What a moving display of humanitarian concern from a sun drenched and worshiped celebrity. No doubt that it was not just Ukrainians and Venezuelans that were brought to tears. It was truly a special after party that boasted the presence of Jared Leto.
I have no idea who this person is, what they have done and why what he has to say matters to anyone..........
Mr. Leto should stick to criticizing enemies of Obama or he could be endangering his status as Hoper and Changer.
In 1971, Bossier City, Louisiana, there was a teenage girl who was pregnant with her second child. She was a high school dropout and a single mom, but somehow she managed to make a better life for herself and her children. She encouraged her kids to be creative, to work hard and to do something special. That girl is my mother and shes here tonight. And I just want to say, I love you, Mom. Thank you for teaching me to dream. To my brother, Shannon, the best big brother in the world, youre a true artist. Thank you so much for sharing this insane and amazing adventure that is 30 Seconds to Mars, and for being my best friend. I love you. Thank you.
RE: He needs to be careful who he supports. Those folks in Venezuela do not have OOAP (Official Obama-Approved Protester) certification
And I think he has made an enemy out of at least one Oscar winner - - Sean Penn.
I think he won a “Polly” at the Political Science Awards last night, for ‘Best Supporting Leftist Blather’...
...or something...
Number one, because its important to me, Leto said.
Sounds like just another self-important Hollywierdo.
He is in the history books for sure. Oscar winner will be mentioned on all his stuff from now on. His future Obituary just got more interesting. He gave a great speech but not nearly as good as Matthew or the girl from 12 years a slave. Some people complaining about Cate Blanchett thanking Woody Allen are ridiculous. Every actor last night thanked their director.
It wasn’t leftist. In fact it was very conservative but you just like to bitch as usual.
The protesters in Venezuela sent out a twitter campaign begging Oscar speakers to acknowledge their plight. The non cable station that has carried the Oscars for years suddenly reported they didn’t have a license to carry it, but I’m sure that was a coincidence.
He made up for it, though, by mouthing the usual pro-gay marriage pablum at the end of his speech.
And Sean Penn has a mean hook - just ask some photographers!
Yeah. He’s a regular Reagan republican.
I'm sure the Ukrainians and Venezuelans were thrilled to know this.
He is one of the closest ones for sure.
Yeah, I agree. This was the one thing that bothered me about his speech. The reference to “who they are” and “who they love” is the standard leftist claptrap about homosexuality (also used by John Kerry), which ignores the environmental factors that contribute to homosexuality.
I have a feeling he doesn't really understand what's happening in Venezuela. He may have thought it was a hip thing to say.
When a person is ‘x’ light-years from a given point, it is somewhat silly to argue that he is appreciably closer to it than someone else who is ‘x+0.1’ light-years from the same point.
