Jason Blum, who has produced such blockbusters as “Whiplash” and “Get Out,” was booed during his acceptance speech at the festival, held in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
“The great thing about this country is that you can like [Donald] Trump, but I don’t have to, and I can say what I feel about it — and I don’t like it!,” he responded as a few people started walking out of the Steve Tisch Cinema Center inside the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills.
Blum went on as the booing got louder and more aggressive, with shouting and whistling disrupting him.
