Q Wait, wait. Did they have to apologize in the 2010? I remember Jimmy Kimmel had to apologize for blackface or one of these people. Did they get away with it?
A Interesting point. So they didn't, so when it came out, it was so clearly satirizing, um, white actors who were trying to win an Oscar, right? Like, so it was clearly satirizing everyone. It was not, it was, you know, it was, it was sort of universally beloved, so much so that, that Robert Downey Jr. was nominated for an Oscar, which is a whole other backstory to how they made that happen, because it was kind of a continuation of the movie that they, as a joke, Petitioned the Academy, you know, said for your consideration and the Academy actually nominated him for an Oscar for the role. So it was so, it was so beloved, like what he did and how, how, how brilliant the role was that no one cared. But I believe it was like 2017 or 20 18 when this sort of like new crop of young people came through journalism and said, like, this is horrible. They tried to sort of cancel him. You might know Mark better if how he handled it, but like, It clearly, they did not cancel Robert Downey Jr. for doing a satirization of, of the role he played.
