Obama: "I'm ready to negotiate with you, Iran." Iran: "Fuck you."

Well they have to talk about something. What's wrong with talking about the theme of the movie?

Nothing - keep it to that - all of them. I used him as the latest example and perhaps a poor one. Oh well.
Take the award say thank and go away. I don't think its right for them to use that setting to espouse their political beliefs. Put it on a blog.

That would be akin to me talking politics to every client I speak to, or when someone calls in for IT help, or the pizza delivery guy or your auto mechanic...

You and the pizza guy and the mechanic can talk politics, or whatever, but you risk losing your customer. So do actors.

No, it isn't really the same thing at all. It is an award show for industry people. While it may be broadcast to the masses, it is still an industry show awarding excellence in that industry. And most of the people in that industry happen to support gay rights, which is partly what the movie was about. See the difference?
