History Quotes / AwardSnub

->''"The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an iconic symbol of entertainment history. Of course, like any other hall of fame, it's also a total sham...would you believe the BackstreetBoys have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? Sure you would; they sold a shit-ton of records and had a huge impact on the direction of popular radio in their day. You know who doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? That's right, NSync. That's like only giving Pepsi a star on the soda walk of fame. This imbalance alone is enough to completely destroy any facade of credibility the Hollywood Walk of Fame could ever hope to keep up."''

->''"Who can forget movies like RagingBull, [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]], and Film/CitizenKane? The [[AcademyAwards Oscars]], that's who! They all lost!"''
-->-- '''[[WesternAnimation/TheCritic Jay Sherman]]'''

->''“It was crazy. We saw our audience get bigger and bigger, and then come the SAG awards, the Emmy Awards, the Golden Globes—nothing. We were like, “Well, what the fuck is going on?” And David Simon, he was so cool. He was like “Fuck the awards, I’m not about that. [[DoingItForTheArt I’m about telling a good story]].” He was on interviews, like, “We don’t need that.” And some of us, in the back of our heads, were like, “Yo, stop sayin’ '''[[StopHelpingMe we!]]'''”''

->''"In any correctly balanced world, [[KirstenDunst (Kirsten) Dunst]] would stride away with the Oscar while throwing up her arms like a {{Maury}} guest in a “Whut? Whut? Ya’ll know I’m all that…” but [[MerylStreep Streep]] did [[Film/TheIronLady Thatcher]], so that’s probably not happening."''

->''"They caught up with Quincy Jones just as he was entering Swifty Lazar's big post-Oscar bash at Spago, the chic pizza joint up above the Sunset Strip. They asked him why he thought ''The Color Purple'' had been so completely shut out at this year's Academy Awards, why it didn't even get one single lousy Oscar for anything, not even in one of those obscure technical categories. And Jones, who composed the music for the movie and was its co-producer, said:\\\
'That's the way it is.'\\\
...Someday, Creator/StevenSpielberg will win his Oscar. This year he was rebuked and snubbed, and so Hollywood will provide the happy ending and give him an Oscar two or three years from now, and people will explain that it is 'really' for ''The Color Purple.'' That's the way the Oscar game has always been played."''
-->--'''Creator/RogerEbert''' on ''Film/TheColorPurple''

->''"Fans had been clamoring for some dude named Wrestling/DanielBryan to claim a title of some sort for years, and winning this would have put him one step closer to that goal... Instead of that happening, though, the {{WWE}} brought back a wrestler named {{Wrestling/Batista}} (which has to be the least threatening wrestler name I've heard since "Daniel Bryan"), fresh off of having bolted professional wrestling years ago to try his hand at [[UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts MMA]] and becoming the next [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson Rock]], and wrote him in as the eventual winner, knocking boringly named fan favorite Daniel Bryan out of line for a title shot. I'm sure none of this had anything to do with the fact that Batista has a featured role in the upcoming ''GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' film."''
