How did Joaquin Phoenix burn bridges in Hollywood?


In his Oscars acceptance speech, he thanked everyone for giving him a "second chance" and said he knows he was a scoundrel and difficult to work with.

Well he’s been notoriously difficult to work with due to alcoholism and anxiety issues. He also received a lot of press for publicly calling the Oscars ‘bullshit’ a few years ago so maybe felt he should apologise to the Academy for that.
