Proof....Jennifer Lawrence should have never won that Oscar when there were far superior roles and acting in that category. Plenty of snubs too. She got that award because Oscar voters jumped on the bandwagon after she won the other awards. It is stupid.

He's a pretty good actor. Gattaca, Training Day, Sinister, even that vampire film with Willem Dafoe. I'll watch a film if he's in it. I agree. He’s a pretty good actor.

More than 20 years after watching this for the first time, I still find that this scene has the cutest expressions ever. And that smile in Before Sunset is super cute too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SbjL172kew Oh Mira!

I have always found that there is a truly deep emotional presence and vulnerability in Ethan's eyes that he transmits to his characters. He's been one of my favorites since that unforgettable "O Captain! My Captain!" in Dead Poets Society. I love your story.

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 03:31:05 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=281863#comment-13198188 I wanted to jump in with a quick Ethan Hawke story. A number of years ago I went to a reading and book signing he did for one of his novels. I wasn't a particular fan, just enjoyed his film work and thought it would be interesting. The reading was done like a little performance, with a local actress reading the woman's dialogue and Ethan reading the man's. It's the first time I understood what star power really is. His charisma was like a force. Without trying to pull focus--he was a generous co-reader with the actress--he just dominated and lit up the room. It was mesmerizing. Then later, when he signed my book, we talked briefly and his eyes were this green and gold combination that was so striking. After seeing him perform and seeing him up close, it was obvious any casting director would be like, This is it! An exceptional quality. Presence. I wanted to jump in with a quick Ethan Hawke story.

Which defeats his point about winners and losers" Art is subjective. I believe one can have preferences without liking the Academy Awards. A lot of film geeks would tell you that that the winner of the Best Foreign Language Film is usually better than the winner of the Best Picture award. “That he’s a judgy bitch when “medocre actors” get awards meaning he does adhere to some kind of system in which he ranks the quality of actors.

The ceremony itself, the campaigning, some of the nominees -- the Academy Awards has been reduced to nothing more than an overhyped, narcissistic, back-patting, popularity contest.

Wish he'd put the bad Mark McGrath drag away now, but it's obvious he's totally in love with the fried platinum "frost 'n tip" spikes and thinks it obviates his many wrinkles to make him "hott." I haven't seen so many photographs of him in years (thank god). Douche. You’re asinine, Hawke, and I’ll bet Uma would say you were pretty destructive.

That he’s a judgy bitch who judges when “mediocre actors” get awards" All the excellent observation awards go to you. ha! Anyway, he was so gorgeous when he was young, he had such an edge. Sadly, not all beautiful men age well :( He isn't hideous, but I dont find myself attracted. In the nineties? Oooooh boy, you bet I was. That hair isn't helping any, either. “Because you know what’s interesting if you nit-pick what Ethan says? That he’s a judgy bitch who judges when “mediocre actors” get awards”
