Billy Bob Thornton shares rare views about acceptance speeches

Billy Bob Thornton shared his hard-hitting thoughts on actors taking their political stances while accepting an award.

As shown Oscar winner actor, the recipient of the award must “only honor the people” who helped win the award.

The Bad Santa star noted, “There’s a time and a place for that… you have to stick with it [the honor] It’s Don’t go there and talk about saving signs in Wisconsin or something – you know what I’m saying?”

Thornton added, “People would argue and say, ‘Well, no, because I have a voice and because everybody knows me. This is a great platform for me to put it out there.’

In conclusion, he said that if the star is really honest about wanting to save the critics and have “one billion dollars … [then]”They’ve got to save the f****.”

“I mean, you got a lot of money to save the badge, trust me, that’s going to hurt your budget.”
