If we win trophies, it is the most important thing. Of course, it’s good for a player to win individual awards and I will never say I don’t want to be the best player in the league or I don’t want to be the PFA Player of the Season.
I do what I love and what I always dreamed of doing for a living. I write love stories, and I have always had a publisher willing to publish them. I have a sizable and loyal audience. I have made best-seller lists and won awards. What more could anyone ask for?
Our goals, our dreams and ambitions have always been towards performing live music across the globe, and so when we were told we were performing at The Billboard Awards or being nominated for a VMA, they’re like extra bonuses.
Twice is a group with nine members who have all struggled in their own way to get where they are. We know we are so lucky to have the awards we’ve won, and to be a well-known group.
Honorary degrees and lifetime achievement awards are very encouraging. I know that it might sound strange that a writer who has published many books still needs encouragement, but this is true.
After a while, you want to sell a lot of records, win awards and touch as many people as you can, but you have to secure the foundation with your family. I’m a family man, but I’m a businessman, too.
To be honest I don’t really feel like I’m a part of the industry. I don’t get awards because the powers that be don’t really like me. I’m not like everyone else, I won’t do what everyone else does.
Awards shows mainly publicize the people giving the awards.
There are tons of actors and actresses I admire. But I really admire Jennifer Lawrence because she has won awards and made so many great movies, and she still seems so down-to-earth and funny.
I’ve always felt, and I think I’m qualified to say so because I’ve won a few awards, that it’s a terrible shame to put something in competition with something else to be able to sell something.
My kids can’t eat awards.
The awards or minor achievements along the way, the weekly things, hearing stuff like that makes me feel good obviously but that ain’t what drives me.

I have won many awards and I am very happy about this, but I am not the best player in the world.
My job as the host of a rock awards show is not to be as divisive as possible, but certainly you want to be able to interject your jokes and how you feel about stuff.
I don’t hanker after awards.
There are two things that create opportunities. One is being involved with something that makes money, and the other is winning awards. And the reason that winning the awards creates the opportunities is because it gives the people who are selling the picture the opportunity to make more money.
I definitely think awards ceremonies should have gender-neutral categories.
When you do what I do, there are a lot of institutions that give you awards. I’ve gotten maybe 20 medals. They’re glorious, and there’s a spirit behind them. But sometimes they give you this dreadful modern glass thing. I wish everyone could afford a loving cup.
I don’t want anyone to get seriously hurt. But I do watch awards shows to critique the clothes while I sit around eating chips in my sweat pants and in hopes of seeing some hilarious accidental nudity.
I would say that awards are for children. Because children need a tangible representation of their achievement. And as adults, you have to settle for the respect and admiration of your peers.
If we can manage to break free, to open the system and embrace all choices for education, we will be the first to give politicians awards to hang on their office walls.
I grew up watching the ‘People’s Choice Awards.’
It’s always weird when it comes to awards and awards season because how can you say that this performance is better than this performance? Art is so subjective.
I always look back to awards shows and think about being a kid watching them.
I can only point out a curious fact. Year after year the Nobel Awards bring a moment of happiness not only to the recipients, not only to colleagues and friends of the recipients, but even to strangers.
The reality is that we have all these awards and all these festivals that give out awards, so you sort of go, ‘okay, well, people liked the film, and I think it’s a good film, and it’s up for an award – well, I guess it should win the award then.’
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.
I have two Golden Boot awards at home. It would be nice to win another, but I wouldn’t mind it if I didn’t.
Before ever meeting Priyanka Chopra, I had heard her name coming out of Bollywood and was impressed: she was beautiful, talented, had made nearly 50 movies, earned multiple awards – a massive star.
There’s something so quirky and fun and nerdy about the Tony Awards… We’re dorks being silly up there.
Joe Morgan was the one guy that absolutely put our team really over the top. … Then we had George Foster come in; Ken Griffey Sr. was as good a two-place hitter as there has ever been in the game, and Cesar Geronimo won four Gold Glove awards. I mean, how could you ask for a better team?
I have won so many awards including the Padma Shri and Arjuna Award. But all these awards do not carry the kind of prestige they did once.
Dance music has evolved very much. From DJs playing at the Olympics, to playing at the Super Bowl, working with Cirque Du Soleil and even getting recognized at the Grammys with awards, dance music is growing in a big way.
The industry has a standard way of judging actors: they do ten films, they get X price, and they get this number of awards, seen at page three parties and all that – that is how they measure success. I don’t do it like that.
I do acting for the awards… and cash money.
I have written to Cabinet Minister Venkaiah Naidu to add a stuntman category in the National Awards to appreciate the work they do.
Thankfully, the meat of the Tony telecast is the performances from the shows, so the awards show kind of creates itself around the season, and then I fill in based on the vibe of the season in general. I’m happy that there’ll be so many legitimately good performances on the show.
The biggest problem with the national sports awards in India is that the selection committee which the government appoints every year does not have any real powers.
Though I was nominated for awards for films like ‘Tezaab’ and ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ but I never won an award. Now I am not even nominated for any awards but still I attend the award functions as I love being there despite figuring prominently in a lot of leg pulling that goes around in the award ceremonies.
Philly DJs sort of always won battles and always won awards and stuff like that and were always super sharp.
I only think that awards are important to everybody and if not that, a nomination serves as a recognition and a positive drive to do better work.
Because Olivia Newton-John wasn’t from Nashville, they didn’t like her winning our awards. I’ve got no complaints.
Most of my awards come from foreign festivals!
I’ve always said about awards that they’re meaningless until you win one, and then they’re best thing in the world. The other thing about awards is that they engender respect from areas where it might never have come from without it.
I love the Empire Awards. It is really different and laid back.
I don’t set out to win awards. I don’t think any musician does, but when you receive an award, it’s an affirmation: it means that people appreciate what you do.
I don’t expect to win awards while working in films.
Overall, we’ve lost risk-takers on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. All too often, stars play it safe.
I have received many awards, love, and recognition.
Great, big, serious novels always get awards. If it’s a battle between a great, big, serious novel and a funny novel, the funny novel is doomed.
I’m not interested in awards. I never have been. I don’t think they are important. Don’t get me wrong, if somebody gives me a prize, I thank them as gratefully as I know how, because it’s very nice to be given a prize. But I don’t think that awards ought to be sought.
I love the way Shah Rukh Khan host awards. He’s the one person that I look up to.
Most awards, you know, they don’t give you unless you go and get them – did you know that? Terribly discouraging.

Those critics awards come and go every year, but the finished movie is your work.
Chinese awards are always given to teams, but foreign awards are different.
It means a lot to be voted for awards by the fans and your team-mates.
‘Masquerade’ is the autobiography of Wyclef Jean. A lot of people know me through my work with Carlos Santana or Destiny’s Child, winning all those Grammy Awards, but you do not know what is going on inside me.
If you are looking for smart judging based on merit, skip the Academy Awards next year and pay attention to the Independent Spirit Awards.
