"The Room" director Tommy Wiseau had a lot in his mind during the Golden Globe awards ceremony, but unfortunately, best actor for comedy James Franco cut him off before he could make his speech.
That said, it was Franco who invited Wiseau since the former won the award for emulating the latter's performance in "The Room" for his recent comedy movie "The Disaster Artist," which is basically a slice-of-life movie for it.
It can be recalled that Franco physically stopped Wiseau from grabbing the microphone and relaying his message to the ceremony. This left a lot of people and some of Franco's co-stars, particularly comedy actor Seth Rogen, put down since they wanted to hear what the notoriously campy "The Room" director would say.
Their wishes were fulfilled when Wiseau told the LA Times that it would have been, "If a lot of people loved each other, the world would be a better place to live. See 'The Room,' have fun, and enjoy life. The American Dream is alive, and it's real."
Those who have seen the "The Room," will recall that this was one of the most famous lines which Wiseau's character uttered in the movie, and he probably meant to say it as a joke during the ceremony.
Franco thanked Wiseau for making his success possible and even revealed that it was actually a traffic jam caused by the Golden Globe awards 19 years ago which inspired Wiseau to create his own movie. And, he did so, stating that since no one wanted him in Hollywood, and was not invited in Golden Globe, he will make his own movie, no matter what.
Wiseau became quite increasingly popular after he released his 2003 drama "The Room" which he directed, wrote, starred in, and self-promoted to get into theatres in hopes of winning an Academy Award. The movie has since then become a "Citizen Kane" of bad movies, due to how it's execution for its source material was almost alien and poorly written compared to the usual industry standards.
The film is also a cult classic for people making fun of bad movies and the meme culture, so much so, that it even inspired Franco and company to make an award-winning chronicle out of Wiseau's exploits for it.
