Was Joaquin Phoenix The Most Annoying Golden Globes Winner Or The Most Woke?

We're not sure whether we're sick and tired of celebrities like Joaquin Phoenix (he certainly seems tired of us -- check out the above clip) or if maybe the world needs more of these annoying woke actors who think the world should listen to them ...
Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais told the whole room at the Beverly Hilton last night to bugger off and not espouse their political beliefs at the podium when they picked up their prizes, but Joaquin Phoenix must have been in the bathroom during the opening monologue because when he accepted the prize for Best Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in The Joker, he said thanks and then went on to shade all the people in the audience who say, "Save the planet!" and then take private jets everywhere (Joaquin walks the walk -- he doesn't fly private AND he supported teen activist Greta Thurberg at an Earth Day rally in LA). Like Leonardo DiCaprio (or LDC, as Brad Pitt calls him), Gwyneth Paltrow, and so, so many more -- at least half the room.
Was his speech woke or wacky?

Meanwhile, the environmentally-conscious star may pretend not to care about awards and the whole Hollywood game, but he DID make an appearance at the Palm Springs Film Festival last week. Seems like somebody's campaigning for an Oscar!

Was Joaquin Phoenix right to admonish fellow actors for taking private jets during his Golden Globes acceptance speech?
Yes! Get off your soapbox and just be an actor! | |
No way -- good for him! It's great he uses his notoriety for a good cause. |
