I’ve always found it embarrassing to receive awards.
No matter how many awards you’ve won or how many sales you’ve got, come the next book it’s still a blank sheet of paper and you’re still panicking like hell that you’ve got nothing new to say.
Sometimes earning awards doesn’t matter as much as earning revenue or profit, or having a good response from the audience. No matter how many awards you win, if you can’t earn any profit from your movie, if the audience doesn’t like it, then it doesn’t matter how many awards you get.
I wouldn’t even hold my kids sometimes because I didn’t want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.
Awards and nominations really help sell films.
So how critics will perceive your film or your work, or whether your movie is going to make $100 million at the box office, or whether you are going to be winning any awards – well, you have no control over that.
BET, I’ll never, never, ever forget them for this wonderful blessing they gave to me, to be on the 10th annual BET awards for my comeback.
I’m a magician. A lot of people don’t know that I’ve won awards. I used to do big stage shows.
Don’t let awards get the best of you.
We have a lot to be thankful for in 2019; we’re so appreciative to have received the awards we have this year, and of course we are very thankful to everyone who loves K-pop and supports our music.
If we win games, those other things – awards and all of that – will take care of themselves.
I have won many awards for my singing, and I have sung in 8 languages.
I do have at home the most ridiculous number of awards for what I have done, which is nice in terms of being patted on the back, yet it does cure you of caring about what other people say about you. Ultimately, you must have your own standard of what is good enough.
I’ve seen some great write ups and I emailed her the other night because I saw her on an awards show recently.
It’s not awards per se that bother me; it’s entirely to do with the impetus they give for marketing a film.
‘Girls’ is a huge show, as far as buzz, and magazine covers, and getting a ton of copy, and awards. And yet I don’t think the viewership is huge.
It definitely is an ice breaker going into the awards already having one, and it was just so crazy when I heard I did win because I was in London at the time, and we were doing a festival out there, and my manager was like, ‘You just won an ACM.’ And I was like, ‘How? It’s so early!’
Performing the American Music Awards and having Harrison Ford introduce you behind the John Williams orchestra for Star Wars, and then Meghan Trainor is in the front just standing up and like, ‘I love you guys!’ That was a huge moment.
I once hosted the Butcher Shop of the Year Awards. There’s nothing like performing to the personification of the phrase a ‘sausage fest’ to hammer home how you’ve hit the big time.
Listening to Chris Moyles on Radio 1 is the most miserable thing any human being can do, but attending awards ceremonies isn’t far behind.
Oh yeah, I’m about to host the Genies, which are the Canadian Academy Awards.
Not all are starting from the same line; however, the finishing line is certainly the same. We all have to show how much money our films make or how many awards we win or what critical acclaim and commercial success our films have.
Awards go up at Mum and Dad’s, but home is home, and I don’t like to bring the office home.
Awards don’t really mean much.
When I occasionally indulge in sort of a ‘look back’ at highlights, it’s so interesting – it almost never comes from an image on a set or even the Academy Awards. It’s almost always a family trip or meeting and falling in love with Cheryl.
I’m happy to be associated with the Times Thyagaraja Awards, which takes Carnatic music to the young generation.
I was a little press writer when the National Endowment for the Arts came to my rescue and gave me an award. I couldn’t buy a light bulb. Almost more than the money, the awards are important because they show that someone believes in you.
It’s the only time that I’m ever nervous on stage, is when we’re doing live TV. Especially an awards show, because I know you can’t fix it.
In the United States, journalists receive awards for lying for the government and for the corporations.
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.
All of the individual honors are great, but there’s nothing better than winning as a team. Even your individual awards are much better when you win.
This is going to sound completely absurd, but I do sometimes feel like the enjoyment of an awards ceremony or the pride in the finished article hasn’t ever surpassed the joy of doing the work, of making it. The doing it is really the bit I’m there for.
At this stage, most of the awards I get are concerned with my longevity. Even I’m amazed at myself because there have been new generations since I’ve been born and new music that they create, so it’s amazing to still be on the radar.
My mother kept all my awards on the sideboard of her front room, and she polished them. She polished everything religiously. And it doesn’t take long for the very thin layer of gold to disappear and the base metal underneath to show through.
The Nobel Prizes are much more than awards to scholars; they are a celebration of civilization, of mankind, and of what makes humans unique – that is their intellect from which springs creativity.
Why do people need awards? Don’t you know your value and your worth? I don’t need anybody’s award or acceptance.
I’m a Golden Globe nominee, yes. It’s very nice. It’s a very nice thing, but I kind of think of all the awards I wasn’t ever nominated for, for years and things.
Had I not got into acting and modeling, I would have been a part of the national cricket team. I’m a right-handed batsman and a pace bowler and have won lots of awards during my college and school days.
I remember liking the MTV awards when I was a kid.
I’ve been working every year since I started acting, and I got many awards before I won the Oscar for ‘The Queen.’
‘Lincoln’ was OK; I thought it was a rock-solid eight out of 10, but it shouldn’t win all the awards.
I never wore glasses except when I had to read a teleprompter at an awards show or drive, so I didn’t notice much. I could exist in my head. It was kind of my escape from the world and my protection.
Nearly every industry in America, from carbon trading to bricklaying, hosts its own back-slapping awards night.
I can’t speak for every American comic, but for me, a great show is its own reward. Comedy is too subjective for awards.
