Being nominated is the win. For me, being nominated is winning. It's just unbelievable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It hasn't been hard getting nominated, but winning it is another thing. The competition is tough.
You want to win. Everyone says, 'It's just an honor to be nominated,' but that's so not true. You want to win.
I don't do what I do to get nominated. I do what I do because I love it.
Well, you know the old line - to be nominated is what it's all about. I think that I've done pretty well - I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards in total, so I don't really have any complaints.
I am always a little surprised when anyone sees anything I make, so being nominated for the Oscar is beyond amazing - what a tremendous honor.
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!
You know those award shows. The cliche is that it's an honor just to be nominated, but that happens to be true. Whoever wins it in the end, I don't know, sometimes it feels arbitrary. Sometimes it feels like it's deserving.
I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.
I think anytime you get nominated for an award, it's a very humbling thing.
