Gee, that was very sad to see his father not getting some mic time.
Im sure it was difficult for all up there on stage, but Mr. Irons looked like he really needed to express some of his hurt. His body language said a lot I think. The heavy burden of outliving a child no doubt..
That was really heavy to see.
