Home  Greetings

one of the more amusing quotes at the Oscars in 2015 came from Sean Penn when the Mexican Director won Best Picture for BIRDMAN.

"When [|Sean Penn]  announced “Birdman” as best picture at the [|Academy Awards] , some people didn’t take kindly to his joke: “Who gave this son of a bitch a green card?”

Penn was referring to “Birdman’s” Mexican writer/director/ producer [|Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu] , who directed Penn in “**//21 Grams//**.” The joke didn’t go over well with some on Twitter, who went online to voice their outrage.

But asked backstage about it, Inarritu said, “I found it hilarious.”" ( See more on Variety ) http://variety.com/2015/film/news/oscars-sean-penn-green-card-joke-alejandro-g-inarritu-responds-1201439426/
