LOS ANGELES — Controversial rapper Kanye West interrupted the Best Picture winner on stage at the Academy Awards to say the 1935 Nazi propaganda movie “Triumph of the Will” was one of the greatest films of all time, confirmed sources who all said “not again” in unison.
“I’m really happy for the winners and I’ll let them finish, but Leni Riefenstahl had one of the best movies of all time,” said West without breaking eye contact with Ralph Fiennes for some reason. “It’s 2025, so it’s time we finally recognize the filmmaking accomplishments from 90 years ago. Plus, this one wasn’t three and a half hours long like a certain movie called ‘The Brutalist.’ I’ve never even heard of half of the movies in this category, and I refuse to live in a country that acknowledges Timothée Chalamet as a human being. ‘The Substance’ was pretty dope though.”
Fans of West seemed to enjoy him getting air time.
“I’m more upset that he spoiled the ending of that film for those of us who hadn’t seen it yet,” said West fan James Winston. “This reminded me of the time Ye interrupted Taylor Swift cheering her boyfriend Travis Kelce at a Chiefs game while she was on the Jumbotron. Not to mention it’s also like the time he took the mic from T-Swift mid-concert to tell her fans that Beyoncé actually had a better career than her. Man, I just can’t get enough of that guy barging in on famous pop stars.”
Experts were quick to point to other live events that West infiltrated.
“Let’s just say, whenever there’s an award show, make sure you keep Kanye as far away from the venue as humanly possible,” said pop culture blogger Mandy Struve. “Last week at the SAG Awards he interrupted Kieran Culkin during his acceptance speech after winning best male actor in a supporting role to say that Edward Norton in ‘American History X’ gave one of the best acting performances of all time. Before that, he rushed the stage at the Grammy’s to interrupt Chappel Roan and announce that Skrewdriver was one of the best bands of all time. This man simply has no boundaries.”
At press time, West doubled down by rushing the stage yet again to announce that “The Birth of a Nation” was also one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time.
