As a movie buff and reviewer, let me share my thoughts on the recent Breakthrough Prizes ceremony held on April 5. While Seth Rogen did throw a witty jab at our current president during his appearance, unfortunately for those who missed the live stream, that particular joke was snipped out in the official upload of the event. Even the edited clips featuring Rogen and Edward Norton have been tidied up to exclude a playful remark about attendees who happen to support the current presidential administration – a group primarily from the tech industry.
It’s astonishing to think that those in this room supported electing a man who managed to dismantle all of American science in just a week,” Rogen apparently stated in the now-deleted comment. “It’s incredible how quickly one can demolish a lot of science with $320 million and RFK Jr.
The Breakthrough Prizes informed The Hollywood Reporter (one of the event’s sponsors) that Rogen’s joke was among several changes made in the show. However, it appears questionable whether this justification holds water, given that the ceremony wasn’t bound by television network scheduling constraints since it wasn’t aired on TV. Instead, it’s available as a 90-minute video on the Breakthrough Prizes’ YouTube channel. Furthermore, it seems improbable that the separate clip of Rogen and Norton’s stage presentation would have been subject to an “originally planned” run time or required such edits.
As a film enthusiast, I can’t help but marvel at the incredible scientific strides we’ve witnessed annually since 2013, which led to the inception of the Breakthrough Prizes. This initiative was spearheaded by visionaries like Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Priscilla Chan, Anne Wojcicki, and the couple Yuri and Julia Milner. In a fascinating turn of events, both Zuckerberg and Brin found themselves at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida after the 2024 election, engaging with the president-elect. Last year, we even saw Elon Musk, the dynamic CEO behind Tesla and SpaceX, grace the stage at the Breakthrough Prize ceremony, as he was involved in a newly formed, enigmatic Department of Government Efficiency led by Trump.
Rogen and Norton were honoring a distinguished Dutch theoretical physicist, Gerardus’t Hooft (a Nobel laureate), with a special Breakthrough Prize for his remarkable work in the field of quantum field theory throughout his career.
