Between Clive Owen winning at the Golden Globes and the British Academy announcing its nominations, of which Sideways received only one, I'm feeling pretty humbled these days.
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.
This is a big surprise I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me.
While I've won five Junos, I've donated four of them to the National Archives in Ottawa. Which left my fifth Juno sitting, seemingly abandoned by its four family members, on my bookcase in my dining room.
In India I've been to all the award functions, but that was in Hindi; now it's in English so it's a much bigger scale.
The Golden Thumb is not as good as the Oscar, but it is a lot of fun.
I love the Empire Awards. It is really different and laid back.
If there weren't blacks, Jews and gays, there would no Oscars. Or anyone named Oscar, if you think about that.
I've seen enough successful writers who no longer seem to care when they are recognized with an award, and I think that's just tragic.
At these award shows, I love to see what people are going to wear.
Bollywood is a great place. You can expect support for award ceremonies, weddings, and funerals.
I go for a couple of parties; you won't find me at every film party and never at award ceremonies. I tried attending for the first three to four years, and I've performed at award shows. I sat in them, and I've also exited pretty fast from them. It's just not my place. I'd rather get their adulation in a cinema hall.
Award ceremonies are strange because you're sitting next to someone you've never met; you're celebrating with a total stranger.
I don't like ostentatious galas and stuff like that, but if you get to the Oscars, you'd better get used to it and you'd better enjoy it.
If I can win grammys then that means all you yet to be seen bedroom geniuses will one day TAKEOVER THE WORLD
Working in film, if you work with great directors, you learn that after every take you must let go. Sitting with my wife at the Academy Awards, we both let the moment just go.
When the Academy called, I panicked. I thought they might want their Oscars back and the pawn shop has been out of business for a while.
I used to really want to go on the stage and then the last couple of years I've done some presenting at some award shows. I was so nervous I thought I was going to be sick, so I don't think me on stage for any length of time would work too well.
You'll never see me at award ceremonies.
I handle screenings and award ceremonies really badly.
How does Macy Gray or Kid Rock not win over Christina Aguilera?
The Emmys is great, but the Golden Globes, you have the stars of television and the stars of movies in one place.
I'm not going to win an Oscar anytime soon. I'm not Meryl Streep.
Tonight we celebrate Hollywood's best and whitest, sorry... brightest.
You work hard making independent films for fourteen years and you get voted best breasts.
