Phoenix also used his speech to thank his mother before addressing's relationship to gun violence and mental health, thanking director Todd Phillips and writer Scott Silver for the opportunity to embody the role.

"Scott Silver and Todd Phillips, you checked us. You took a comic book character and used it to talk about childhood trauma, gun violence, isolation and mental health. And instead of inciting violence, you invited the audience in to see what it feels like when you're one of the forgotten," he said. The film faced controversy before its release for its themes and depictions of gun violence and toxic masculinity. Directly following Phoenix's speech,host and best supporting actress presenter Seth Meyers made a sly joke about the menu, noting that it was good "food critics" weren't in the room.

Wow, whatta guy

Yes. People eating salad is the newest of the Beatitudes.

Wait, he was in DC yesterday. How did he get a horse and buggy to LA that fast?

He called for that in his Globes speech just as music started....

Nothing like the Rich & Hypocrisy. 😂 So totally unaware of how ignorant he is...but hey at least he fed the Climate Change Cult a bit of crumbs.

Too bad the talented Phoenix loved the junk so we are left with the junk Phoenix...

I’ll eat meat. I’ll turn up the AC when it’s hot and heater when it’s cold. I’ll buy a 750 hp Ford Mustang if I choose. I’ll fly all over the world whenever. Other than that I’m with you.

Wonder if he's had that suit dry-cleaned yet🤔

So, not ONE of these morons heard what Ricky said.

I can eat meat for the rest of my life and not harm the environment as much as Joaquin Phoenix did on a single private jet flight. “Environmentalists” do more harm to the planet than anyone else.

Here's 'Vegetable'

Meet 'Plant'.

I wonder if they serve 'plant based food' on their PRIVATE JETS that they fly all over the world visiting their $MILLION DOLLAR MCMANSIONS

Please ignore me flying all over the country to lecture the peons....

Between this and his tuxedo, problem solved!

I'll bet he eats filet mignon..like a hungry Indian..whos that criminal joker fooling?

'Beef makes the people strong' John Wayne!

bum

Trigger warning:

Oh, sure, you find vegans obnoxious, but plant-based, now those people are super cool.

yeahhh...cos that is going to help....

Joaquin ain’t had that popeyeschickensandwich

The message must be, eat before you come, or after you leave.

I get nauseous from plant based food. Yuck.
