I disagree, NA. I want to see them thank the people in their lives, and who gave them the award, not to preach at me, they can do that on their own time. The Oscars is about film and filmmaking, and they should stick to the subject at hand while at the Oscars.

And as regards voting, if someone made a great documentary about how a house is built, I don't see why that filmmaker deserves any less recognition than one who made a good film about the environment or some culture that seems exotic by American standards. The award is supposed to be about the film,, and the excellence of their work on it. To favor certain subjects is to disrespect the art that went into the others.
