on Reddit<\/a> wrote under video from the winners interview room.<\/p>\n\u201cGlad they addressed the cutoff! They should\u2019ve had more time,\u201d a fan wrote on YouTube.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank the heavens they finished their speech here. The cutoff was the singular bad thing about an otherwise ecstatic, historic and extremely joyful win,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n
While KPop Demon Hunters had already won the award for Best Animated Feature Film by the time that Best Original Song came around towards the end of the night, many at home were excited to see Ejae and crew accept the award after having heard their song countless times over the past year or so since the film released. <\/p>\n
Since premiering on Netflix in 2025, the movie has become the most watched film on the platform while Golden has remained on the charts similarly alongside other songs from the movie.<\/p>\n
For that reason, fans were waiting impatiently to see what the songwriting and producing team had to say about the win \u2014 which becomes the first KPop song to ever win an Oscar \u2014 only for the Oscars to dramatically turn up the music and zoom out to cut away. It was a shocking moment that made some at home question what they were seeing.<\/p>\n
While the Academy has been known in the past to play off winners who have not gotten through their speeches or let other members of the team onstage speak, the loud and sudden playing of the music and the cut away took many by surprise to say the least.<\/p>\n
\u201cStarting the orchestra full blast instead of slowly playing them off was pretty nasty work,\u201d one person commented on social media.<\/p>\n
In the end, the entire group got the chance to share their thanks and finish their speeches backstage, with Ejae giving love to Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, who lend their singing voices to Mira and Zoey for the movie. \u201cI needed to thank them on stage and I didn\u2019t get to \u2019cause they just cut us off but I wanted to thank Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna, they killed it with their singing and they\u2019re just incredible people. I love them so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Yu Han Lee used the opportunity to thank their families, saying, \u201cthis is an incredible honor,\u201d as Sonnenblick shouted out his own husband, family, and the fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody who worked on this movie, all the animators, it was a real collaboration across the board. It\u2019s a movie where part of the movie is about looking at someone you\u2019ve been taught to hate and to fear and starting to trust, maybe even love them, and that\u2019s part of what the movie is about,\u201d said Sonneblick. \u201cIt\u2019s not \u2018I\u2019m going up, up, up,\u2019 it\u2019s \u2018we\u2019re going up, up, up,\u2019 and that\u2019s part of the reason we\u2019re on stage right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
