34. Just to let you friggen Americans know that it took a lot of COURAGE for him to stand up there and at least try to say a few things in English. Having taught the language here for the last 10 years, and reading your comments I will definitely not be advising MY students or others to visit your country. And you think you are tolerant people!!

38. I thought I heard him say "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto " from that Styx song. That was hilarious!

39. I thought he was endearing (best FOREIGN language, people) and his Styx reference was classic.

41. i loved his speech, he was very sincere, trying very hard,
AND HE HAS A KILLER SENSE OF HUMOR, WHICH IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR ANY OF THE RACIST D-BAGS WHO COMMENT ON HERE
If i read one more comment from someone complaining about those who can't speak fluent english....
WELL AS FAR AS I CAN READ, MOST OF YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL MANY BASIC ENGLISH WORDS!!!
GET A FIRM GRASP ON ENGLISH, PLEASE, OR STOP WASTING THE TIME OF THOSE OF US WHO ARE ACTUALLY...
*GASP*
...LITERATE!!!!!!
idiots idiots idiots. watch Idiocracy, the dialogue of the characters will certainly make you feel justified and RIGHT AT HOME.
I HATE YOU BIGOTED MORONS. COMPLETE DINGLEBERRIES!
GET A LIBRARY CARD OR GET A NEW COUNTRY. CALL IT DINGLEBERRYLAND, AND POPULATE IT WITH TURDS LIKE YOURSELF. MY CAT'S TURDS ARE MORE WELL-FORMED THAN YOUR NARROW, TINY BRAINS!!!

43. First of all he is not an American.
Second of all it doesn't matter if he can't speak English cause he's a film maker!!
You ppl make me ashamed for being an American. No wonder rest of the world hates us.

44. His film production company is called Robot. That's why he says: "Thank you my company, Robot. Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto." and throws in the Styx joke.

45. I wonder if the Academy offered him a translator and he didn't want to take them up on it? Either way, that was great. #37 above is right, my daughter is taking Japanese and it is a difficult language to learn.
