Robert Redford at a press conference to kickoff Sundance today acknowledged his disappointment in not receiving an Oscar nomination for his role All isLost as some expected. However, he took it in stride.
“I’ve been part of the Hollywood film industry for much of my career,” he said. “I’m very happy about it. Hollywood is what it is. It’s a business.”
“There’s a lot of campaigning going on and it can be very political,” he added about the Oscars race.
Then he took a jab at Lionsgate, the studio that released “All is Lost.”
“We had no campaign to cross over into the mainstream,” he explained.
But he said he had no hard feelings. “Would it have been wonderful to be nominated?” he asked. “Of course. I’m not disturbed by it or upset by it.”
