Fantastic talent that stuck foot in mouth


Great performances in True Romance & Boardwalk Empire. I was generally happy for her Oscar win, then she managed to stick that foot in mouth.

As a man Patricia, I would gladly accept 10% of your salary for any of your last few jobs.

You lost me as a fan forever, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one. Shame, as I've always thought you were very talented and underrated. Now I don't care.

Woman absolutely earn just as much, and sometimes like in your case much much more than men. Stop whining, and enjoy that obscurity again as I won't watch anything else you do.


Note to future award winners, just say thank you to the film makers and people you love.

Save the big speeches about whatever injustice you hate for Twitter or your website.

Shunned for life.

But her heart is good and it came from a good place, she never meant anything untoward with her statement..... I hardly doubt she cares either.

It was inappropriate and unwarranted and I don't care about her heart. It is no more 'special', than those that are grossly underpaid than her. She is a stupid twerp and my sentiments to the OP. I was happy for her too, until her rant. If she doesn't care, then that is her problem and she is nothing but a self-serving narcissist.

She had her speech written down on paper, so much for the heat of the moment.

Go watch Halle Berry on You Tube when she won her Oscar, that was pure emotion.

This was not only not ridiculous, what she said simply isn't true.

And OP, she isn't a fantastic actress, Cate Blanchett is a fantastic actress.

PA isn't a bad actress, but she isn't amazing by any means.

What do you mean I can't give up or vilify someone because of one thing they say? Guess it's never happened in Hollywood before Mel Gibson, Jim Carrey being recent examples of talents who've stuck foot in mouth and have not recovered.

Another poster also mentioned, SHE WROTE IT DOWN. It wasn't in the heat of the moment. She had it planned. Even her thanks was generic. Look at Eddie Redmayne or Julianne Moore. Those were genuine. Patricia Arquette had a plan to push her cause on the entire world, despite the fact that NOBODY wanted to hear it.

People will argue the reaction from Oprah and Jennifer Lopez, but they are in fact two of the richest woman on earth. With Oprah having enough money to buy a moon somewhere.

I'm glad she doesn't care, as her pay has been ample enough to sustain the inevitable collapse of her income and demand. I'm very disappointed in her, but again she doesn't care. So no worries. My outrage is genuine, and so is the outrage from millions of her former fans.

I just saw her backstage press conference.

I noticed she said the "issues" facing woman. But never said what these "issues" are. She failed to give one example or any detail.

It was all BS.

Yes, and the reaction of Oprah and Jennifer Lopez, who fly around on private jets, when is the last time either one was in a supermarket?

Arquette comes from an acting family, has she even ever head a "real job"?

Ever waited tables, or worked in retail? I highly doubt it.

Based on what I see on this board, guess I'm not alone. She's done. What a horrendous mistake. Shame really.

Well said Dr. Bill. It's amazing the insensitive and maniacal statements that come out of a person's mouth that has absolutely no right to complain about a single thing. And that whole Men gets paid more than Women argument has been debunked. She is an idiot.

Please Hollywood, do not ever consider remaking Rocky!!!
