If they didn't have an Oscar for people to shoot for, all they'd do is be making 'Dumb And Dumber' again and again.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Oscars have become such a big deal these days that it's just used as adjective.
This whole Oscar thing is so political. It's about how much a film grosses, and who's in it, and how well it has been promoted.
Don't get me wrong: I would not say no to an Oscar!
It's actually smarter to make a dumb film.
You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.
Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!
Every time an Oscar is given out, an agent gets his wings.
There are dumb actors. But there are dumb politicians and dumb bakers.
The poor Oscars - they always get slammed in the press.
Comedies don't get nominated for Oscars. It doesn't happen. So when we set out to do a movie, it's not what we're thinking about.
