Stop Me If You've Heard This Before....
A few months ago, Joaquin Phoenix spit at Oscar and told Interview that taking part in the Oscar game is like chasing a carrot that's been marinated in shit (read: a carrot that tastes like his taint). Joaquin Phoenix later took back his comments when he realized that he was an Oscar contender this year and really just wants to wrap his hands around that majestic gold-plated dildo statute like everybody else. Joaquin is done with trashing the Oscars for now, but Ethan Hawke is picking up where he left off. Ethan Hawke told Gotham Magazine (via P6) that the Oscars ain't shit and he thinks the Oscars are destroying the movie industry the same way peroxide destroyed his hotness. Ethan pretty much co-signed everything Joaquin said including the part about carrots.
“People want to turn everything in this country into a competition . . . [so] it’s clear who the winner is and who the loser is. It’s why they like to announce the grosses of movies, because it’s a way of saying, ‘This one is No. 1.’ It’s so asinine . . . if you look at how many forgettable, stupid movies have won Oscars and how many mediocre performers have Oscars above their fireplace. Making a priority of chasing these fake carrots and money and dubious accolades, I think it’s really destructive.”
You can say that Ethan Hawke is snarling at Oscar, because he hasn't been nominated for once since 2004. You can also says that Ethan Hawke is just grumpy in general, because he looks like a depression era Guy Fieri. But you can't say that he's not telling the truth for the most part. If the Oscars weren't a popularity contest run by studio executives and truly honored the greatest works in cinema, Showgirls would have won at least 11 Oscars and every dog who played Benji would have an Oscar. And none of us would have the memory of GOOPY Paltrow's ugly pink princess dress embedded into our brains, because she would've never even been nominated!
But whatever, if Ethan ever wins an Oscar, I'm sure he'll be up there saying, "This is such an honor! I love you, Oscar! Now, let's eat some carrots!"
And seriously, why does Hollywood hate carrots so much?!

Count me in, first thing I thought. The douche Mark never looked that bad though, and I hope Hawke can look better cleaned up from the nasty unflattering peroxide. His grimace would explain the wrinkles being prominent.

That is cool, I loved the old skool stars who never shown up and were so cool and above it. Nowadays they're all so desperate.
This guy is a massive douche. Knowing that from personal experience, it makes it difficult to take anything he says seriously.
I change my mind. Would not. Forget Ethan, I want to see more of that hot mess Joaquin! I want him to show up all drank ass to the Oscars, to win and give the speech of his career, lol.

I agree with Mr. Hawke. Oscars are a popularity contest. Whoever pimps the movie out the hardest and kisses the most ass wins. Anne Hathaway is a prime example. Showing her vagina and going to every single possible event and award show. I hope she does not get it. That would be a hoot!
Ethan Hawke has a point. Some actors, actresses, and films get awarded even though they are really crappy.

He is 110% correct. Hollywood just doesn't get that the general public is sick and tired of being told what to see/like/listen to. The *very* few times they figure out that we don't give two shits about their pet projects, they resort to "getting hip with the young folks" by catering to viewers under 50,000. The end result are memorable trainwrecks like Oscar hosts Rob Lowe, James Franco and "Ann with an E". God knows if Seth McFarlane tries to cut loose with "edgy" humor, that'll probably be the last time he'll be invited back.
The only thing Ethan Hawke should worry about: he's losing the battle against time. He's 42? He looks like a roadmap!
Just saw in the NYT that EH is in a new play where he plays "the punk antichrist" so, that excuses some of it......but ht's still a dick

I found the academy "crash" asthe winner to be so fucking condescending and self congratulatory. "Hey, we're not racist, and y'all shouldn't be either!" Really? I'll believe they're not racist when an actor of color can get nominated without playing a stereotype or historical figure or a film with actors of color can get nominated without it being a historical or preachy film. Of course I loved "the help," and I'm sure "Lincoln" is good,.but fuck, can they stop acting like they deserve praise for being some sort of enlightened saviors? Take a beautiful film like "Love Jones," for example, or even some of Tyler Perry's better work, which appeal to my friends of all ethnicities. Will movies with all minority casts of regular people ever get credit? This is why I wish more of "us" were in film schools. There needs to be some balance. ...ok, cliche rant over (and I'm typing on phone)

I agree 100% about "Crash." Where Brokeback Mountain--which should have run away with the Best Picture Oscar that year--treated a radioactive subject with nuance and thoughtfulness, "Crash" threw it in your face through over the top racist dialogue and coincidences that would never happen IRL.
However, I don't think it's fair to say Lincoln's getting recognized just because of the white savior trope. It deserves all the praise it's getting, because everyone of the actors is really damn good. Avatar, however....yeahhh.

Ethan Hawke ha always been over rated as an actor. Never understood why anyone would find this whimpy, whiney tiny person hot.
Joaquin should have won the Oscar for Walk the Line and Reese Chin Witherspoon shouldn't have.
I see from the comments that I was not the only person that thought this was Mark McGrath.

I'm still angry over Crash. Shitty movie. Shouldn't even have been nominated.

So much of this!!!! I rented it before it got all the nominations came out and my friends and I thought it was literally laugh out loud terrible. When Sandra Bullock hugs her maid and says, "you are my best friend" I was hysterical. The plot was beyond contrived and really Ryan Phillipe and Micheal Pena gave the only halfway decent performances in it.

To me it was sort of a sixty-forty percentage between Denzel and Ethan in that movie. Ethan had a big role but he wasn't the lead in that movie. Denzel deserved that oscar because he was overdue, Hollywood politics kept him from being recognized and they finally gave him one out of guilt. He lost earlier (in better performances) because of Spike Lee and because Hollywood overlooked Al Pacino for so long.
---------------------------------------------------
Ethan did play the lead in that movie though, there is really no other way to look at it. Denzel is a bigger star and had a flashier part but the fact remains that the movie is told from the perspective of Ethan's character, Ethan had the most screen time and the most lines. I think both roles were big enough to qualify as leading roles, but putting Ethan in the supporting category was ridiculous, just like claiming that Christoph Waltz is a supporting role in Django Unchained he is pretty clearly in a leading role.
A "depression era Guy Fieri". God damn!
Not sure if someone has already said this , but Training Day seems like another century judging by looks..and I thought he looked hot in Training Days..yikes
Depression era guy fieri...didn't have to read beyond that. A++

He honestly believes he's some SERIOUS ACTOR person... Saw him in Tom Stoppard's Coast of Utopia mess in NYC and he basically shrieked, with a red-face, as his voice audibly disintegrated, for 4+ hours straight! That was his whole performance. It was so painful. He had the emotional range of a fire alarm.
But now that every time I see his picture my brain automatically identifies him as Mark McGrath, I am amused.
He's right but I hope that hair is for a film.
He's SO right. Best example I can think of is that movie The Blind Side. Not a bad TV movie at it's best. I thought it was all a joke being included in award season. And why does Clooney keep getting nominated? He's a talented director, but he CANNOT act. He looks like he always needs to giggle through his lines.
Now, there are folks that have deserved their awards, but just as many who have not for sure.
He looks as if he sharted and is enjoying the moister.

Denzel was the protagonist, a primary actor in any movie, there would have been no story without him. He deserved that Oscar.
-------------------------------------------------
You might want to re-watch the movie, Denzel is most certainly not the protagonist of that film. The movie opens and closes with Ethan Hawke and his wife and baby, Denzel's character leaves for long stretches at a time but the film always follows what Ethan Hawke's character does, it is all from his perspective. I know Denzel is the bigger star and the better actor, but he had a smaller part in that movie. I would buy the argument that both roles were big enough to be nominated for lead actor, but in no way did Ethan Hawke play a supporting role in that movie.

Goopy winning an Oscar for Shakespear In Love was a fucking JOKE. Who did Blythe Danner have to suck off for THAT?
------------------------------------------------
YOU SHUT THAT GARBAGE PAIL MOUTH YOU GOT!!! BLYTHE DANNER NEVER EVER SUCKED ANYBODY'S DICK!!!
(Except in an intricate fantasy where she just wants me to hold her then admits she'd do it for me if I wanted and took to it naturally and swallowed then fell asleep in my lap.) Anyway...
Goopy won because she was the "It" girl of the moment and she showed her tits. I always say to critics of Halle Berry, look and see how many women got nominated/won Oscars playing hoes/taking their clothes off. Not a coincidence.

he's just pissed because he's never getting an oscar or another nomination. he sucks.
Ethan will always have my love, bad hair and all. Brilliant writer and and actor, imo. And to me he's one of the hottest ones for that alone.
What in the MethFace hell is going on with him?
For why did he McGrath his face? Meh, I care less about the Oscars than I do watching paint dry, so whatevs.
He has something to say being a mediocre performer in several stupid movies.
The interesting thing about his assessment is that actors vote on the nominations and the winners. I wonder if he is a member of the academy or if he gave up his membership?!
