A lot of biopics to me feel very much like someone is standing in front of the camera and is reading a Wikipedia page to you, like someone is reciting event. Did you know this happened?

I think I was alone a lot by circumstance and then by choice. Graham Moore awkwardchoicecircumstance share on social
I think everyone practices their Oscars acceptance speech with a shampoo bottle, and I've done my fair share of them. It's really surreal to be able to do it in real life. Graham Moore acceptancebottlefair Change image and share on social
