Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They’re to promote each other’s movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they’ll go to see them. It’s still the same.
The industry does have some influence on who gets other awards. With the Mercury Prize, they don’t. Jon comes from the business, but his heart is still very much in the music. Currently, we have about 12 major names that have said they want to be a part of MUDDA.
It doesn’t matter who you are, how many awards you’ve won, how popular you are, or how much critical acclaim you’ve had.
This is the thing I have with awards: If awards would make your movie more pretty, I would really get super excited about it. But your movie’s done. You get awards, you don’t get awards… They don’t make your movie more ugly or pretty.
I got style icon awards; I was given the ‘HT’ Most Stylish award. That happened, like, on the second day I was out of the ‘Bigg Boss’ house.
Americans are always mortified when I tell them this, but in England, it’s a tradition to put your plaques and photographs and awards and gold records and stuff in your bathroom. I don’t know why.
When I die, it’s going to read, ‘Game Show Fixture Passes Away.’ Nothing about the theater, or Tony Awards, or Emmys. But it doesn’t bother me.
It’s what I do. I don’t deserve any awards for this, it’s just music. It’s just writing songs. You sit down, you write a song, you record it. You tour and play the songs live, dress them up a bit differently, or dress them down.
I believe in an artiste’s life, there are two kinds of awards – first is the appreciation and good wishes he or she gets for his work from the audience and secondly, the recognition in the form of awards.
Submitting myself for awards feels like a weird kind of horn-blowing that’s not comfortable for me. I’m really happy when someone likes my work, but I don’t like marketing myself, putting myself on display.
Films with predominantly white casts can come in any form, tell any story, big or small. For black films, you have the light, fluffy rom-coms or ‘Madea’ movies, and then you have the black-torture awards movie.
I went to a couple Academy Awards parties and I was definitely like, ‘Whoa, no one will talk to me.’
I’ve been nominated for Academy Awards, I know what I’m doing.
We actors should be given the highest awards for performing in the middle of people. I can prepare in the most crowded of places, and I know how to take a journey into my mind and separate myself from the crowd. I can act anywhere.
For the most part, these awards shows, while they are fun, they’re high-pressure for the people who are nominated and for those walking the red carpet.
There is a strange sort of reasoning in Hollywood that musicals are less worthy of Academy consideration than dramas. It’s a form of snobbism, the same sort that perpetuates the idea that drama is more deserving of Awards than comedy.
As much as any other producer in the modern movie age, Harvey Weinstein has been a subject of media fascination. The grossness, the bullying, the unbridled exercising of personal power, the craven appetites, the awards and his good taste in films fed that fascination.
The Hollywood Film Awards were really stressful. It was the biggest press line I’d ever seen.
Happiness does not come from football awards. It’s terrible to correlate happiness with football. Happiness comes from a good job, being able to feed your wife and kids. I don’t dream football, I dream the American dream – two cars in a garage, be a happy father.
But listen, I’m 29-years-old, I’m really lucky to be there and whatever happens I’ve been really blessed already. I have plenty of awards for this movie and if this was it for me I’d be really content.
After winning so many debut awards, I never thought I would win for ‘Ishaqzaade.’
I could have a roomful of awards and it wouldn’t mean beans.
I couldn’t speak Japanese very well, passport regulations were changing, I felt British, and my future was in Britain. And it would also make me eligible for literary awards. But I still think I’m regarded as one of their own in Japan.
I want my films to make money first. Awards and all can come later.
I want the audience to watch my films, and that is what I value more than any awards.
After the enormous success of All About my Mother, all the awards and everything, I wanted to start a movie in exactly the same place that I used to be before. I wanted to show that all of the success had not changed my perception.
Basically, my goal in life is to be David Hyde Pierce – go to Hollywood, make some money, come back and just win some Tony Awards.
I got a break in 1999 in Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Jungle.’ I won awards for ‘Jungle.’
I was one of the horses of the Louis B. Mayer stable, and I thought the films I was given after my Academy Awards were not worthy.
I recently had the opportunity to participate in Inc.’s first-ever ‘Hire Power Awards’ event in Washington, D.C. The event was a testament to the power of American entrepreneurship and the role that it plays in driving job creation and innovation in a wide array of industries.
I have an awards cabinet in my studio where I keep my eight Oscars, my 11 Grammys, my seven Golden Globes, and my Tony Award.
It was pretty insane to play the Grammy Awards and looking out in the audience and seeing rock royalty – Bono and Paul McCartney. It was crazy.
Hollywood and fashion are symbiotic partners, especially during awards season.
I’ve never won many awards, I didn’t get certificates for swimming or anything.
The reason most comedies don’t win awards is that the filmmakers put the comedy first. This means you have to create a story around the jokes.
‘Entourage’ is a very, very, very unique acting experience. I could go in to win 1000 Academy Awards, and it would never be as much fun as the show.
Time’s Up is finally, it would seem, activism with some teeth. It isn’t perfect, however. One of the first acts of protest – urging celebrities to wear black to awards shows – reveals a worrisome willingness to keep lunging toward those lazy, meaningless and empty gestures that cheapen the seriousness of an issue.
Rock evolved out of rebellion, so when you turn on the Billboard Awards or something like the Grammys, and there’s no rock on there, that’s a good sign – because that means that rock is not welcome inside of a pop format.
I loved all awards shows growing up, but of course, the Oscars was the biggest one.
Grammys, American Music Awards, successful albums, I’d pick my kids any day over any of it.
Of all the awards given to NFL athletes, the Walter Payton Man of the Year is the one that stands out above the rest to me because of what it represents.
I have a hard time with awards shows in general because I’ve never been part of the conversation. I just show up to work and do my job because I love the job and I love the people I get to make TV with. When someone wants to applaud it more than just watching it, that makes me somewhat uncomfortable.
I would like to address the issue of farmers through my craft – my films. But, the sad part is that such films win awards but don’t get any rewards at the BO.
Awards are lovely and always welcome.
I’m really proud that we have so many companies on the same stage, putting competition aside to share a first look at where games are going in 2019 and beyond. That’s something a lot of awards shows don’t do. We think the urgency and excitement around that drives a lot of viewers.
I was only 24 years old when a lady called Sabina Sehgal Saikia – the then ‘Delhi Times’ editor – asked me to host the ‘Times Food Guide Awards,’ so it was with The ‘Times of India’ that my career began in this field.
Awards nights are a part of our modern culture; they’re part of what we do.
My interest in Women in Film came from attending the Crystal Awards in 1998 where Meryl Streep and producers Gale Anne Hurd and Lucy Fisher were honored with the annual award.
My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards, selling out concert dates, selling more albums than anyone else. Now, my goals are to see my grandchildren grown, live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.
When it comes to awards and things like that – I don’t know why – I just always sit in amazement and never really expect it.
I’ve never been a fan of individual awards because football is such a team sport. There’s so many things that goes into making plays. It’s about teammates trusting one another and working together.
I get embarrassed on the red carpet at awards ceremonies. The whole celebrity thing is embarrassing.
My sixth book, ‘A Breath of Snow and Ashes,’ was nominated for a number of book awards, one of which was The Quill Award, and they had it in New York at the Natural History Museum.
I compose music for films, and by the grace of God, I’ve got a few awards. That’s it.
I believe that if I don’t take care of my family as a great leader and husband and father, I could have all kinds of accolades and awards and a big mantle up there or something with a bunch of statuettes, but if my children don’t respect me, if I haven’t been a good husband, then that’s all a joke to me.
