This makes the Golden Globes look credible. Hand out the International Film award with all the others or don’t give it at all; don’t shove a trinket at an unsuspecting director on the red carpet with a condescending chirp and then cut away before they can say a word.
Thrilled that THE SECRET AGENT won the Critics Choice award for Best International Film but so disheartened and angry at how it happened. Mendonça Filho and producer Emilie Lesclaux were ambushed on the red carpet, no briefing, no chance of giving a speech, the whole thing an insulting disaster.
Gente? 😵💫 O Critics Choice Award de Melhor Filme Internacional de ‘O Agente Secreto’ foi entregue no carpet, sem qualquer aviso prévio, a Kleber Mendonça Filho e Emilie Lesclaux, produtora do longa.

The thing about the "Maduro is a brutal dictator to be sure" caveats is, what does that have to do with anything? Do you think the US military cares if someone is a brutal dictator? Are you nine?

You can’t report illegal acts because you don’t want to compromise them being carried out is an interesting take, if true
