The Academia Prizes are “asinine” and “dubious awards.” : Ethan Hawke


If you're having an Oscar celebration Weekend evening and you've welcomed Ethan Hawke, don't depend on him displaying up.

Gotham Journal has released an meeting with Hawke in which the acting professional has gone on history about how he seems about the Academia Prizes, and his views are not exactly type. "People want to convert everything in this nation into a competitors," Hawke said. "It's so asinine ... if you look at how many forgettable, ridiculous films have won Academia awards and how many average artists have Academia awards above their fire place. Creating a concern of pursuing these bogus green beans and cash and suspicious awards, I think it's really dangerous."

At least Hawke talks from a place of encounter. He's been selected twice for an Oscar -- he was up for Best Assisting Oscar for 2001's "Training Day," and he was one of four authors selected for Best Tailored Movie script for 2004's "Before Sundown." But if Hawke was expecting for some Oscar activity for "Before Delayed evening," the "Before Sunset" follow-up that lately was released at the Sundance Movie Event, he should probably get prepared for a disappointment.

Hawke, of course, is hardly the first or only acting professional to query the value of the Academia awards. Joaquin Arizona, selected this season for his stunning performance in John Johnson Anderson's "The Expert," informed a writer for Interview Journal that he considered the Academia Prizes were "total, complete bulls---, and I don't want to be a aspect of it. I don't believe in it. It's a carrot, but it's the worst-tasting carrot I've ever sampled in my whole lifestyle. I don't want this carrot. It's completely very subjective. Ugly pitting individuals against each other ... It's the dumbest factor in the whole globe."

Anthony Hopkins, who took house an Oscar for his performance as Hannibal Lecter in "The Quiet Of The Lamb," talked to the Huffington Publish about the film sector's campaigning for awards and nominations, and announced, "You know, I've been around -- I've got the Oscar myself -- and having to be awesome to individuals and to be wonderful and teasing with them ... oh, come on! People go out of their way to slimmer the nominating system and I think it's type of dreadful. That's always been against my characteristics."

And the late Henry C. Scott sensed so highly that it was incorrect for stars to be requested to contend against each other (calling it a "meat
parade") that when he won the Oscar for "Patton" in 1971, he rejected to agree to it.

Thankfully for the Academia, Daniel Day-Lewis looks likely to win the Best Actor award for his performance in "Lincoln," and having already won two Academia awards (for "My Remaining Foot" and "There Will Be Blood"), they should be able to depend on a respectful and honest approval conversation.

The Academia awards will be transmitted Weekend at 7 pm on ABC.
