I've not won different awards - many, many times - so luckily i've practiced that whenever you are nominated for anything, you enter into this marvelous, fantabulous bubble called the bubble of nomination. the minute the envelope is opened and your name isn't called out, the bubble bursts. and no one calls you up the next day to say, 'so sorry you didn't win,' or 'you looked gorgeous - nothing. if you win, you get about another 24 hours in that lovely bubble and then - pop - you are slightly wet all over from the bubble and realize that you have to get on with real life.

More From Helen Mirren

You say: 'oh, please forgive' you say: 'oh, live and let live.' but sorry doesn't help us. sorry will not save us. sorry is just a word you find so easy to say (so you say it anyway). sorry doesn't help us. sorry won't protect us. sorry won't undo all the good gone wrong.
Sorry Forgiving Gone
I say have the night and give people the awards, but why do people want to watch people win awards? what are they getting out of it? i don't quite get it. because they have awards all the time; there's awards for butchers, the best meat served, but they don't televise it. i don't know why they do it for films or tv programs.
Night Winning Awards
Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

White boys always get the oscar. it's a known fact. did i ever get a nomination? no! you know why? cause i hadn't played any of them slave roles, and get my ass whipped. that's how you get the nomination. a black dude who plays a slave that gets his ass whipped gets the nomination, a white guy who plays an idiot gets the oscar. that's what i need, i need to play a retarded slave, then i'll get the oscar.
Boys Play White
But might not his [the president's] nomination be overruled? i grant it might, yet this could only be to make place for another nomination by himself. the person ultimately appointed must be object of his preference, though perhaps not in the first degree. it is also not very probable that his nomination would often be overruled.
