I didn't read the article, nor watch the oscars, but think about it this way: the universe is billions of years old. In a couple hundred years or so, a human life could probably be simulated convincingly in a short time frame. (Especially if the rate of technology improvement accelerates greatly with the help of AI, which I can't see any reason it wouldn't). The odds that a human is born just before we have the technology to build a simulation that could conceivably fool us, and be computed in a relatively short time frame, seem fairly small.

Imagine how many more human lives could be simulated once such a singularity occurs than have previously existed in the realverse. Going into the future, if there is some reason to simulate human lives in great quantity, or just never-endingly (perhaps as some sort of living wikipedia entry), then simulated lives could outnumber 'real' (pre-singularity) human lives many times over.

So, given a machine / AI culture stretching on infinitely into the future, continuously simulating human lives for some reason, the chance that a person is born one of the 'real' unsimulated lives would be vanishingly small in these circumstances. So, whether or not one can find a 'glitch in the matrix,' which reveals whether or not we are actually in a simulation, it seems that one could imagine an infinite future of humans, with real humans (who may be completely unlike us) only occurring with vanishing measure. So in some (plausible?) futures we are almost certainly simulated...
