Hm. It sounds like he’s a little bit upset at the lack of a distribution and campaign. Oh, well. There isn’t a single nominee in his category that doesn’t deserve to be there. Plus let’s discuss all of the other men who were left out: Tom Hanks, Michael B. Jordan, Joaquin Phoenix and Idris Elba to name just a few… You obviously can’t nominate EVERYONE, there are people left out every year.
MICHAEL B JORDAN HELL FREAKING YEAH
I was hoping Michael B Jordan would sneak in there, but I think he’s going to have a good career ahead of him, so maybe someday. But I agree, there’s never enough room for all the deserving performances, but at least there’s no WTF nominees taking a more deserving actor’s spot.
Add Oscar Isaac to that list.
Of course he doesn’t, he’s ROBERT REDFORD, ffs!!
Still a looker, btw.
Of course.. Robert Redford falls into the “too good looking to win an Oscar for acting category”. Cary Grant, Richard Burton, Brad Pitt.. He will an Oscar for his acting when he has two legs in the grave.
He’s already got two, anyway.
Let’s not put Brad Pitt in the same category as Robert Redford, please,
No, no, no!! You do not put Redford and Pitt in the same category. Never!!!!
Except a young Robert Redford looks every bit like a younger Brad Pitt! Who knows if brad was copying Robert’s style, but they have some very similar facial features and structures. I would believe it if someone told me they were father and son!

Except for the Chicklet teeth! However that is spelled. LOL He’s past his prime. I never thought he was all THAT anyhow.
He’s past his prime??? Let’s just bury him now. God forbid he would work until his late years and continued making good movies.
I just googled pictures from his younger days and… Lord! I am absolutely sure panties dropped when he walked by. He was HOT (still is a very good looking older man, to be honest).
I saw “All is Lost” in the theatre and loved it, but had a feeling there was only room for one elder statesman nominee and Bruce Dern was visibly working the circuit (nothing wrong with that, they all do).
Still enrages me that Jonah Hill now has two acting nominations and Redford only has one. Absurd, really.
Never underestimate the power of playing second to Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio in high profile movies. It is insane but …good for him, I guess? His career used to be playing second to Seth Rogen in stupid Apatow movies and now he’s a two-time nominee. Same thing as Matthew McConaghey and Bradley Cooper. Compare what their careers were 3 years ago to where they are now.
Seriously. How does Robert Redford, who has made some of the most incredible films, have 1 nomination and the fart/d*ck/weed joke maker have 2?? That’s just weird.
Awards don’t matter. RR is a living legend.
Um…very misleading headline. Redford NEVER said he doesn’t care or doesn’t give a crap about getting an Oscar nom. He recognizes it’s a business and that the film suffered from little to no distribution from Roadside Attractions. He actually said an Oscar nom would’ve been nice but he’s not upset or disturbed by not receiving one. Pure grace. Love him. I saw All is Lost and it’s an incredible cinematic experience.
He knows what he has done, and has nothing to prove.
Doesn’t Redford already have an Oscar? I would like to think that he doesn’t care at this point in time.
Yes, he won Best Director for “Ordinary People.”
But for acting, he’s only ever been nominated once, for “The Sting.” Somewhat shocking.
I think Redford’s in a category by himself. He’s unique, he’s fabulous, he’s artistic and creative and his love of good film has been his life’s achievement. He’s a wonderful man and he doesn’t need this award to add to his already full and noteworthy career and life. I’m sure every actor supports Redford’s achievements and respects him wholeheartedly for his contributions to the industry throughout his lifetime.
Plus he’s responsible for some fab stuff out of Sundance.
And he stands up for environmental issues and for our wildlife. He’s a great guy.
Usweekly says Depp and Amber are engaged
I have adored him since I was a child…and admire him a great deal! And he lives by his words, something lost on some “stars” these days full of phoniness. May have to watch The Way We Were this weekend – swoon 🙂 And uh yeah, Acadamy Awards and even journalism is all PR BS these days. That is what is more disturbing than any awards show. Again, call email Vanity Fair, the Gwyneth give in, and the fact the Gwyneth Paltrow of all people manipulates the media to such an extent is absurd and a very bad sign on the times, really!
He was too wonderful in “All is lost” to be nominated. He deserves his own category.
Truly an under-appreciated film. I was tense and *screaming* during the last two minutes, and I I never, ever say anything out loud during a movie (thankfully, I was the only person in the theatre).
I don’t know how to ask this without a spoiler, hmmm… Did you think the ending was deliberately left ambiguous, or did you feel the outcome was certain? I love him and loved the movie, too, btw.
I completely interpreted the ending as being literal, and it wasn’t until later I learned that there’s a HUGE divide between those who viewed it as literal and those who thought it was strictly metaphorical. I think it was very intentional, but it’s just remarkable because it seems like each side can’t fathom that someone didn’t “see” the same thing.
@TheCountess: I agree with you. That movie was truly art, a poetry in motion.
@GoodNamesAllTaken: I also interpreted the ending as being literal. But I can see why someone would interpreted as being metaphorical.
Thank you both. I also interpreted it as literal. Great movie.
Wonder why you didn’t cover those Fassbender’s holding hands pics with his new bit? Is Fassy not liked anymore, replaced by Cumby?
Pretty sure they covered that yesterday

Oops, did not see it!
Sally and Colin would be such a great couple. I hope it’s true.
They should give all the Oscars to Robert.
I love RR forever, even though I met him eons ago & he’s overly aloof & always has his “minders” to keep people away even at exclusive resorts, but I do wish he’d stop with the hair dye.
I stood behind him in a grocery store in Northern California a couple of months ago and he was very friendly and nice. Joked with the cashier, stood with a couple of people while they took cellphone pics. Just generally seemed quite nice, and from the price of the bottle of wine he was buying, he’s not cheap.
I’m leaning towards Sarah of Pajiba about Girls. It is good and clever and the dialogue is like something Iannucci would write. But the mirror it holds up is a closer mirror to viewers than Veep, so it makes some people uncomfortable and defensive. I don’t find Lena Dunham in the least bit simpatico, in fact, I find her very annoying, but this doesn’t make her show rubbish. Having said that, I think it is too repetitive to make for continued enjoyment. I watched three episodes of the first series and then became bored.
has Redford ever been involved in in bad film project?
I say this as a HUGE RR fan, but Havana was just not good. As for yet another Oscar for acting snub- afraid the Academy one day will recognize they pulled another O’Toole- another actor who never- but sure should have- been voted a BA Oscar.
I both love and hate the Oscars. Love to see all my favorite stars all decked up on the red carpet, and although every year the entire awards ceremony seems too long, there are some great jokes and speeches made every year. Hate the constant pandering to small movies that may have been watched by 1 in 100,000 people and giving the shaft to big studio movies even in the art direction/makeup/visual effects/sound categories. Just look at the winners of the past 20 years – which of any of these movies are worth watching more than once? Shakespeare In Love? Mystic River? Crash? Chicago? American Beauty? The Hurt Locker? 10 years from now, no one will remember any of these movies, no one will be buying them to add to their movie collection. Meanwhile, new generations will still discover gems like Goodfellas, Saving Private Ryan, Dark City, The Dark Knight, Watchmen, The Prestige and many others.
Robert Redford is one of the finest actors Hollywood has and with an amazing body of work to boast of. But just like Charles Chaplin, he’ll be given a lifetime achievement award and that’s it. Some actors, like Daniel Day Lewis are recognized time and again for their work but a lot of other deserving actors never get their due. Awards are kind of meaningless since appreciation of cinema is a subjective thing and at the same time, you do feel that the people whose work you admire and have enjoyed should be rewarded and recognized. The Oscars are the biggest movie awards but I feel that they nominate the same circle of people every year, rarely giving a chance to new, fresh talent. It makes me think that the Oscars are out of touch with the pulse of the public.
