"This song is not about success, it's about resilience. If only the Academy let the team be resilient in the face of an orchestra who didn't even gradually crescendo in so much as burst through at full volume as fellow co-writer Yu Han Lee tried to say a few words."
"It'd be one thing, perhaps, if that sense of urgency was prevalent all night, but let's face it: The Oscars are really good at wasting our time. There was an extended Bridesmaid bit, an extended Moulin Rouge! bit, an extended Marvel bit, and an extended bit where it looked like Bill Pullman and his son Lewis Pullman spoke to each other for the first time in each other's lives."
"We know after nearly one hundred years of Academy Awards that this thing never ends on time, so why cut off overwhelmed winners when we could just axe a bit or two toward the end of the show? Or better yet, advertisers be damned, just run over and have fun with it."
The Oscars ceremony featured an uncomfortable moment when the team behind 'Golden' from Kpop Demon Hunters was rushed off stage by an orchestra that suddenly burst into full volume during their acceptance speech. Singer EJAE spoke about overcoming bullying for listening to K-pop, while co-writer Yu Han Lee attempted to share remarks before being cut off. The abrupt treatment contrasted sharply with the ceremony's allocation of extended time to various entertainment bits featuring Bridesmaids, Moulin Rouge, Marvel content, and other segments. The ceremony's poor time management resulted in prioritizing entertainment over honoring winners, raising questions about the Academy's priorities and scheduling decisions.
