Apparently she lost out on roles for her Oscar speech. Does anyone know what they were? Did she say? If she's losing

I am generally not a fan or Oscar winners making statements in their acceptance speechesits so cringe worthy and unnecessarybecause they mostly and maybe only spread more and more beep
Dicaprio did that too of course -

I agree. It is about honoring their work as actors and film-makers and it seems inappropriate to use it as a political platform. Many films though do raise social issues, so the line can blur. It is just the self-important nature of many human beings and if they think others are watching or listening, they want to put out a message. It would depend on how it is done though and Arquette just made herself look like a fool. Perhaps that is who she is as a person.

She made herself look like a fool. No doubt. But if anyone disagrees with her comments on sexism in industry of Dicaprios comments on global warming you are looked down upon
There is this narrative that dominates and people know if they dont support it they are "bad"
If you know what I mean
Sorry Im on my night shift, little tired and English is my second language
so even if some people dont agree with these statements they pretend they do to look good
Wage gap or global warming has been debunked so many times but it goes against that narrative which actual cause still is a mystery to me -

I guess even movie stars are just as deluded as the rest of us, yet many see them as voices of reason, as though their fame elevates them to some sort of higher plane of reasoning and understanding. That is why they need to be careful what they put out, due to any misleading and misguided influence they may be projecting.

Most people are generally "ignorant" but I dont mean that in a hateful way
We all have too many problems of our own! Right?
So why should we bother with GLOBAL problems we as a "mortals" cant do anything about them
So some people get their information only from these celebrities..global warming, wage gap (Obama really? REALLY biitch?), rape culture (1 in 5 women is raped), rape epidemics on campuses (even though like 95% of those were lies that were exposed
)
What is making me mad so much?
Ignorance, lies and double standards because pushing this agenda and this narrative will hurt society in a long run
Thats just my opinion..
