I can tell you that going to the Oscars is not as exciting as people think, at least for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.
I didn't really expect to be coming to the Oscars.
An Oscar means a lot of things because it's like the ultimate award for a filmmaker so it feels great. But I think you have to consider awards with some distance and not get obsessed with it. When you're creating you shouldn't think about it.
I don't really like the Oscars; it's a commercial promotional event. It helps immeasurably to sell films, but it's hardly the Nobel prize.
The Oscars is always the most special event of Awards Season and is the grand finale - there's just something about the atmosphere that makes it magical.
The Oscars are about the dynamics of that moment, of that season. It reflects what's been going on in the world every year through the movies. And a lot of times, what's popular at the movies is popular because of what's going on in the world at that moment.
I didn't expect to win the Oscar. You grow up watching the Oscars on TV and you think it happens to fancy people. It was really surreal.
I think that the Oscar gives you some kind of guts or something, it gives you the illusion that you can do it. It's good for business.
Awards season is always a huge amount of fun whether you're a part of it or not. It's always really exciting seeing what films are coming and a lot of new talent as well.
Going to the Oscars is always the most sensory overload and a huge amount of fun.
