He claimed he was the Oscar reporter for Howard Stern's SiriusXM show. "I love it, it's really an interesting perspective to be part of the media machine," Arquette told The Hollywood Reporter. "I've never been to the press room -- that's where the fun people are."
Arquette was up for fun. After greeting Django Unchained's supporting-actor winner Christoph Waltz as "Christopher," Arquette said: "Congratulations. Your second Oscar. I’ve been acting 23 years, and I’ve never won an Academy Award."
"Are you excited about the possibility of a black Pope?" said Arquette.
Said Waltz: "Well, I have to tell you one thing, it would be an exciting thing.
I am a very adamant and non -- I don’t know, an adamant nonracist, I don’t care whether the black is -- black -- whether the pope is black or white or whatever color. If we’re nonracists, then we have to stay nonracists all the way."
Arquette told John Kahrs, whose best animated short winner Paperman innovatively blends drawing with computer animation: "I loved your film. Um, I'm an actor, David Arquette." Kahrs replied, "I recognize you."
Later, Arquette looked a bit worried. "I don't know if they're going to let me ask any more questions," he told THR. "I got reprimanded a little, to keep it to one question and not to have conversations. I think when they said that, it was directed at me."
Although Arquette vigorously waved the sheet of paper bearing his Oscar journalist number, 171, the Academy official overlooked him and called other journalists' numbers when Jennifer Lawrence and Daniel Day-Lewis came backstage.
bless him tbh
