In fact, it has been a long time since a Japanese director has had the opportunity to speak on the Oscars stage. However, even that opportunity was denied to him. Background music cut in about 20 seconds into Hamaguchi’s address. Then the music cut in again as he was wrapping up his speech. Though it’s possible that Tiffany Haddish, who presented the award alongside Simu Liu, did not intend to make the issue worse on-screen. When she gestured the Director off the platform.

On Twitter, fans expressed their displeasure. With one writing, “Imagine interrupting Hamaguchi’s speech to play him off. The Academy should be ashamed of itself.” whilst another stated, “Why must they constantly play off the international winners as soon as they begin speaking at the Oscars? Allow Ryusuke Hamaguchi to finish his remarks; he wasn’t through yet! It’s a pain in the neck.” The Academy’s treatment of overseas winners was questioned by several on the platform.

Many netizens, on the other hand, were proud of the director for standing firm. Asking the band to stop playing during his address in order to honour the film’s cast and crew.
