Awards Trying Oscars

More From Marlee Matlin

A new kind of award has been added -- the deathbed award. it is not an award of any kind. either the recipient has not acted at all, or was not nominated, or did not win the award the last few times around. it is intended to relieve the guilty conscience of the academy members and save face in front of the public. the academy has the horrible taste to have a star, choking with emotion, present this deathbed award so that there can be no doubt in anybody's mind why the award is so hurriedly given. lucky is the actor who is too sick to watch the proceedings on television.

Every film is hard work, and a few lucky people do get oscars for what they do, and it's recognition for all that hard work on a certain level. if you didn't do the hard work, you wouldn't be standing there. on the other hand, people do a lot of hard work and don't get oscars, so it's a mixture of glory and injustice at the same time.

Television has its own award. it's called the emmy. it's a good award. i like it. i have one. but you don't see movies like 'the king's speech' win oscars and then go to tv and qualify for emmys. in documentaries, some networks have been able to game the system.

I never watched the oscars. come on, it's a fashion show . . . what straight black man sits there and watches the oscars? show me one. and they don't recognize comedy, and you don't see a lot of black people nominated, so why should i watch it?

ِan offer you can't refuse.

Most of an award-show host's job is showing up and keeping a cool head and soldiering through it, whether it's the oscars or the hallmark channel's 'hero dog awards.'

I have this extraordinary life during the day, and then i get to come home to my sweet husband who loves to cook with me. i have a nice glass of wine, he has some scotch, we chat, we cook, and we hang out with the dog. i have an absolute dream life.

All my fans tell me what a glamorous life i have, but i tell them how hard i work and how many nights i spend alone with my dogs, eating chicken pot pie in my bedroom.

I grew up around animals [seven horses, dogs and now a pet goldfish named leila] and i'm rebelling against them not having a natural existence.
