Something interesting I noticed in the audience, during Meryl Streep's speech

[Siwsan]

I'm pretty inept at this screen shot capturing but while the camera was on Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn, I couldn't help but focus on their facial expressions. During the few seconds he camera was on them, Mel's face went through some subtle changes, looking like he was really absorbing what Meryl was saying. Vaughn, on the other hand, just continued to glare. At least that's my take on his facial expression.

Maybe I'm reading too much into such a brief bit of film, but if you go to the video and watch that few seconds, towards the very end, maybe you will see the same thing. Maybe not. I just found it fascinating.

1. From what I understand, Vince Vaughn is a right-wing asshole.

Mel Gibson we all know about. Now, I've read testimonials from his friends, including many liberals, who swear he doesn't have a bigoted bone in his body. I don't believe that for a second. You don't say the things he said, drunk or sober, unless you're a bigoted jerk.

[HassleCat]

2. Vaughn is a notorious Randroid.

Once you buy into that fairy tale, fantasy crap, it's all over for the brain cells.

[blm]

30. Or a raging HemmoPaul?

[flamingdem]

3. I noticed that too and the show's director sure noticed!!!

That director last night was really telling a story with the faces they chose to show.

Though they didn't catch Stallone's expression - he's been invited to be arts czar under tRump

[0rganism]

41. it'd be funny if Stallone turned out to be a fine arts aficionado

you never know when one of these batshit insane nominations is going to backfire on His Orangeness.
there's got to be at least one in that batch of political vandals

Stallone's countable among the "rich Hollywood elite", and as we've seen many times, actors' viewpoints are not necessarily apparent from the roles they play in movies. he knows and works with artists of various stripes. he might have a very refined, generous sensibility when it comes to the arts.

but probably not.

[leftyladyfrommo]

42. Stallone is an artist. He may know

a lot about all the arts.

[flamingdem]

43. Funny story about Sly

I live in LA and was told Sly used to drive from his home up the coast to West Hollywood in a van. Then he'd have them unload his Harley so he could cruise up to the art galleries... phoney!!!!!!!

[flamingdem]

44. Funny story about Sly #2 in case u didn't see the one below

I live in LA and was told Sly used to drive from his home up the coast to West Hollywood in a van. Then he'd have them unload his Harley so he could cruise up to the art galleries... phoney!!!!!!!

4. LOL, did Hollywood sit all 5 Republicans at the same table?

[Jeroen]

5. Yes, and one empty chair n/t

26. +1

[Sanity Claws]

6. Some of the others

Many of the others looked almost tearful at hearing Meryl's words. Vince was definitely in a very small minority.

[nini]

7. If you get that pissed at a call for civility

the problem is yours.

But they would never see it that way I'm sure.

[uponit7771]

27. +1

8. Seconds before they did this:

[Mellomugwump]

23. That's funny...

I was just telling some coworkers that I felt like I was experiencing the invasion of the body snatchers. Who are all of these pod people that voted for Trump?!

[blm]

31. heheh.

i expect that is our future

[Baitball Blogger]

9. There was one woman in the front table who did not applaud when everyone else did.

[justhanginon]

11. Susan Sarandon perhaps?

[JHan]

13. Yep I noticed her, she was tense.

[LisaM]

28. As she should be.

Honestly, that woman.

[coco22]

10. I guess Sylvester Stallone was still backstage.

[amuse bouche]

12. These cretins were captred on twitter too

[spanone]

14. two deplorables in the audience....maybe neither had a date.

[JHan]

15. Vince: showing the world he's a jerk.

[Behind the Aegis]

16. Gibson is deep in thought.

"Is Streep a Jew? She did play one once. Maybeeee...yeah, that must be it! JEW!"

[canetoad]

17. If you look closely at the video

That grab happens at 5:45, right after Meryl starts to recount something Tommy Lee Jones said to her. Not defending wingnuts, but I don't think you can read too much into the expressions.

[Siwsan]

18. I read Gibson's expression as someone who was listening. I think Vaughn's glare is like a wall

It almost looks like Gibson is processing what he's hearing, but not Vaughn. I can't help but wonder if he's one of those who blames his less than 'hot' career on people not hiring him because of his politics. I've seen his recent IMDB activity, which is pretty anemic. Could be his choice. Could be the casting director's.

But then, again, what I saw and re-watched several times just struck me as very interesting but is still just my impression.

[canetoad]

19. It seemed to me

That Gibson pricked up his ears at the mention of Tommy Lee Jones. The other guy, I don't know.

Even though it's 'live' footage, we don't know exactly how or if it was edited.

[Glassunion]

22. I'm slightly hard of hearing, and my wife informs me that

I do the same face as Gibson, when I'm struggling to hear something. She had commented on it while we were watching.

Hold one finger up to the good ear, and open my mouth (like that helps somehow), and slightly cock my head to the side.

[csziggy]

32. Yes - just before 2:50 was when Streep was talking about mixed martial arts not being arts

The wide shot they showed I believe has Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn on the left of the screen and they both seem to be laughing and clapping.

[progressoid]

20. Yep. I bet V V went home and fumed the whole evening.

[AgadorSparticus]

21. You're not the only one. My impression of VV was that he was pissed

And that speaks greatly about him. He is a 2 bit actor. But more importantly and clearly not even a nice human being.

He isn't worthy of being a part of Hollywood. I would say boycott him but there's not much to boycott. And honestly, I never watched his work anyways because of its mediocrity.

[JI7]

24. libertarians are often bigger assholes than traditional conservatives

[xor]

40. Although, with libertarians I find that most of them at least realize they are assholes

they just don't have a problem with being cold hearted assholes.

[JI7]

25. hopefully gibson is changing for the better

[otohara]

29. Missing Is Viggo Mortensen

who said there was no difference between Trump / Hillary.

He looked a tad uncomfortable too!

[Cha]

35. I saw him.. And, thought he would be all for what Meryl was saying..

Did not know he said there was no difference between the two. He did look uncomfortable.. course we can't read people's minds.

Well, he's just stupid. sorry.

[JI7]

45. well fuck him too

[Croney]

33. Ugh. This photo is now being shared all over FB.

I can't unfollow my fundie sister but I sure can rush to hide and delete the shit she gloats about.

[Siwsan]

34. What would she be gloating about? The childish trump* tweet or the glaring VV?

I've seen the video on FB but nothing directly connected to the screen shot.

I'm lucky in that I have no trump* people anywhere on my friends lists. The only ones I deal with are the trolls in the FB groups and those that I don't shut down, I block.

Life is just far too short.

[Croney]

37. She shared it from a Fake News person's page.

They're saying that most of America agrees with these two fine upstanding actors that we should all love the Dumpster. In other words, they are delusional.

[Siwsan]

38. Oh dear and YIKES.

So they didn't notice that 99.9% of the room agreed with Meryl. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

[Croney]

39. Oh yes, they noticed it.

And blew it off as just another roomful of Hollywood liberals, which is apparently the worst insult they can ever conjure. These are not nice people and I can't wait to see them floundering under the weight of The Repug apocalypse.

[rug]

36. trump has the emotional content of a chameleon.

[Seedersandleechers]

46. Not impressed! The moment Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn glared daggers through Meryl Streep's Golden G
