Funny guy Ben Stiller shocked the audience of the Academy Awards by mimicking Joaquin Phoenix and his strange behavior recently. Check out Ben Stiller’s Oscar video below.

Ben Stiller appeared on stage with Natalie Portman wearing dark glasses and sporting a huge scruffy beard. Stiller proceeded to mock Phoenix referring to his bizarre appearance on the “Late Show With David Letterman.”

“What’s going on with you?” asked Natalie Portman.

“Nothing. I just want to retire from being the funny guy, that’s all,” Stiller mumbled imitating Phoenix.

“You look like you work at a Hasidic meth lab,” she told him.

When Portman commented about his gum chewing, Stiller took it out of his mouth and stuck it on the podium. Phoenix had stuck his under Letterman’s desk.

During Phoenix’s appearance on David Letterman in February, Phoenix sported the huge beard and dark glasses and mumbled his way through the interview acting strangely.

Joaquin said he was serious about giving up acting to pursue music and said he’d like to return to the show someday as a musical guest.

“You know, that seems unlikely,” Letterman told him.

Tropic Thunder protests began recently by mentally disabled groups such as The Special Olympics and AAPD due to the movie’s character played by Ben Stiller, playing a mentally challenged person, which they find offensive. Come on!

Tropic Thunder stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., and other stars.

The premise of the movie is it’s a “movie within a movie”, where a bunch of bratty actors are making a hugh war movie and are way behind schedule. They go into the jungle in Asia to get a bit of motivation for their movie, but accidentally get into real-life trouble with bad ass drug lords.

With the comedy powerhouses of Ben Stiller and Jack Black, how can this movie go wrong?

Robert Downey Jr. plays an egotistic Australian actor that has his skin darkened in order to play an African American war hero in the “movie within the movie” film. You don’t see African American’s protesting the movie!

Tom Cruise also makes a cameo appearance in Tropic Thunder playing a “big wig” studio guy.

Only problem is the film has come under fire by mentally disabled groups due to Ben Stiller’s “mentally challenged” character, which they found very offensive.

Andrew J. Imparato, president of the American Association of People With Disabilities group, said the movie was “tasteless” and “offensive from start to finish”.

“I have a sense of humor,” said Imparato. “There were parts of the movie where I laughed, but it seems to me that the movie tried really hard to go too far and then pull back on everything that was offensive except the issue of people with intellectual disabilities. I just think Ben Stiller and the people involved in this movie just didn’t think it was going to be offensive.”

Tropic Thunder sounds really funny, don’t you guys think?

Robert Downey Jr, 42, has taken on the most controversial role in his Hollywood career. He wore a wig and black makeup to play a black man in “Tropic Thunder.”

Robert’s co-stars include Ben Stiller and Jack Black. Robert said that he realized that he would receive a backlash for his controversy. He hailed the role as a good one. He said that he hoped he had portrayed the role correctly.

This movie was about a group of proud actors who wanted to shoot an expensive Vietnam war movie. The film makers dropped them into the real jungle for them to get a real taste of life. The actors became involved in a conflict which they thought was make-believe and part of the set.

The list of Eleven Most Unsexiest Men was compiled by AOL’s The Cooler. They are:

11. Ben Stiller

10. Eric Dane

9. Ryan Phillipe

9. Josh Hartnett (number 9 is tied with 2 nominees)

8. Pete Wentz

7. James Blunt

6. Kevin Connolly

5. Howard Stern

4. Simon Cowell

3. Wilmer Vallderrama

2. Brandon Davis

1. Pete Doherty

This list was made up as a challenge to an earlier list done by Maxim magazine. Maxim announced their list called, “The Five Unsexiest Women Alive”. The original post is here. In case you have forgotten, they are:

5. Britney Spears

4. Madonna

3. Sandra Oh

2. Amy Winehouse

1. Sarah Jessica Parker

This list of unsexiest women was done using a yardstick. These women were faulted for their actions more than their looks. In other words, being a pain in the neck is unsexy.

It is a tradition for PEOPLE magazine to name the sexiest man alive annually. Esquire magazine would be naming the sexiest woman alive. For this year, Esquire has already chosen Charlize Theron to wear the crown.

Do you agree with the list of unsexiest men?

Your comment might stand a chance to win a new model of media player. It is pictured here.
