AMPAS"We meant no offense," TJ Martin, one of the documentary filmmakers behind Undefeated, proclaimed backstage—right after he was bleeped for saying his win was "f--king awesome."
Any regrets?
"It's just heartbreaking that we got cut off," lamented Martin, who said he would have liked more time to talk about his P. Diddy-produced movie.
The champagne-flute holding Diddy, by the way, was grandstanding backstage during Martin's talk. F-words seemed the last thing on the festive man's mind.
When I reminded Martin that he's actually the second person to say the f-word on live Oscar TV—after Melissa Leo last year, Martin blushed.
I asked if this was some sort of one-upping?
"No," Martin explained, "It's just that you have 45 seconds to say everything."
