Poitier won the Oscar in April 1964.

THE SLENDER THREAD was filmed in June/July 1965 and released in December of that year.

[quote]Plus I think Sidney and Anne knew each other from their Broadway connections.

R89 Julie Andrews was also part of the Broadway scene in the late '50s/early '60s.

R8, It was 1965.

R60, Luckily, yes.

[quote]That greedy bitch wouldn't let go of the Oscar, which she should have handed to Emma right away!! It's bizarre that she kept holding on to it[quote]

Yeoh explained on Instagram that she wanted to hand it to Jennifer ti give to Emma as they are friends.

R90 I stand corrected, but they still didn’t film any scenes together. For all we know, they could’ve filmed their scenes separately in June and July.

R91 Julie says in her autobiography that the gossip columns were trying to make up an affair with Poitier after her win, but the only time they crossed paths was when he handed her her Oscar.

Even the gossip columnists knew she'd rather be stepping out with Dorothy Dandridge than Sidney Poitier.

the format as stated above is a non starter..... it's as though the winner has to make his way through a reception line.

the intros could be pretentious and self serving at times.

you wish one of them would have just said..... " I 've thought for years you were a complete hack......"

I'm sure his best friend, Mel Gibson, can introduce him to 29 new anti-Asian racial slurs. What a pal!

The format seemed to work better in 09. Even the intros were better by the five former winners. Last night it just kind of felt flat and perfunctory. And having last years winner championing another nominee, while reading someone else’s name as the winner just feels strange and off. I know they’re trying to goose the ratings by doing this, but it’s probably better saved for anniversary shows that end in 5 and 0. Better yet, have last years winner walk out after the salute by the five former winners and open the envelope.

Robert's defense of Mel Gibson is actually an example of his loyalty. Gibson helped Robert out when he hit rock bottom.

yes, R99......

last years winner championing another nominee, while reading someone else’s name as the winner just feels strange and off

Emma Stone was on something last night. She looked to be coked up. There are vids of her backstage last night running around and acting like a fool. Even her husband seemed embarrassed by her behavior.

Did everyone miss the pics of Quan and RDJ hugging back stage? Posing for photographers with RDJ's arm around his shoulders? I think it was the moment of shock and trying not to forget to thank everyone.

[quote] Emma and Downey Jr. knows that Yeohs and Quans wins last year were a joke

Among others.

I don't know why, but Ke looks like the Asian Stephen Colbert in OP's photo.

Hollywood ending

Link, r102?

She was backstage and someone told her they were about to give the award for Best makeup (i think?) for which her movie was nominated, and when she realized that, she ran back to her seat so she could be there when it was announced, in case it won. It did.

She was in the bathroom when Poor Things won three awards. Sniff, sniff.

[quote] last years winner championing another nominee, while reading someone else’s name as the winner just feels strange and off

Not to mention that most of them didn't really mean it.

The introductions seemed insincere, especially when they were reading directly from the teleprompter.

Charlize Theron was by far, the worst. She didn't even get Diana Nyad's name right.

It’s certainly possible that he was overwhelmed and meant no disrespect.

How can he be overwhelmed? What’s RDJ got 20 awards just from this season. Not sure if nominees even needed to be announced. Just have him walk up there and get it.

He should have won for Chaplin. It was long overdue.

Roberto es pinche cabron...puto.

Will they ever tell his life story on film?

To be fair, Hollywood ignored Ke Huy Quan for 30 yrs.

[quote]Will they ever tell his life story on film?

That film is for the AVN Awards.

Psssst, just so you know, it isn’t “people dragging” Robert Downey….. it’s the OP and 15 other blue hair dyed, nose pierced Gen Y’ers on Twitter trying to do the whole “cancel” thing because looking for social offenses is what they all live for.

God forbid he ignore a POC. They must be catered to.

R118 I’m a 58 year old gay not queer white guy with liberal but not leftist politics. I think he is an asshole. Maybe somewhat related to KHQ being Asian but I don’t know. Certainly related to RDJ being a douche who values celebrity pecking order.

R120 Y’all need to get a life. He and Quan consoled and small talked backstage. This is much ado about nothing RDJ meant no ill intent.

[quote] RDJ meant no ill intent.—Teacake

What the fuck do you know about it, shithead?

I'm reminded of a documentary I watched about the Salem Witch Trials.

One of the historians said that people got so paranoid that they were afraid to be seen out and about, because how you walked or stood or even sat could be misconstrued as being 'witchy.'

Same thing here, except replace 'witch' with 'racist.'

R123 - sad but very true

R122 Hi. You gon be on that mountain. Everything is gon be ok.

He ask I bring car around! I Oscar winner Robert Downey Douchebag! Not valet!

I saw Goody Downey with the Devil!

R106 RDJ is already a small imp so how small is Keh HUY?

You know it's basic politeness. Some people do it reflexively. Other people have to be reminded. And some people dismiss it as unimportant, and might even "blame" or criticize someone who is on the receiving end. That's the way things work in these times. An entitled asshole gets excused and the guy who was just standing there handing him an award, is mocked.

If I were a famous person, I would invite RDJ to a party and would ask: "I am a fan of yours, how about we go to a room alone because I heard you are a closeted fag?" Then I'd secretly film it and send the video to Ke Huy Quan.

Frankly, I've never been able to stand either one. But I have had Short Round on ignore since the 80s when he was being shoved down our throats because he was a favorite pass around bottom/cum sucker for the Spielberg/ Donner little boy lover crowd.

It was very rude. He treated him like the help.

Typical oriental behavior.

Sneaky and vindictive.

R133 this is the oriental song when RDJ starts to kiss me on the cheek...

RDJ doesn't really seem to have any humility. He was down and out and Hollywood could have every easily without a blink of any idea threw him away and they didn't. And let's face it, his greatest claim to fame was playing a comic book character running around in a plastic suit and was rewarded with riches beyond most people in Hollywood's pay grade.

RDJ was probably on heroin Sunday night. He will die soon just like Philip Seymour Hoffman once the rush of the Oscar ceremony wears off in a couple of weeks.

Maybe Quan asked him why he left his Wonder Woman costume at home.

R136 You are sick.

Do we think he’s back on drugs?

I agree RDJ appears to lack humility, especially during the last ten years. He seems to have done a 180 from the guy who was pleading for Mel Gibson to an awards show audience back in the aughts or early 10s. Not that Mel Gibson should necessarily be defended, but RDJ seemed like a more thoughtful and grounded person in those days.

If one can ever describe him as "grounded."

He needs to lose the glasses or find a more appealing pair.

I love Robert but he looks like Billie Jean King on the cover of People.

Why did he win an Oscar for Oppenheimer? Wasn't he just the token imp?

Am I the only one who noticed RDJ wiping his mouth right after his wife kissed him?

Racists fucks on this website seem not to realize the conservative magat crowd hates them, too. Idiots.

It was an awkward moment, but read as a brain fart to me. RDJ also didn't greet Walz. And for those saying he lacks humility, did you actually hear his speech?

The Iron Man persona is getting a bit tiresome, but it's also obvious psychological armor.

I like Ke Huy Quan, although I prefer Data to Short Round as far as characters go. He was completely endearing in Loki. But truth to tell he's not much of an actor.

They look perfectly civil here.

Whoops - just saw that pic was already posted - sorry!!!

RDJ probably didn't even see Quan as I doubt he is used to looking down at another man's face.

That said, I wonder how much these two clowns would charge to stand on my wedding cake.

Robert is now a billionaire. He has enjoyed success and legitimacy after a very rough road. IMO he was accustomed to being an underdog, a bad boy. Now he seems obnoxious.

I'd still do him.

You won’t have much competition, R151.

Actually, anyone who believes Robert has not engaged in the homosex, is pretty naive.

Really?

You don't say.

Actually...

/squints

I'd do 'em both.

Downey wears a wig on top. Hahahaha

Ke Huy Quan still owes the public an apology for his performance in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). Indy! Indy! Indy!

You cinephiles are never satisfied.

You bitch about how the kids don't talk up indie films and then shit on the one kid who did.

Oh my

How Props Can Help You Understand Your Character

In my dad’s film Rented Lips, which he directed and Martin Mull wrote, I play a porno star named Wolf Dangler. In most of the film, I wear fish-net underwear, and I don’t give a shit. I stuffed my underwear, too. I had this huge wad of toilet paper, and I kept asking the camera guys to please just keep panning around from the front to the side. So you could see from the front angle it looked really big. But when you panned to the side, it looked so obviously fake

R159 - I have seen that image, but what the hell is he doing? I gather it's an SNL skit. For what? Night of the Living Death in Venice, a Visconti/Fulci co-production?

His dad sounds like a great, great person.

"Hey Robert! Get your coked-up ass over here! Take off all your clothes and lick a dead midget!"

I’m really getting tired of looking at him. And his wife.

I actually like Susan Downey (ducks).

One of the few celebrity wives who seems self-effacing, supportive and not desirous of publicity for its own sake. There's a shrewdness there, but I don't mind it.

She exudes common sense.

Ellen Barkin and her then husband Ron Perlman refused to attend the Downey's wedding. Ellen had been close friends with Susan.

R165, what was the reason? I assume Ellen thought Susan was getting in over her head?

Susan was evidently responsible for cutting off James Toback, which led to Toback's numerous maledictions against the couple.

UPI said Barkin attended, but doesn't mention Perlman.

Well I remember Ellen stating publicly that she didn't support the marriage and wouldn't attend. I stood out in my mind because pre-Twitter it was such a weird statement to make.

R168 I heard from blind items that Robert is a full-blown fag and maybe she thought that her friend Susan Wojiki should have a happy life with a hetero husband instead of a closet case with money?

Yeah, R169, but, you know, other than that.
