"The whole concept of awards and being honored is silly,” he said. “It’s a popularity contest.” The fact that Gordon Willis was not even nominated for his superb work on The Godfather and Manhattan was the example Woody always fumed about. So awards had no significance in our lives. I only found out on the day of the broadcast that I had been nominated for a Golden Globe for best actress (for one of the Roses, I forget which), and then only because Woody asked me which photograph they should use on television when they read my name. We didn’t watch the show: by dinnertime that night we’d forgotten all about it."
