Joanne Woodward Quote
-
[On her Rachel, Rachel (1968) director and husband Paul Newman being snubbed in the Best Director category by the Academy Awards in 1969] "How do you figure it? He even won the New York Film Critics award that year for it, but didn`t get in as one of the five Oscar nominees. I was really hurt about that. And I have to admit that I still don`t think the awards mean what they say they mean. The Oscar has become a political gesture, or a business gesture. People tell you it adds $5 million to a film`s gross, and I believe it, but that`s not what the Oscar is for. It didn`t use to be that way."
