Overall, we've lost risk-takers on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. All too often, stars play it safe.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What we forget is that the Academy is a star-maker, or it reinforces the stardom of people.
As a general rule, I don't plan to travel with my Oscars, but we may have to make an exception.
That Oscar can be a jinx... It can... damage irreparably one's relations with family, friends. It's an uneasy head that wears the crown.
Actors take risks all the time. We put ourselves on the line. It is creative to be able to interpret someone's words and breathe life into them.
I like to create an atmosphere where actors feel safe enough to take risks.
The Academy and the Oscars have been very gracious to me.
As I'm always fond of telling hosts at the Oscars who are doing it for their first time, for everybody who wins, there are four people who don't. As the evening wears on, the room fills up with losers, and then they are bitter.
You've got to keep taking certain risks, because my priority is in acting, it's not in movie stardom.
It is true I'd rather get a hole in one than win an Academy Award.
Whether you are right in the middle of a glamorous event or watching it from the sidelines, the red carpet Oscar events set the stage to showcase the latest designs and styles for those watching around the world.
