Joker Did Not Find This Funny

[Blind Gossip] A famous film actor just couldn’t help himself at one of the Oscars after parties.

Joaquin Phoenix was there with his family and Rooney [Mara]. A lot of people were coming up and congratulating him on his Oscar.

That makes sense. Here is a photo of Joaquin celebrating with his family, girlfriend, and friends. We note that Rooney is determined to hold on to her French fries.

Then along came another movie star.

[Movie Star] just walked by him and said, “Mooooo.” Joaquin didn’t seem to think that was funny and just gave him a look.

Allow us to provide some context.

Joaquin Phoenix won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his strong performance in Joker. At the bottom of the post is a clip of Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck in Joker dancing down some stairs in The Bronx. 

In an unusual acceptance speech (see below), Phoenix made an impassioned plea for everyone and everything that might be oppressed in this world.

Including cows.

We will assume that Rooney Mara did not have a hamburger with her fries.

Moo.

    Too little clues to guess who’s the Mooing Actor. But maybe de Niro? He seems to be a type of guy who would do such thing.
    [Optional] Did Joaquin Phoenix deserve to win? Well, duh… since ages.
    What did you think of his acceptance speech? I’m glad that there’s still someone sincere in Hollywood, someone who wants to change the world even by little and DOES something about it, not just preaching.

    Joaquin is weird, that’s why his speech and practically everything else he does is weird.
    His portrayal of the joker reminded me a lot of an ex boyfriend. The ex gave me the creeps, Joker gave me the creeps. He was spot on playing my ex! Definitely deserves his Oscar.

    My guess is mooing actor must be a bitter Jared Leto who previously played the Joker. He was actually a prison rat gangster… but he thought he was the Joker. Not even close.

    Jerk! That’s who. Joaquin deserved to win and his speech was great. He praised veganism at the GG; why any surprise he did the same at the Oscars. It’s something he passion about and I’m admit it did make me think twice about cow milk today.

  14. ILikeSleep21 says

    No idea who would’ve mooed but that was a crazy acceptance speech. I adores his tribute to River though
    And YES he absolutely deserved to win. He was amazing. I was rooting for him all along (and Renee Zellweger).

  16. Jelly Drop says

    Hahahahahahahahahahahaha – gold. I hope it is Al Pacino.

    Hell to the yeah he deserved the win. I personally did not like the Joker movie but loved him in it. He was amazing. I believed him. One of my favourite acting performances in years.

    Someone who is very jealous…..The Joker was so intense on every level…Truly Great Acting……Congratulations Joaquin……

    Movie Actor: Morgan Freeman

    Clue: “Along came another movie star”… Morgan Freeman starred in the movie Along Came a Spider.

    Mooing actor: Brad Pitt

    Haven’t seen the joker yet so can’t say whether he deserved it. He can keep his entitled opinions, on how us poor people get by, to himself.

  21. High Steppa says

    He was definitely deserving, but I swear I had no idea where that acceptance speech was going. He’s obviously a very private person and he looked uncomfortable on stage. I’m sure his speech was heartfelt but it was rambling and I was urging him to wrap it up before it went off the rails even more.

  23. kahmorais says

    IDK Who the mooo person is, but Rooney and Joaquim ate a hamburger in celebration.
    They are vegan, so the burger was plant based … And, surprise surprise there are vegan burgers.

  24. kelno19 says

    I can see Brad Pitt doing this…Joaquin was expected to win and he’s a different personality, so his speech was totally him.

  25. I Am PunkA says

    Mooing actor has to be Leo. He’s a huge practical joker.

    I think * deserves it. Pretty intense display of acting. Full on crazy method. DDL style. Was raw and disturbing and great acting.

    He’s a vegan so I understand where he is coming from. A bit dramatic but he’s an actor. It’s what they do. And I loved his take on 2nd chances and cancel culture. Agreed with what he had to say there completely. We need to let people change and grow.

  26. oyevey says

    Definitely Leo DiCaprio! Joaquin should have mentioned fair treatment to models past the age of Leo’s stable.

    Mooing actor: Could be anyone

    Optional: he did deserve it! He did a great job. Although… him speaking does give me a bit anxiety watching how awkward he is socially. I get what he’s trying to convey but again awkward. And people out of the biz would be surprised at how many more actors/entertainers than not don’t like hearing politics, etc. During these shows.

  28. PBCups says

    I enjoyed Joker and definitely thought Phoenix did a great job. I also enjoyed his speech – not as much as his Golden Globes acceptance speech, though.

    Someone walking by and saying “moo” reminds me of a high school kid who thinks they’re so clever and original. Hopefully Phoenix just rolled his eyes.

  29. TruePatriot says

    Vince Vaughn?
    Mel Gibson?
    Could be anyone who thinks he is a former cult-influenced child who forgot that other animals eat animals! He’s a little nutty. Don’t care if he won as I didn’t see any of these films at all. We vote with our wallets in this home.

  30. CaintGetEnuff says

    I mooed him too! What do these folks think would happen to cows if they weren’t eaten? Would anyone keep a herd of cows as pets? They aren’t cheap to keep so I assume they would all die of starvation.
    I don’t mind if you’re a vegan, pescatarian, keto, paleo, gluten free or whatever. Just live your life and stop trying to tell the rest of us we have to live that way too. Just because you’re chosen work is entertainment, does not make you right about everything.

    • PBCups says

      You know that they are bred for slaughter, right? There would be fewer cows, but there wouldn’t be no cows.

    Mooing actor: A jealous jerk

    Damned right Joaquin deserved to win. He was BRILLIANT in “Joker,”–just a dazzling tour de force. Absolutely masterful and a big reason why that movie racked up well over $1 billion (and without China).

  33. badgerette85 says

    Mooing Actor- have no idea, but I think it’s pretty darn funny

    Op- I am not opposed of him getting the BA Oscar as I think this was a very challenging role to portray. Didn’t see the movie but heard he was amazing.
    As for the speech, not the place to lecture those who like their beef and support our dairy/cattle farmers. Save it for another place and time.

  35. TeacherKat says

    I dont know who the actor would be, but he definitely comes across as rude. Why make fun of showing compassion?

    Optional: Totally deserved. I’m not one to watch super hero/marvel type movies, but I was outvoted one night so I went to see it. This movie would have failed spectacularly without his performance as he was that good. I also cant find fault with his plea for compassion.

  37. sunshine702 says

    Joe Pesci

    He deserves the win
    But SHUT UP ABOUT POLITICS outside of the MOVIE!
    He deserves the ribbing.

  38. bec215d says

    I’d have given it to Bandaras. Phoenix is unquestionably talented and Oscar-worthy, and I understand why he won, but this type of role has become a specialty for Phoenix – the alienated outsider, how he sees himself in real life. Bandaras delivered an understated, possibly career finest, performance, channeling the life of his own award-winning director and friend into a deeply moving film. Phoenix will have other alienated outsider roles to play.

    Moo was Hilarious! I think he deserved to win. He’s awesome. Don’t know know who said it, but the clearly had a wicked sense of humor! LOL

  42. viola45 says

    Mooing Actor: unsure

    Optional: Yes, Joaquin deserved to win. He was the entire movie and he was amazing.

    • Hardball71 says

      This is funny guest. I doubt in a million years Brad would do this. Sounds more Casey or ego-driven Leto who is annoyed he lost the Joker role. Joe Pesci trying to be funny at this age. WHY would Pitt do it? He won and he has had a rough run of it. I think he plays the humility card far more than any sarcastic tongue-in-cheek mocking card. Interesting though if it was him.
