It [Obama's Nobel peace prize] would be like giving someone an Oscar in the hope that it would encourage them to make a decent motion picture.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
I'm not ashamed of being a bubbly, funny person. I think that's as valid as being the dark, brooding, tortured Oscar-nominated one.
Cameron Diaz
Image
Repression is good for cultural achievement. Let's face it. What are gay boys going to be like? I always like to say the 19th-century gay boy was Oscar Wilde, the 20th-century gay boy was Stonewall and ACT UP. And in the 21st century, we have blocking people on Grindr. That's what we've accomplished. Without some kind of traction.
Daniel Mendelsohn

It has always been Oscar Peterson. He is my Rachmaninoff.
Shirley Horn
Image
The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.
Jeff Bridges
Image
I look a little like Beaker. I think I'm a cross between Beaker and The Count. My hair looks like Oscar the Grouch. It's Muppety hair.
Matthew Gray Gubler
Image
You can't possibly hear the last movement of Beethoven's Seventh and go slow. (Oscar trying to talk his way out of a speeding ticket)
Oscar Levant

It was quite a ride and very conflicting for me, too - to be nominated for an Oscar, to be straight and healthy, and to be getting all these accolades while these people around me were suffering and dying from AIDS.
Bruce Davison

If there is such a thing as a lock on an Oscar nomination, ... Hoffman has one.
Roger Ebert
Image
A refusal of nature as a model is a tradition that goes right back to Oscar Wilde.
Todd Haynes
Image
Nothing would disgust me more, morally, than receiving an Oscar.
Luis Bunuel
Image
I will never do nudity. I don't care how dark and intellectual the role could be, you know...I don't care if I frickin' could get an Oscar for it, I'm not going to do it. Those accolades mean nothing to me. I don't think people deserve to see what's under my clothing. That's only for my next husband-ha-ha-ha.
Jessica Simpson
Image
When I joined the trio, it was as if I was capable of driving a sports car at 60, but Ray Brown and Oscar Peterson just kept pressing the pedal down, and I was trying to control the car at 80!
Barney Kessel
Image
In the past, 'Avatar' would have won because Oscar voters loved to hand out awards to big productions, like 'Ben-Hur.' Today it's fashionable to give the Oscar to a small movie that nobody saw.
Sigourney Weaver
Image
I don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
Actually, I do like pink clothes, but it's not because I'm girly, it's because I'm the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde.
Mara Wilson
Image
[Boycott Oscar] is like crying about not having enough icing on your cake. It's just ridiculous.
Ice Cube
Image
When I'm lying drunk at an airport the press call me Irish... but when I win an Oscar, I'm classified as British.
Brenda Fricker
Image
I'm not going to turn down an Oscar, but I'm not strategizing for one.
Brett Ratner
Image
My goal as an actor has always been to reach a level where I can find a lot of interesting work, and I think I'm at that point now. The Oscar has given me a lot of recognition.
Benicio Del Toro
Image
I try not to think about that [getting Oscar] ahead of time. You just try to do the best work you can, and then you get the movie out there, and we've been hearing good things. But you never know, you don't want to get too high, and you don't want to get too low.
Denzel Washington
Image
If there was criticism about [Oscar Wilde], it was because it was written by a straight man who wasn't very educated about the gay world.
Kevin Sessums
Image
I've always wanted to appear in a 3-D Movie, that's always been a goal of mine. If you appear in a 3-D picture you are a shoo-in for an Oscar. There's no competition.
Nikki Cox

Embrace Of The Serpent has been a big deal for Colombians outside the Amazon. It's been showing continuously there for more than three months. And the Oscar nomination, the film's producer says Colombians are comparing it to having the national team in the World Cup.
