The Spirit Awards are great too, they'll say anything because they're not televised. Another great drinking night.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As independent filmmakers, we are actually deeply dependent on each other. The Spirit Awards are a public expression of those bonds, the intricate set of relationships and histories that we filmmakers depend on to make our most personal work.
I love awards, especially if I get them.
If the awards buzz is happening, and it's coming from critics and people in the business and all of that, that's only more good news.
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.
On a personal level, I love the idea of hosting an awards show. I think that sounds like kind of a fun thing to do.
I'd said to my sweetheart a couple of days before that the SAG and Spirit Award nomination was amazing and I had no attachment to the Academy Award. I knew I was an underdog so I just decided to sleep through the announcement.
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!
It was great fun. We had gone on tour in between the sessions and reconnected with the audience and got a lot of energy back from them, a lot of positive energy.
I don't like awards ceremonies. I'd sooner go to the pub with mates I've known for years.
The three of us just try put our heads down and stay creative. The awards truly are just cake. It's one of those things that you never expect, but getting the head nod from either the fans or your peers, that's the ultimate compliment.
