"I'm going to share some notes," Ford began, speaking slowly as he unfolded a paper. "Some editorial suggestions that were prepared after the screening of a movie I was in. Opening: Too choppy. Why is this voice over track so terrible? He sounds drugged." Ford continued to read the disparaging comments, much to the entertainment of the Academy. Finally, he delivered a gut-wrenching remark: "This movie gets worse every screening."

Many viewers and actors alike were certainly wondering where Ford was going with his bit. "That movie was called 'Blade Runner,'" Ford finally revealed. The Academy began to applaud. "And these notes can help us understand why the editing process can often get a little complicated." Ford then read off the nominees for the award and announced "Sound of Metal" as the winner, per SF Gate. Naturally, Twitter users fans were quick to share their thoughts on Harrison Ford's speech.
