While accepting his Best Supporting Actor Award for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, Jared Leto’s dreamlike speech impressively managed to reference all of the world’s ills and the hopes of humanity, and yes, really, we meant that, because he’s the only person who could pull it all off.

4. This will be unpopular but...

this speech was awful. His references to current events in Ukraine and Venezuela were there purely for publicity as they had absolutely nothing to do with his film or anything else he was talking about. To close his remarks by suggesting that he's some kind of hero to those suffering from AIDS because he *acted* in a movie about it is the height of arrogance and just what I would expect from an egomaniac like Leto.

In conclusion

5. given your remarks, no one can say anything about anything. I personally

don't believe if you are an actor you lose your right to speak to points of interest and controversy.

6. Huh? Were you replying to someone else?
