Hugh Grant’s hard-to-watch back-and-forth on his way into the Oscars was not the first time a star found quizzing to be a pain
t says a lot about the state of the Oscars in general that, on a night when a bear on cocaine attacked the noted activist Malala Yousafzai in her seat on live television, last night’s ceremony went down as one of the most incident-free of recent years. Indeed, it seems like the only enduring non-award talking point of the night wasYou will have seen the clip by now.
Reaction to the clip seems to have split people right down the middle. There are those who have called Hugh Grant grumpy and rude, and have taken him to task for not entering into the spirit of proceedings. And then – and I’m aware that this might be an overgeneralisation – there are British people. Smith got a pass for this, of course, because of who he is. He is a dark and mysterious figure who once wrote a song called The Drowning Man, so it would have been weird for him to start hopping around and shrieking with excitement. Meanwhile, Hugh Grant played Mickey Blue Eyes, so he has to work harder to earn the role of curmudgeon.
Similarly, when faced with mother and daughter duo Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson on the Oscars red carpet, ABC host Lara Spencer took it upon herself to press Griffith on why she has never watched any of Johnson’s sexually explicit BDSM 50 Shades movies. “I don’t think I can. I think it would be strange,” replies Griffiths, visibly clenching, as Spencer tries to explain how hot some of the scenes are.
