Ewan McGregor Disappointed By Baz Luhrmann Oscar Snub
Ewan McGregor has blasted the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences for failing to nominate Baz Luhrmann for an Oscar. The Scottish star says he can't understand how Moulin Rouge could get eight nominations but not be included in the Best Director category. McGregor says, "Did the film direct itself, you wonder? Baz Luhrmann put five years of his passion into that film." But McGregor will not be involved in Luhrmann's Broadway production of the film. He says, "You never go back to a part again - I wouldn't anyway."
Hmmm, no colorful metaphors from Ewan this time around. Is he becoming more Jedi? ;) Thanks to Darth Larry for the heads up.
Update: Brian sends in the following:
"Well, just like the Ewan we all know and love, his quote WAS filled with some..."colorful metaphors." I saw a video clip of his statements, and there were some definite bleeps in there (specifically the f-word). Don't know if he gave a cleaner quote to someone else, or if the article just cleaned it up for him."
We shoulda known better. :)
