of course it’s bull, I realized it a long time ago, when nicole kidman won.

I love this Vegan, he’s so real, so different from all the fake Hollwyood

Maybe he hates the polical nature of the Oscars.
But like many said already, I’d watch anything he is in because he changes the whole dimension of the movie i.m.h.o.

I think it’s not really his choice. He is obliged by the contract with the production company and he has to do all the interviews, photoshoots, award shows and stuff. He might openly hate it but he has to go or he will pay and will be discredited in the industry. Christian Bale is the other actor who openly hates all the movie promotion stuff and he is very straightforward in his interviews – he always makes it clear he won’t talk about anything he doesn’t feel like talking because he is forced to do the interviews and cannot decline but nobody can make him enjoy it.

Yea. Anyone who disses Harvey the pig is my kinda guy.

How many sorry-azzed actresses will be forced into wearing Marchese to show their fealty to the pig-ster? Wonder if the ones who wear Georgina’s uniformly unflattering messes do it so they DONT have to fornicate with the pig-ster. Boy, talk about Sophie’s choice…

Oh please… why would you compare him to her??? JP is an ACTOR. He has given some incredible performances. She’s a wannabe. How has her life or her acting compared in any way to his? She pretends to be some tortured artist — he’s the real deal.

Is it possible to look at a real actor and his individual qualities and NOT mention that lip-biting middle finger thrusting twit?

Precisely. He has much more humility than what one expects in a movie star. Its not that he’s above the “wanting” — but he knows the HUGE cost of groveling for fame. It’s one thing to grovel (as he descibes in the interview, trying to audition and thinking he wouldn’t get it) for a part but another thing to debase oneself for fame. He understands that the “work” is the prize.

Have always admired his talent. Now I actually like the man.

I agree. Joaquin Phoenix and Kristen Stewart curse just as much. And while Joaquin is explaining why he doesn’t get jazzed by the Oscars, it could come off as sounding ungrateful and that he is complaining about some awesome opportunities he has had in his life.

If Kristen Stewart did this, she would be crucified.

But yes, Joaquin Phoenix can legitimately act (we all thought he had gone off the Deep End before it was revealed I’m Still Here was a weird mockumentary).

He is polarizing, to say the least.

I will never forget Cate Blanchetts face when Goopy goop won and the way she turned to the person next to her and I am sure I could read her mouth saying “I told you that bitch would win. Nepotism”. Ah, she looked gorgeous with her full red lips too.
