Where does the “I Can’t Offer an Opinion” meme come from?

In the early hours of February 29, 2016, actress Gloria Pires was commenting on the Oscars ceremony for TV Globo. Asked by host Maria Beltrão about Lady Gaga's chances in the best original song category, she flatly replied: “não sou capaz de opinar.” The phrase came up again later that night, including when she admitted she hadn't watched the winning animated film, Inside Out. These bare-bones answers, at odds with what's expected from a commentator, went viral the same night, and the line has since been used whenever someone refuses to settle a debate.
