Patricia Arquette made a fool of herself at the Oscars


She won for her portrayal of Olivia in Boyhood. That was an honor bestowed on her by The Academy. She had stiff competition in that catagory this year. Why didn't she thank the Academy, thank Richard Linklater, thank all the cast and crew, acknowledge her fellow nominees, and thank her family.

Instead, she goes off on a rant about things she knows nothing about. Someone told her to be upset by something and she did. If she had looked into the matter she "advocates", she would have known that their is nothing there. It isn't an issue.
What a fool. Actresses need scripts, lines, directors. Thinking and reasoning on their own? not so much.

She clearly lives in a bubble and does not know what she is talking about, even leftist sites and sources are proving what she said was nonsense and just more ramblings from liberal narcissist in Hollywood.

Hi PacificHeights and 06986,

I completely agree with you. She's not only ungrateful and self-centered, but also ignorant and hypocritical. She owes everything to Linklater. What an idiot. And of course that other idiot Streep cheered her like she was some kind of hero...

Plainly stupid, pathetic and embarrassing...

Plainly stupid, pathetic and embarrassing...Well, I wouldn't go so far as to call them idiots. But you do bring up a good point – Meryl Streep… I wonder why no one's criticizing her for her hyperbolic reaction in the media?



Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!

Exactly, this is what I thought, Arquette didn't sell any movie in the last 50 years, and the next 50 years she will not sell any as well. She was just lucky bimbo with Boyhood (and only interesting thing about the movie is, the shooting has lasted 12 years). And during these 15 minutes of fame, she had nothing to say, just about salary for women. I bet she didn't care before, it came just because of emails released by hackers. But this, especially in her business, is given by market, so basically she wants to say, that next time when she will play with DiCaprio in he movie, she wants the same salary as him according her twisted mind. I am woman, but this is almost impossible to have the same salary, if you cannot sell the movie. And Streep dtto. She is acclaimed actress and appreciated by academy, but when was her last blockbuster, staying just on her performance? Never. I don't count Into The Woods, it is not her movie.

Arquette referred to Amy Adams not getting the same salary as Cooper recalculated on percentage from revenues. But honestly even if Amy is quite good actress, she cannot be compared with Cooper and this is reflected into the wages. Let's just compare last movies of both Big Eyes vs. American Sniper. Look at the sales.

"Let's just compare last movies of both Big Eyes vs. American Sniper. Look at the sales."

[sarcasm] What are you talking about? Surely, those differences in ticket sales reflects how much the audiences hate women. lol. It couldn't possibly be the story, the subject matter, the director and his vision, the characters. No. IT HAS GOT TO BE MISOGYNY!

reply

Well OK, so I hope there will be American Sniper sequel and Amy will make it in leading role LOL.

I can totally see that working. The wife, bereft, enraged by what happened to her beloved husband joins the Navy Seals and fails. Then instead of watching the story of a loyal wife avenging the death of her husband, we watch her go on a feminist tirade against the government because the requirements to become a Navy Seal are just too damn hard. Who cares those skills are meant to keep people alive when women NEED the affirmative action to do whatever they want.
