Robert Downey Jr. He made a strange request that soon went viral: not to be nominated for the 2020 Oscars for his performance in Avengers: Endgame. The actor – who was previously nominated for the golden statuette in 1993 by Chaplin, and in 2009 by A Movie War – resonates as one of the possible candidates for the secondary category, but at this stage of his life he does not want to be linked to the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In a radio interview with Howard Stern, the interpreter spoke about his performance in the successful Marvel production, and the driver told him that his work “was excellent” because it gave credibility to the Tony Stark / Iron Man character, and that he deserved to be nominated. ” I am glad that you make mention of this topic because they talked about it and what I am saying is ‘Don’t do it,’ ” Downey Jr. said before a possible candidacy.
On the other hand, the actor referred to the controversial statements of Martin Scorsese, who outlined very harsh comments about the superhero movies. “I tried, you know?” Said the filmmaker when asked if he had seen any feature films. ” But that is not the cinema .” “Honestly, the closest thing I can relate to these movies, with their actors doing their best under those circumstances, are theme parks. It is not the cinema of human beings trying to transmit emotional and psychological experiences to other human beings, ”said the director of ‘Taxi Driver’ and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ categorically.
“I appreciate your opinion because, as in everything, we need different perspectives so that we can return to the center and move on,” said Downey Jr. However, he was not deprived of saying that, although he was not offended by the filmmaker’s words He did consider that they ” do not make any sense “.
