"Viewers watching from home were shocked that the songwriters of Golden were cut-off during their acceptance speech for Best Original Song. 'Alright f*** the Oscars for cutting off Best Original Song for Golden KPop Demon Hunters. Absolute disrespect and disgraceful to the creatives behind the biggest song of the year,' one user wrote on X."
"KPop Demon Hunters fans have called this disrespectful. The Oscars famously plays off award recipients who go over their allotted time, but the crew had only been on stage for about a minute before getting cut off, and other winners seemed to be granted more time to make comments and offer thank-yous."
The Academy Awards ceremony generated controversy when KPop Demon Hunters' songwriting team won Best Original Song for 'Golden' but were played off stage after approximately one minute of their acceptance speech. The abrupt cutoff drew significant backlash on social media, with fans arguing the treatment was disrespectful and unfair compared to other award recipients who received more time to speak. While the Oscars traditionally enforce time limits for speeches, viewers noted the winners had barely begun their remarks before being interrupted. Event organizers indicated they would reassess how the ceremony handles acceptance speeches moving forward.
