This prompts some curiosity - anybody know of a particularly politically themed award speech from a conservative actor?

Posted by Max Jan 9 '17, 08:19

I could almost imagine Robert Duvall or Kelsey Grammer doing one, but could also imagine them being too conservative to speak on that subject. I don't know many award speeches before the 1990s.

Responses:

I presume you mean at an awards show? Otherwise, all of Ronald's speeches. Eastwood at RNC. -- nm - ty97 Jan 9, 08:27
closest thing I can think of is rdj standing up for Mel Gibson. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 08:26 6
- what? -- nm - university of amanda jones Jan 9, 08:44 5
  - I recall him saying something (I think it was at the Globes) about how Gibson had helped him through his rough patch and how Hollywood should forgive - Reagen Jan 9, 08:47 4
    - Was that the one where Jodie Foster did the introductory speech? RDJ sat at the table with them, I believe. -- nm - jnine Jan 9, 08:52
    - Here's the Youtube. 25th Annual American Cinematheque Award Ceremony in 2011 -- (link*) - Max Jan 9, 08:51 [youtube]
    - Though that was more personal than political. -- nm - Roger More Jan 9, 08:50
    - I do recall that. -- nm - groiny Jan 9, 08:48
Maybe Patricia Heaton at the Emmys? -- nm - Baron Zero C Jan 9, 08:26
