Brendan Fraser Cries In 2023 Critics Choice Awards Speech
Brendan Fraser’s speech didn’t leave a dry eye in the house at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards. The 54-year-old actor won Best Actor on Sunday night for his performance in “The Whale” and he kicked off his speech by sharing a quote about critics that made the audience laugh. Brendan went on to show appreciation for co-stars Hong Chau and Sadie Sink, plus director Darren Aronofsky. At the end of his emotional speech, he gave some advice for anyone struggling with their weight, which his character overcomes.
This year’s award season is clearly about tenacity, stamina, and redemption. Between him, Ke Huy Quan, and Michelle Yeoh, all their stories are darn inspiring!!!
yes, I so agree.
Best talent in the best movies of the year. The Whale and EEAAO stopped the show.
i guess nerd
@Ander Ander I respect your common sense response. I feel the same way. Brendan Frasier is better than Hollyweird …deserves better …I can’t comprehend why he would care about being accepted by those psychopaths.
I always liked Brendan Frasier….he doesn’t seem your typical Hollyweird
I’ve seen Brendan on multiple talk shows, and he comes across as a really nice down to earth guy. It’s great that he’s getting this chance to make a comeback, and he deserves it.
He is a great guy. Glad he got the help he needed and is returning to acting
Couldn’t have said it better.
His speech made
Me cry. You can tell he’s been hurt so much, but with the support of everybody he’s rising again. He deserves it all.
He seems like such a nice genuine person, so glad that he is making a comeback. ❤️
This makes my heart happy. He deserves this so much and more. After everything the industry put him through, give him his Oscar damn it. He’s an incredible actor and just an overall good guy.
Did you forget about his ex wife?
No, Oscar does not deserve him.
!
We 80s & 90s humans are tearing up with you. We grew up with you and are so glad you are back. So humble and well deserved. Wooohoo!
Encino man was my fav! 90s teen here
Michael,
He is clearly in a mental crisis.
@Man Animal No actor is stable. Most people aren’t stable. Among the worst are those who feel the need to label others as unstable.
I couldn’t agree more!
Yeah millennials and Elder genz
I was born in 96 so my fondest memories of him were George of the Jungle and looney toones back in action. Not privy to why he left Hollywood or what happened in general to his career but he definitely impacted a generation of kids.
His performance will save so many people, and help them see the light. To be able to do that in a few hours is an incredible gift. This movie and his performance is timeless, a film that will never fail to move me.
weirdly wholesome for the pfp
Even the darkness disguises itself as light
This is the nicest thing an ass could ever say about him
His story, his tenacity, his never give up attitude and his undeniable talent . This man isn’t just any celebrity, he’s an absolute TREASURE. His performance in the whale absolutely destroyed me and there is absolutely ZERO doubt that this man deserves the Oscar and I truly truly hope he gets it. One of the greatest performances in the last decade hands down.
He deserved a comeback after what he’s been through. Hopefully he wins an Oscar for Best Actor this year.
I hope so
Um, he’s worth $20 million dollars and isn’t starving in Africa with a warlord trying to cut his head off. He lives much better than we do.
I’m so glad he’s being recognized for all his hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Well deserved! 💕
