My first movie, I got nominated for a Canadian Oscar-for Meatballs. For MEATBALLS. And who am I up against? George C. Scott. So he wins the award and I stand up and go, 'That's it-let's get the hell outta here.'
Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
'Groundhog Day' was one of the greatest scripts ever written. It didn't even get nominated for an Academy Award.
