I agree completely! That first reporter was a total twat! She should be fired for talking to Russell like that! Who let her in? I think she was crashing!
Russell, you always handle rudeness very well! I remember on SNL, you barely let CB touch you! And you definitely made Aussie more nervous by undoing him, but the stuffy reporter scene at the Oscar’s doesn’t suit him! I love that these are the clips you chose! Classy and hilarious as ever!
Your mom is pure magic! Beautiful and witty, and in such a formal moment! Totally lovely. :)
well the morons on E! messed up and asked him, a recovering alcoholic, if he was going to celebrate with champagne afterwards- then the one girl from the chelsea handler show, goes on to say how professional she is-
That lady was a wankerette! Nicely done. He’s so quick witted that these idiots can’t keep up. He’s a riot! Gate crasher….JEEZ! By the way who was she??? Never mind, I don’t care.
That first woman hadn’t done her homework had she, shame on her!
Glad you ditched her quick sharp. Your mom is adorable :) xx
Keep doing what you do best Russell and don’t forget your English roots my son xxx
First let me preface this little criticism by assuring everyone it comes from a place of love and veneration. Ahem. Did anyone think Mr Brand’s outfit was not up to his usual sexy standard? He’s actually quite dashing and manly; I think he would have wowed and surprised everyone had he chosen a beautifully classic midnight blue tuxedo a la Bertie Wooster, or even channeled his “S&M Willy Wonka” look of yore but more towards the Oscar Wilde end of the spectrum and away from the Artful Dodger. I love Russell’s dandy style but thought his shiny shirt and tie strayed away from anarchic roccco comedian/about to be Serious Movie Star and got a bit dangerously near to Clapham Estate Agent. (Sorry Russell. Sorry Clapham Estate Agents. But when on Oscar’s carpet, is a bit of silver screen glamour too much to ask, especially from the most striking man present?

Saw all the tweets suggesting Russell and Dame Helen Mirren for co-hosts. Oh wouldn’t that be marvelous? Simply darling. Properly funny. And with actual dignity, which the Oscar proceedings can’t proceed without. But the Americans would never stand for it, would they?
Who knew Reuters hired reporters of such low level intellect?
I suppose in another space continuum she felt she was being clever.
Not.
Well handled, Mr. Brand.
How refreshing n cool is Russell?! Love the way he tried chilling out Aussie dude, Richard! He is so real & you can see the love with his mum is too!

Seriously! That first reporter needed an enema!! Good comeback as always Russell!!

I’man Aussie and we’re not proud of Richard Wilkins… he’s a dag. Actually, dag is too nice for him, he’s so 80′s.

Awww, your mum is lovely.
Thanks for the info ’bout the trailer… shant have know to go see it tutherwise.
I enjoyed your delightful turn at presenting with Helen Mirren.
So sorry you had to suffer through that awful red carpet, but you and your mom handled it with grace and charm.
I laughed when you feigned surprise to find that Katy was on tour and not at home doing your wash!
take care

Jesus, Russell, didn’t you run into anyone worth talking to? Those two reporters would have turned me off to the whole thing.
I like what you had to say Russell. Props for bringing your madre. Class act. Kissing Seacrest, hilarious!
Hilarious. Good job kissing Seacrest.
