Why he might be annoying:

    He likes to play villains.
    He dropped out of college to pursue acting.
    He lost the Supporting Actor Golden Globe to Kodi Smit-McPhee in Power of the Dog, ruining his perfect award streak.
    He's rarely without his wide-rimmed Kangor hats in public appearances (mainly so he can see his interpreter over the camera flashes).
    He joked in his Oscar acceptance speech about wanting to teach Joe and Jill Biden 'dirty sign language' during the CODA cast's trip to the White House.
