In the technical commentary, Kevin mentions that the day after Damon and Ben got back from winning their Oscar, which was the day they shot the bus scene, that the atmosphere on the set was pretty weird since Ben and Damon never mentioned "ViewAskew" in their acceptance speech and that it took about a day for everything to get back to normal and for everyone to get over it. It didn't come across as any kind of joke in the commentary and Kevin sounded quite serious about the whole thing
My question is: Exactly why would anyone in "ViewAskew" think they deserved any kind of mention in their acceptance speech? Ben and Damon won their Oscar for a completely different movie, one with no affiliation to ViewAskew. The Oscar speeches have to be kept short to begin with, so you have to figure that they'd want to thank everyone involved with "Good Will Hunting" first in the limited time they are alloted for their thank-yous.
