They had this movie called Juno about a teenage girl who gets pregnant and it's nominated for an Oscar. That's an unusual experience for me, 'cause when a black girl gets pregnant it ain't no Oscar. It's social work and a box of condoms is what that is.

D. L. Hughley

I remember my first taste of American big movies was 'Ghost Rider.' I'm in two little scenes. But for those two little scenes they had 400 extras, upside-down stunt cars, and a fire brigade.

Rebel Wilson

I believe that the kids, young people should have an opportunity to have Oscar nominated actors in their movies too.

Queen Latifah

A lot of young Latino actors have said to me, 'Why can't we get an Oscar? Why can't we be nominated?' And the terrible truth is that if you don't get the right parts, you're not going to be. Are you going to get an Oscar nomination for one of those Judd Apatow movies? Not likely, no matter what nationality you are.

Rita Moreno

I cannot draw to save my life, and I'm not a big art scholar, but I worked with many designers throughout my career - in theater, in dance, costume designers, set designers, and I have a lot of artist friends and I do photography, and I think it's kind of in my life.

Mikhail Baryshnikov

Set designers, costume designers, actors, writers, music, that's what is beautiful.

Ethan Hawke

Even if I hadn't have been nominated for an Oscar, to have won the Golden Glove was just fantastic.

Brenda Blethyn

It's a really exciting thing to collaborate with production designers, cinematographers and gaffers and costume designers and editors and composers.

Jason Bateman

I'm a big fan of Clint Eastwood, but the Westerns I draw from most directly come from an earlier period in Hollywood. I actually look back at movies like 'Rio Bravo' and others I've liked over the years, and I capture pictures from the movies and use them as a reference for the scenes I create.

Steve Sheinkin

I never dreamed in a million years that 'The Lord of the Rings' would be nominated for an Oscar. Those types of fantasy movies never got nominations.

Peter Jackson

My favorite Oscar story was a year my brother had been nominated, my whole family went.

Beau Bridges

I want to single out Kathryn Hahn's performance in Jill Soloway's film 'Afternoon Delight,' which in my opinion should have been nominated for an Oscar. I think it's one of the greatest female performances I've ever seen on screen, and I think she's wildly talented.

Amy Landecker

There's a lot of money in doing score music. You can get a chance to get nominated for an Oscar; I would love to get nominated again.

Juicy J

I had been told by so many people that I was going to be nominated, that I should be nominated, that there wasn't any question about my being nominated. I don't think it was a surprise.

Gloria Stuart

I remember watching Quentin Tarantino accept an Academy Award for screenwriting for 'Pulp Fiction.' If I'd known then that 15 years later one of his movies would again be nominated for an Oscar and I'd be in it - that would be pretty crazy.
