"Well, yes. You've seen I stayed very quiet after the end of the Oscars, marking the end of the awards season.

We opened the Oscars in a way that was never opened before, with an avalanche of excitement, followed by an immediate ovation from the scintillating audience containing many of our heroes. , all radiating and singing with us and hitting the air.

We left then shocked with 4 Oscars – the highlight of the night. The local production manager came to me and shook my hand when we left the auditorium. He said " I've been doing the Oscars for 40 years and it's the best opening we've ever had!" A beautiful moment.

So – everyone thinks we'll all go forward, delirious partying with no worries in the world. But I guess I'm not that kind of animal. I was, and I am, deeply grateful that our film Freddie is recognized in a way that we have never had the audacity to hope for. But I found the public activity behind the rewards season and the behavior of the journalists who surrounded it, extremely disturbing.

If you look at the press and internet discussions that have taken place over the last few months, you can see that 90% are aimed at discrediting one or the other, or all the nominated films , by insinuations and frictions, rather than discussing their merits and admiring the skills that went into making them.

and influence the members by voting as they asked, in their arrogance. It's not the fault of the award panels – they held up well. It is a kind of vindictive illness that seems to have seized public life.

All this time, I bit my tongue, not wanting to influence the results of the vote, even by a hair. But when the curtain fell, my feelings were divided. They persisted until I read this article VERY well thought out and well written in the Spectator. Courageous, truthful – and now I do not have to explain. Everything is here. "
