Actually that was when Morgan Freeman was accepting his Cecil B. DeMille Award.

I call BS. Everyone's standing. The audience rose to their feet right before they announced best actor? Take shot of Leo looking strange or maybe sad, pretend it's because he lost, profit.

Could we get a context. He looks pretty sad what's the deal?

OP is misleading you. This occurred while Morgan Freeman prepared to give his acceptance speech of the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.

Im assuming this is from him not winning the Golden Globe for his performance in J. Edgar. He lost it to George Clooney, who won best actor for his performance in The Descendants. The Golden Globes are a joke though.

No it was actually a standing ovation for Morgan Freeman, the camera got Leo off guard. I don't know if it was prior or after he "lost" the award to Clooney.

The Descendants was fantastic. Highly recommended.

As good as it was, I didn't think it was a stretch for Clooney to play that role, I didn't think the acting was much better than anything he has done in the past.

why is it always movies that came out in that past month that win Golden Globes and Oscars? do the award givers memories not extend beyond 4 weeks?

[–]Kranar 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It is true that Oscars/Golden Globes typically are awarded to more recent films, but from what I've been told the reason was commercial rather then because of poor memories.

Awards have the ability to significantly extend the lifetime that a movie stays in theaters so movies that Hollywood thinks are strong contenders for an award are released in the November/December time frame.

As for the judges themselves, they get DVDs or films shipped to them so they can watch them at their leisure whenever they want, at home or in a private screening.

They may be a joke, but they're less of a joke than the Academy Awards, which are a complete waste of time.

Awwww... I kinda wanna give him a hug or a cuddle or something. Maybe a pat on the back and say "Don't give up, champ. Lot's of people think you're the greatest."

Gotta love Seth Rogen in the background. Who is that he is hitting on?

I think thats his girlfriend.

This was during Morgan Freeman's acceptance speech of the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. Morgan started his career during a time when black actors didn't have many opportunities. Despite that he pressed on because of his love for acting.

That poor multimillionaire that nails supermodels daily.

Hey, rich people can feel pain too you know :P especially when the very art they dedicate their entire existence to is at stake.

That is a fair point, whether or not you are being sarcastic.

OP is a lying piece of shit.

The linked Gif occurred while Morgan Freeman prepared to give his acceptance speech of the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like a sad cat in that gif?

Seth Rogen is definitely hitting on Katy Perry in the background

Leo's great. I like when good actors/actresses are sort of reclusive when it comes to the media. Unlike George Clooney talking out his ass about shit he knows zero about. Leo shows up, acts great, and goes home. Bravo, good sir.
