My father’s failures inspired me the most and still drive me. He worked for 10 years, but wasn’t invited to award functions, forget being nominated. So winning even one trophy is a high for our family.
I just want to be nominated; beggars can’t be choosers.
If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.
I had no idea what to expect when we did Ladies’ Night. I didn’t think it was going to get nominated for a Grammy. I didn’t know that we would have to perform on the MTV Awards show.
A lot of young Latino actors have said to me, ‘Why can’t we get an Oscar? Why can’t we be nominated?’ And the terrible truth is that if you don’t get the right parts, you’re not going to be. Are you going to get an Oscar nomination for one of those Judd Apatow movies? Not likely, no matter what nationality you are.
I truly am of the belief that I should be nominated and elected ‘Emperor of North America’ and given a shot at being ruler of the universe, and I haven’t had the chance to craft my campaigns for these offices yet because I’ve been very busy with Brock Lesnar.
I never enjoyed making videos, even though the ‘Total Eclipse’ video was nominated for a Grammy along with the song. We lost out to the ‘Billie Jean’ video.
While the World Bank is an inter-governmental institution, drawing its funds from member governments and run by a board of directors nominated by member governments, its policies have increasingly become sensitive to civil society pressure and NGO agendas.
A lot of things went incredibly well for ‘Scrubs’: from a ridiculous number of downloads on the iPods, to whenever they issue a new season on DVD it kinda sells out, and we got nominated for an Emmy. To be picked up for six years is all gravy, man.
Since I was first nominated to serve as Treasury Secretary, I have been maligned as taking advantage of others’ hardships in order to earn a buck. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Every time ‘Lady Macbeth’ and everyone involved in the film gets nominated, it’s amazing.
I was nominated 13 times during my 15-week stay in ‘Bigg Boss’ but they couldn’t get me out. That is because I was truthful and entertained the audience with my good sense of humour.
They pulled Resurrection out of the theatres, so it was running in New York and I was nominated for the Oscar and there was no ad in the newspapers to say it was running. So it was literally killed.
I try to keep my life low key, and I don’t like going to parties unless they’re thrown by a friend of mine, or they’re to do with a project I’m in, or it’s because I’ve been nominated for an award.
I want to single out Kathryn Hahn’s performance in Jill Soloway’s film ‘Afternoon Delight,’ which in my opinion should have been nominated for an Oscar. I think it’s one of the greatest female performances I’ve ever seen on screen, and I think she’s wildly talented.
When I was nominated for an Oscar and seated next to Martin Scorsese, there was nothing in my mind that made me think, ‘Hey, in three years maybe I’ll make another remake of ‘Punisher.”
I literally have over a thousand emails in my inbox that need to be returned. I’m sure all of my friends and certain family members are like, ‘Oh, look who got nominated for an Emmy and doesn’t want to write me an email back!’ I need a good few hours to just sit and get on the phone.
I guess winning an Oscar is the ultimate dream. A lot of amazing actors go their whole career without even being nominated. So that would definitely be a goal to reach. It’s a difficult one, but I’m aiming for it!
I’ve been nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes, but I’ve never won one and I probably never will.
I’ve been nominated for 12 Emmys, and we won – for ‘Top Chef’ – the only time I didn’t go.
I’m the C.E.O., nominated by the shareholders. If they’re not happy, I have to take the consequences.
I feel like it’s not a bad average for every album I’ve got in the United States to be nominated for something off the album.
He has selected from a group of overwhelming candidates. This candidate was nominated to the Supreme Court because of his extremely overwhelming qualifications.
I was excited to be nominated for the Grammy, but prizes are a little strange.
I’m still pulled over… We were nominated for two Oscars for ‘Monster’s Ball,’ and I almost didn’t make the Oscars because I got pulled over in Beverly Hills.
I was surprised I was nominated for an Oscar because ‘Cocoon’ was such an ensemble picture. But now I’m certain it wasn’t only for ‘Cocoon.’ It was a lifetime award, so I accepted it in that vein, and it probably meant more from a recognition standpoint.
You want to win. Everyone says, ‘It’s just an honor to be nominated,’ but that’s so not true. You want to win.
It’s been 80 years since the Senate has confirmed a Supreme Court nominee who was nominated during an election. And particularly when the court hangs in the balance, it makes no sense whatsoever to give Barack Obama the power to jam through a judge in the final election year.
Everyone says, ‘It’s just an honor to be nominated,’ but that’s so not true. You want to win.
I was disappointed that ‘Tangled’ didn’t get nominated for Best Animated Film.
I remember watching Quentin Tarantino accept an Academy Award for screenwriting for ‘Pulp Fiction.’ If I’d known then that 15 years later one of his movies would again be nominated for an Oscar and I’d be in it – that would be pretty crazy.
I know a lot of procedurals have huge viewership, yet they’re never nominated for awards.
I will support the Republican nominee. I don’t think that’s going to be Donald Trump. My party has historically nominated someone who’s a mainstream conservative.
Moonstruck… was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
I don’t think international cinema is ready to embrace mainstream Indian cinema unconditionally. Even Mira Nair’s ‘Monsoon Wedding’ didn’t get to the Oscars after being nominated for the Golden Globe Awards.
‘Spamalot’ was a blip! I’ve never done anything else like that, and yet it’s the only time I’ve ever been nominated for an Olivier award!
