Four days before the Academy Awards, Hollywood.com asked someone who should know if he had any advice for the current crop of Oscar nominees as they head into final steps towards the big night.
Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks didn’t hesitate to answer: "Eat healthy, get some exercise, get some good sleep--and pay no attention to the print media."
Fortunately for us, the Academy’s A-list didn’t pay any attention to Tom’s last bit of advice. Since the nominations were announced in January, Hollywood.com drycleaned the tux and hit every red carpet, star-studded soiree and celebrity celebration we could, taking every step on the road to Oscars with the 2007 elite. The result? We talked to a whopping 20 Academy Awards nominees, and as far as we’re concerned, they’re ALL winners.
Javier Bardem, Best Supporting Actor Nominee, No Country For Old Men
On his nomination validating his family’s acting legacy:
"It's a way to celebrate or to honor my roots. I come from a long family of people who have been actors. My parents and my grandparents were actors in a time where actors were not allowed to be buried on sacred land because they were considered homosexuals and prostitutes. So it's been a long way to come here and I guess it's not about me, but what I'm carrying on my back, thank God. That's their effort, their trust, their sacrifice, their knowledge of what the real meaning of what all of this is which is trying to bring to the others the story or stories and people that are worth being watched and listened to."
