(Page 6 of 6) Previous 15 Comments76. All the idiots complaining about the Japanese should consider the American jerk who read out Best Short. He obviously didn't even take the time to learn four foreign titles and totally messed up the presentation for the German guy. Abysmal.

80. Pam, America owes so much money to the Japanese and the Chinese, you'll have to learn their languages, not the other way around.

82. He doesn't live here. It's the Oscars which are "International" he is not required to learn our language like a lot of Mexican's who live here and refuse to.
It was very brave of him to attempt to speak English and to have a great sense of humor about it all.
I speak Japanese and to speak it to the Japanese people in their country for the first time is nerve racking. He spoke English in front of millions!
I commend him.

Did you read what you wrote? Do you speak English? You sure don't write it very well. Uh, idiot racist, he's Japanese. In his country, believe it or not, they don't need to speak or know English to survive day to day and after the awards, he IS going back to his country where the yen, though suffering like everyone in the world, is still doing better than the dollar. So get your racist head out of your ass and notice that the whole show had many non English speakers b/c that's the world now - so deal w/ it. The foreigners are here! Run back to your hick hills!!!
