However, another well-known face managed to steal the show in a whole new way, with actor and comedian John Mulaney’s brief stint at the awards earning him major praise online.
John Mulaney: “Without sound, we wouldn’t have been able to hear such classic lines as ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat,’ ‘I’ll have what she’s having’ and ‘He was in the Amazon with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died.'“https://t.co/UNgGySGz3rpic.twitter.com/WLFpHIWU85
Mulaney acknowledged that many people still believe that silent films were the golden age of cinema. However, the comedian challenged this thought, listing some of his favorite dialogue in film to support his argument that audio is a game changer for the art of film.
“Without sound, we wouldn’t have been able to hear such classic lines as ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat,’ ‘I’ll have what she’s having’ & ‘He was in the Amazon with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died.”
