Oscars 2015: Terrence Howard Makes By Far The Weirdest Speech Of The Night

‘Iron Man’ actor Terrence Howard had many of us a bit worried with his bizarre and confusing speech at this year’s Oscars.

His job was one of the pointless padding out bits where a star talks about the Best Picture nominees. But he got REALLY into it.

He was introducing ‘Whiplash’, ‘The Imitation Game’ and ‘Selma’ and was on the verge of tears while talking about the first film.

"How far would you go to find the greatness in themselves? ‘Whiplash’ — this film about a young musician desperately trying to please his ruthless teacher is a thrilling symphony that is both… it’s mind-blowing," he said with a sigh.

Next he almost knocked the microphone over while talking about ‘The Imitation Game’. He said: “Our next film is amazing. I’m blown away right now myself…” Cue a really long, awkward pause and the camera cutting to a concerned-looking Keira Knightley.

"Our next nominee for Best Picture reveals how the visionary father of modern computing Alan Turing helps defeat the Nazis only to have his own greatness stripped away from him for his sexual orientation."

Terrence regained his composure when he got to ‘Selma’, but it was still all rather strange. Watch the speech in the video above – from the behind the sofa if necessary.
