Awards are not the only markers of success; I don't judge myself just based on them. I believe that each cinema-goer has his own mental trophies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes earning awards doesn't matter as much as earning revenue or profit, or having a good response from the audience. No matter how many awards you win, if you can't earn any profit from your movie, if the audience doesn't like it, then it doesn't matter how many awards you get.
I believe, for an actor, both the success of his film and awards are equally important.
I'm not a great believer in awards-of course the fact that I've never won one has nothing to do with it at all!
Except that awards are competitive, which is a negative thing, they are wonderful for singling out deserving individuals and bringing their work to the attention of many potential readers who might otherwise have been totally unaware of them.
Awards don't really mean much.
At one level, an award is an endorsement, a confirmation, but I always find myself looking askance at awards and good reviews, as though another Garry Disher had earned them.
Awards mean absolutely nothing if you don't get it. If you do get it, they're the best thing in the world.
Awards are important for all directors because they improve your working conditions. You're only as good as your last film, so if you get prizes or large audiences, then you get more money for your next film.
Awards are for young people. They just are.
Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.
