Why is everyone Bashing his Speech?
I thought it was sweet and insightful
Perception. Either way, there has been an uptick of donations to Unicef under his name by fans, so something good happened out of it, but sad he took such heat over expressing joy over entertaining aid workers who binge watched the series he won for. I mean who knew dedicating your entire award to aid workers and feeling glad you entertained them can be so...insulting? I think people are still on edge from a rough 2016, well at least imo
Well said! My own perception is that I work in the nonprofit/charity industry, and there is IMO nothing impure or egotistical in Mr Hiddleston supporting the charity he is representing. It's just the way it works. There a mutual 'brand rub" so the fame he's worked for raises money sorely needed by a charity and the famous face has a good cause associated with him.
Frankly, I see that as far less self-serving than name checking industry people which could be read as sucking up for more work. And that is also an ungenerous characterisation because that's what actors have to do, chase jobs, as well as advertise the work for the gain of all involved.
I think it's silly to think that someone who has acted on stage could not be nervous when accepting a big award and having to speak to a world wide audience. I think it's equally silly to think a man getting a very public award should not reference the work or his pride in it for being entertaining to people who do good work and acknowledging that MSF does more important work than a room full of show biz people.
Mostly, I'm tired of people who think you must be utterly pure of any self interest or other "defect" ascribed to you by social media in order to do something positive and - shock horror - get away with it.
