Actor Christoph Waltz, who already won the SAG Award and a Golden Globe, Describes How The Oscar Nominee Feels…
“What I’m really over the moon about is that ‘Inglourious Basterds’ got eight nominations. Quentin (Tarantino) got everything he deserved: screenplay, cinematography, editing, director, best picture. For me, just finishing this film a year ago was the highlight. I don’t imagine space travel could be any more exciting.” Waltz acknowledged that he is considered a Oscar front-runner but said he was trying to “block out” any anticipation ahead of next month’s Academy Awards. “I never take anything for granted and I never try to anticipate,” Waltz said. “If I had expected to win in Cannes I would never have had that feeling of lightness and joy when they called my name. I’ve been trying to put (winning) out of my mind and so far, I think I’m doing pretty well.” However, Waltz said he will take the time to prepare an acceptance speech. Fans of the Austrian actor’s eloquent wordplay can be assured it will be as carefully planned as the staged thank-yous he gave accepting his Golden Globe, SAG and numerous other honors this year. “I think it is just a matter of respect to give these things some thought,” Waltz said. “A billion people watch the Oscars; one should make the effort to think about what you’re going to say.” THR
