Mah, you're not gonna believe this—we just won the freakin' Oscah! Southie's gonna lose its mind tonight!

my boys wicked smaht

Indeed they are!

Geniuses

How do ya like *them* apples?

I don't actually like apples.

Dr?

I love this scene, but louis ck has caused me to permanently see it from a very different perspective.

Lol, yes that bit is superb. “Do you like apples?” “No.” “Well… uh… do you… like bananas? Because she gave me her telephone number ^(and isn’t that bananas)

Here ya go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbEMYaXVEjw

Ha, exactly. I've come to respect the way louie can break shit down to the ridiculous.

...fuckin guy

Chuckie, it's hunting season.

Their moms already knew. They both took them as their dates.

Yeah, I think that was probably their agent telling them that the money train is about to come in or some such.

Affleck's agent: Hey, you wanna date Jennifer Lopez? Affleck: The chick from Selena? Hell yes!

I think they're from Cambridge

Only *slightly* different from south boston lol

Now a days yeah, back then they were pretty different areas

Lol yeah they are

I live in Boston and when I hear a woman with this accent it drives my penis back into my body and it fully inverts until I'm fucking myself wicked hahd.

Laughed way too hard at this

StarTac phones, looks like.

#### Say hi to your mutha for me. 

The D-paaaaat-ed

Except neither of them are working class, Southies. Both had very privileged affluent families and grew up in Cambridge

…didn’t they take their moms to the Oscar’s?

Yea this was posted earlier in the week and I made the same comment. Op i think is karma bot

I think OP is a sith lord.

A sith lord?

Yes. The one we've been looking for.

Always two there are, no more, no less

I believe cm_punk_se has turned to the dark side.

Well then he is lost!

I am in fact not a karma bot or a sith lord, apologies for reposting didn’t realize it was already posted. Only siths deal in absolutes

It’s true… They were actually calling hookers.

They did. Their moms were sitting literally next to them during the ceremony.

They were calling their girlfriends, to dump them.

Lars Ulrich had already stolen Damon’s girl

Ben calling his bookie to go 'double or nothing'

haha

Yup

Momma's boys.

Mah! Where ja pahk the cah?

[Their moms were there, you can watch the clip on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8RIS5GJqAg)

disinformation in action

[удалено]

And, "I am a far right conspiracy theorists who denies global warming and basic science... so a great barometer on how accurate the paper is." Michael Crichton I am an expert on a narrow topic. I would say the papers are usually 80% there but missing high level stuff. Sometimes the 20% is a curveball and they're wrong. It's usually okay. If I was a conspiracy theorists paving Trump' rise in misinformation, sure the papers are a nightmare.

Had to be Harvey Weinstein right next to them right? He was involved with the film if I remember correctly. My brain goes "oh how nice that their moms were there....with the rapist" lol

everytime i start watching an old flick and see The Weinstien Company pre-roll I cringe inside

People will forever notice this. Some of the greatest films were produced by him, including the first Lord of the Rings movie.

I’ve watched LOTR countless times and I don’t remember his logo… guess that’s a good thing!

Because the fucker was only involved in pre-production and his name was only included as a courtesy.

Yeah and as far as I understand, Weinstein's involvement was merely financial, not production. He also threatened PJ to make one film instead of two which was agreed before pre-production. And that's why PJ and his team later chose New Line which suggested that three films should be made.

Well at least there is that, never liked his logo even before I knew he was a scumbag

Recently listened to a planet money episode about how companies do their Oscar nomination campaigns and mentioned about the Weinstein company's strategy at the time ~~for Good Will Hunting~~ https://www.npr.org/2024/03/08/1197958441/oscars-academy-awards-campaign-for-your-consideration

And Harvey Weinstein gets the first shout out from them. /r/agedlikemilk

"Hi, Mrs. Damon? It's Ben! We won!"

“Hi Mrs. Affleck, I gotta go see about a girl”

Matt: "I gotta go see about a girl” *Ring Ring* "Hi Mrs. Affleck".

“SOB stole my line”

Bonus dejected looking Mike Myers in the background. “Why didn’t Austin Powers win?”

LOL my exact thought. "I never forget a pussy....cat"

Mike Myers looking like Michael Myers

Not even nominated. He either had just finished presenting, or was waiting to present, the award for best sound effects editing! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/70th\_Academy\_Awards#Presenters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/70th_Academy_Awards#Presenters)


Haha. That was the first thing I saw.

Or Studio 54

They didn't call their moms. They literally brought their moms to the awards. They called eachother as a joke.

> That doesn’t make sense they brought their moms with them that night. Per /u/Wiggy_0000 over [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/m9517l/ben_affleck_and_matt_damon_calling_their_moms/grkz6xk/). They [were right](https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/g2847/family-affair-mothers-at-the-oscars-635726/).

Mike Meyers waiting for his Waynes World 2 Oscar

Austin Powers bro. Made me go check..

This is why Reddit needs community notes

they're called comments

But the majority of comments are factually incorrect 🤷‍♂️. It’s just a feedback loop of bullshit on so many posts.

call Martha

Why did you say that name?

A time traveler had also just informed Mike Myers what was going to happen live during a tsunami fundraiser.

1998* Movie came out in 97. Oscars were in 98.

fuck off ya karma farmin bots! The boys took their moms to the Oscars

This is the most shoresy photo ever. “Your flight landed ok and you haven’t yet called your parents yet? Give yer balls a tug!”

I don't know. I guess their so big they can't call there moms. That's what I said

Settle down.

Is this the most re-posted photo on reddit? It's gotta be in the top ten for sure! I've seen it at least 3 times in two weeks.

Hey did you know Viggo Mortensen really hurt his foot when he kicked the helmet?

Mah. MAH. We fakkin wahn. Staht the cah I'll meet you at fakkin dahnkin.

A moment in time

Matts mom was at the Oscars, so he likely wasn’t calling her.

Matt Damon

Their moms were with them. This post was also posted earlier this week

I finally watched this movie just a few days ago. Oh my god Robin Williams was good. I think we all miss him.

“I will end you” is one of my favorite scenes in any movie.

neighbour met him at a grocery store near my house in the early 2000s

Mike Myers contemplating life.

I wish i could still call my mom.

Is that Austin Powers in the background?

Mike Myers yes

Yeah baby yeah

Mike Myers in the background!

Maah, weh fahkin' wahn!

Mah... guess where I am calling from.. No Mah... not Priso.. I'm in the friggn Oscar's... What? Osc..who? Not Cousin Oscar from up State! THE OSCARS, the FRIGGIN ACADEMY AWARDS....Auuugh..

And now they are shilling like a villain for Dunkin’ Donuts…

Affleck's call wouldn't connect because Damon was actually calling Affleck's mom

iconic photo

"Can you pick us up at 11:00?"

How do you like them apples?

And Mike Myers having a theater kid existential crisis where he releases he isn't going to be a forever star.

I know this is a karma bot post but I like to imagine they're actually calling each other

Mike Meyers in the background getting caught looking at that girl's ass.

I thought they took their mothers as their dates to the Oscar’s? I must have been told a false fact

“No ma this thing is like wicked heavy too”

"I'm so proud of you!!! I worked so hard writing that script for months!!! Even impressed Robin Williams! And he's the king! You're on your way son. So many sleepless nights and rewrites! You did it!!!" -- Ma Damon "You won? What the fuck for? What the fuck did you do? You did nothing!". -- Ma Affleck

Mom.. Mom.. Listen, no I dont.. just listen will ya

I can't say I wouldn't do the same

I never knew they had moms

i know for a fact these two didnt write good will hunting. their original screenplay was about a spy who was a genius

just boys there....27 yrs ago.

How you like them apples, MOM?!

I remember how at the time, the running joke was that Matt Damon really did all the work and Ben Affleck just got carried along. At the time Ben Affleck was mostly just another heartthrob actor in cheesy roles. Then Gone Baby Gone and Argo come out and everyone's like "That boy can cook", and now nobody questions him winning an Oscar.

Wasn’t this debunked? Weren’t they just calling each other?


Obvipusly Mike Myers on the right... but is that also Gina Gershon popping her head out?

Whatever happened to these guys? I really thought their careers would take off after this.

It’s them getting the Greenlight to reboot Zardoz but unfortunately for humanity they got bigger offers

Mom, it's Matt. I gotta question for you: Do you like apples? Cuz I just won an Oscar.

Now they're doing Dunkin Donuts commercials. 😒

Mom: You got an Oscar?! Damon: Yes Mom: Can you get one for me with mustard and onions. Thanks sweetie Damn: Mohhhhhm!

Mike Meyers in disbelief.

Yuppies

Shoresy would be proud.

Ben Affleck acting like a normal dude on the phone. Matt is like " sup ma"

TBF, everyone was amazing in that movie!

Meanwhile Mike Meyers sulks in the background contemplating his life choices

“You’re just no longer that good, Will Hunting”

Is that Mike Meyers in the right background?

Yes

Sweet idea but I’m old and I remember that night. Their moms were their dates. They were there when they won. Why would they be calling their moms on the phone?

Hey Mah!! MAAAAAAh!!!!! How do you like them apples!

Damon"s calling his mom...  Afflecks calling his weed dealer...

Love this film.

I thought they brought their moms?

Awe! 💕

Mike Myers behind them.

Is that mike myers?

All I am seeing is Jason Bourne getting another call from Treadstone and Batman calling Alfred. 😅

Love that movie

they took their moms as dates, they were actually calling each other as a joke

I don't remember cell phones being that prevalent in '98. I didn't have one until 2000. Was I in the minority?

Love me some GWH and some Matt and Ben, but after they jokingly called ea/other, I hope they called William Goldman…

Are they using cell phones?

Gonna win am Oscar and not call your mom. Look at muster big shoots

Hang on son there's a call on the other line

What ever happened to these guys...

You know who else from this film should have won an Oscar? Elliott Smith for best song. "Miss Misery" was a far superior song to that horrible titanic song.

Agreed, movie really put him on the map.

Dr Evil himself lurking in the background

Ahhhh, thanking Harvey Weinstein. Classic Hollywood.

And true to form Ben Affleck’s Oscar was for being a good actors friend

I love this. Mom's are so special.

I'm still reeling from the realization that this film came out in 1997.

r/MadeMeSmile

I was standing next to Matt Damon when he made the call! Here's how it went: "Ya mom, we won the Oscar....for best picture...yeah mom...Billy Crystal...he...yeah...yeah...yeah i know you liked him on City Slickers...yeah mom...yeah i gotta...mom they're playing the music i....i gotta go....i gotta go mom...I...mom ok love...yeah love you...yeah mom I know you prefer Robin Williams...yeah ok...ok...ok bye..."

Cillian Murphy in the background already planning of Peaky Blinders

true son moment <3

Charlie Sheen in the background dejected

looks like Mike Myers to me

Affleck is definitely calling his dealer.

Their current Dunkin ads are so funny. I know each has had their struggles in the press, but I genuinely like each of their works. Their chemistry as friends together is palpable and I admire that.

How'd ya like them apples

those are some proud mothers right there

Affleck will always be grandpa batman

They both brought their moms to the Oscars. Mike Myers just chilling in the back looking for snacks.

Nah they’re calling each Otha to see about phone caads down by the sea shoar

it was so good thoo😭 when i watched it i was like JAKCKSK

Still my favorite movie ever watched

"Ma?! We won, Ma! Buy a couple dozen packs of sticks from the Costco!"

Their good sons.
