Yeah, right........
You don't hear that speech because it doesn't relate to the moment or the reason they are on stage. The winners have received an honor from peers and in the custom of receiving something, they are thanking the people responsible for giving them the honor.
There was an awards ceremony? When did this happen?

Yeah, right........
Very good point. The point I got from the author was that it would simply be nice to hear a bit of gratitude for "how" they are able to be there. True, they are there to be recognized by their peers, but they often thank families, executives, make political speeches, etc. So, while I agree with you on the whole, I wish they would realize that they should simply thank their peers and exit the stage --not continue to push their beliefs on hapless viewers.
Their very existence in safe and happy circumstances has much to do with the American soldier defending that privilege. A small thank you wouldn't hurt. Hollywood consists of mind-numbed robots who have no real feeling for anything beyond their own noses. A pox on them all. They contribute nothing of worth to society. They are dull, brattish children who have no concept of the "greater cause." My prediction: They are fading faster and faster. One day their contributions will be like old wet newspapers in the gutter. Sooner the better. I'm sick to death of them, having everything in a capitalist and democratic system and working overtime fighting everything about that system.
