Burt Reynolds reaction to losing at Oscars
John Stone
Did anyone catch Burt Reynolds reaction to losing the Oscar to
Robin Williams? While Robin was giving his acceptance speech the
camera focused briefly on Reynolds who had his chin and mouth
covered by his hand and there was something about the intensity of
his watching Williams up there that suggested to me he was rather
ticked off at losing. John S.

Since, despite the nature of the awards being to honor specific
performances, Academy voters sometimes vote for a nominee in
order to honor a past body of work (i.e.: late-in-life nods for
Fred Astaire, John Wayne, etc.), isn't it possible that they
also are affected negatively by an actor's earlier career?
Thus Reynolds, who was once thought of as a promising dramatic
actor from his earlier work in "Deliverance" and other films,
may have been penalized for squandering his talents in a series
of highly popular, but relatively mindless, action-comedies,
culminating in the oft-reported story that he turned down Jack
Nicholson's Oscar-winning role in "Terms of Endearment" to make
"Stroker Ace", a movie which even his most devoted fans have
trouble enduring.
Then again, Robin Williams is a damn good actor who deserved
the recognition he received for "Good Will Hunting", so maybe
Burt was just outclassed this year (I haven't seen "Boogie
Nights", so I can't judge -- if in fact anyone can make the
"apples and oranges" comparison these types of awards would
seem to require).

I have heard several theories as to why he lost:
"Boogie Nights" is the type of movie that many older academy voters
didn't like because of its subject matter.
Reynolds made some unwise negative comments about the movie after it was
released, who wants to honor someone who doesn't like the work that they
did? And then he goes around saying how much he wants the Oscar.
I think it adds up to a turnoff for many voters.
Robin Williams was simply better in "Good Will Hunting"

You'd be ticked off too if you were watching your career take one last gasp
of breath only to cough and sputter when the orchestra doesn't play your
theme song. Burt didn't deserve to win. The movie was ok and he was ok in
the role... but the acting was top notch. Williams deserved it and
Burt's sour grapes only confirm how much I don't like him as a person much
either.

Reynolds IS extremely competitive and given to bouts of jealousy and envy (past
reactions to Tom Selleck for example) and has very mixed feelings about
Hollywood. Probably, he feels that they "did it to him" again.
Like many women in the early 70's I loved Reynolds' centerfold, a reaction
that mystified most men. So, I left my editor's desk to catch Reynolds at the
Wax Museum where his likeness was being added to the collection. I made the
huge mistake of feeling sorry for Reynolds who was being treated like meat by
photographers.
He suddenly caught my expression and threw bolt of sullen rage at me that said
very clearly: "Who the fuck are you to feel sorry for me? I'm a star. I came
here in a limousine?" "What are you? A lousy reporter?" Less than
that,actually: I was the one woman in the world Reynolds didn't like.
For years afterward, I would catch little "leaks" of rage from Reynolds during
interviews, but it wasn't until his divorce from Loni Anderson that we got the
full monty of Reynolds as a person.
By contrast, I recently saw an interview with Robert Forster in which I found
him so charming that I hope he will be cast in many films from now on, and I
commend Quentin Tarantino -- who has a genius for resuscitating the careers of
worthy actors.

Reynolds has always come off as an arrogant SOB, Williams does not.
Reynolds reminds me of a lot of the guys in that pre-baby boom age
group.

Robin Williams came off as truly grateful, humble and surprised. He
showed the class that he has.
Burt Reynolds is a jerk. He might be the big movie star of the 70s, but
Williams has been around a while and has demonstrated an incredbile
range of talent, far, far and away from Burt.

>Williams has been around a while and has demonstrated an incredbile

Agreed. How many other actors can do great comedy like Mork and the Genie
in Alladin, wonderful standup routines, and also great dramatic
performances in "Awakenings", "Dead Poet's Society", and "Good Will
Hunting"? Not to mention "Good Morning, Vietnam" and "The World According
to Garp", which required both comedy and drama in the same movie.
Tom Hanks also went from being a sitcom star to a dramatic Oscar winner,
but his comedy work was never as good as Williams's. Robin Williams
probably has the best range of any current actor. Of the old guard who
are still around, Jack Lemmon probably has the best range, and among
deceased I'd probably give the nod to Cary Grant.

It also may not have helped that he fired his agents right after he saw
Boogie Nights because he thought the film sucked. That, combined with the
feeling by many that Robin was due, may have given it to Williams.
Personally, I thought both men deserved it.

He shouldn't have lost to Williams who is neither a good actor nor a
good comedian.

Isn't this like the Lauren Bacall situation last year? Everyone
expected her to win more for her body of work than for that single
performance, and those are the very comments I heard about Burt's
chances. Unfortunately, if memory serves, her reaction to losing were
also similar to Burt's.
Robin clearly deserved it, though. Any lesser performance in that role
and the movie would have lost alot of emotional steam. Please, RW, NO
MORE "FATHERS DAY"s !!!!!!

For the latter, consider also Clark Gable. Mostly dramatic roles, it is
true, but he won an Oscar for a screwball comedy! ("It Happened One

And of course many of the Academy's older, conservative voters never saw
and wouldn't have liked "Boogie Nights" anyway. William's swore a lot in
his role, but his was at least a sympathetic part in a mainstream film.
Try explaining the role of "father figure to a stable of washed-up
pornographic movie stars" to Gregory Peck and see who he votes for.

In fact, I was thinking about him as well when I decided to name Cary
Grant. But other than this one, I can't think of any other impressive
Gable comedies (I glanced at the IMDB entry for him, and didn't see too
many other memorable ones); I think everyone considers him a dramatic
actor. This could even have been a factor in his winning the award -- I
think they like to reward actors who stretch outside their normal mode.
Cary Grant, Robin Williams, and Jack Lemmon have made a number of good
films in both the comedy and drama genres.

Maybe Reynolds was thinking about his losing investment in Pore Boys
Restaurants. They opened the restaurant in Palm Beach County and of course
wealthy people and wannabees avoided a restaurant with that name like the
plague.

He, like Woody Allen did in Deconstructing Harry, did their life stories
:) Both were nominated for that, but justifiably not given an Oscar.
As for his comeback, it implies he's done Oscar worthy stuff before, or at
least a number of decent films. I really don't consider The Best Little
Whorehouse in Texas, Oscar worthy or decent. It may be his return to
stardom, but please.
I personally, have no trouble with nominated good personal interest
stories, but so long as they don't win just for that (which is usually
the only reason they're nominated), I'm fine.
Who would I have given the statue to? Robin, no doubt about it. It was his
best and truly acted performance. For once, as wonderful as he was in Dead
Poets Society, he didn't lose character and he didn't do Robin-shtick at
sometime in the film. That had a lot to do with the fact that screenplay
wasn't written for Robin Williams, but for an *actor*. Robin rose to that
challenge and let the script carry him instead of vice-versa.
Runner-up is a tie between Greg and Robert. Why? Because both were superb,
but Robert was a bit too quiet, and Greg had his low moments. But they
both did great work.

Are you kidding? Oh well, I guess it's all a matter of opinion here,
but I always thought Robin Williams to be a comedic genius, truly.
Granted, I didn't see "Good Will Hunting", but I always knew it
was simply a matter of time before Williams won for *something*.

Which gives me the impression that you've never seen him. I can accept
the fact that maybe he isn't exactly your cup of tea, but surely you can

The first one, other than the one I already named, that I can think of is
Teacher's Pet, late in his career. Not a 'rip-roaring; comedic role, to
be sure, but still very amusing.

My sentiments exactly. I can't think of a more quick-witted human being on
the planet. And as for his ability to get into dramatic roles, I think
he's simply amazing. He truly becomes the characters he plays.

And how about "Dead Poets Society," or "Good Morning, Vietnam." Two really
great dramatic roles. And one of my favorite comedies ever is "Mrs.
Doubtfire." Robin's the best.

Couldn't disagree with you more. Williams' problem is that with EVERY
role he has played you always get the feeling that at any moment the
"Robin Williams shtick" is going to break through. Granted he has
gotten better at hiding it with each passing role; but, I always watch
him with trepidation that he won't have the professionalism to rein
himself in. And yet, go figure, I was glad he won the award.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. When I watched him in "Good Will
Hunting," I never got the feeling any "Robin Williams schtick" was going to
break through. I thought he was totally into the role he was playing.

Bottom line is that Robin Williams had that ususual combination of forces
working for him at the Oscars: He was way due to win and his performance
deserved an award anyway. Reynolds' work also was great in one of the best
movies of the year; I think he was hurt for the firing of his agents after
he saw Boogie Nights, combined the the possibility that the Academy was
shy about awarding a movie about the porn trade (though former Nixon
speechwriter Ben Stein noted on a L.A. post-Oscar show that Boogie Nights
was the most pro-family values film of the year). As for those who put
down his acting ability, remember that Williams is trained not as a comic
but as a dramatic actor via Juillard. He's as comfortable doing
Shakespeare as schtick.
Having said that, of course, the word is that he's itching to get back on
the comedy circuit! :)

I'm afraid I can't answer your question. I saw the movie and didn't think
it was all that great. The whole storyline seemed very predictable to me
and not too enlightening. In fact, as I was watching the movie, by the
last half hour, I was just eager for it to end. Burt did fine with his
portrayal in the film of a porn producer, but I didn't see the role of that
character as such a challenge (i.e., it certainly didn't impress me as
Academy Award material). So I'm a bit befuddled by all the attention the
film (and Burt, in particular) has received.

I believe you. But all the hype about Burt as this great father figure, and
Julianne as this great maternal figure.
The hypemeisters did it again. Play a prostitute, drunkard (LEAVING LAS
VEGAS) or drug addict and you're handling deep, important issues. Nicholson and
Streep in IRONWEED, Dunaway and Mickey Rourke in BARFLY. Playing these roles is
a cinch. Playing heroic roles that's difficult in this day and age.
The glorification of prostitution by Hollywood leads me to believe that hookers
are the only female profession most Hollywood men know. In the book YOU'LL
NEVER MAKE LOVE IN THIS TOWN AGAIN, in which 4 hookers tell their story of
celebrity encounters to one's sister. (Whoda thunk a pro would have a literate
sister?) Warren Beatty tried to have the book suppressed and lost his rep as a
terrific lover; Nicholson got one as someone who wants a pro but for free, Gary
Busey as an abuser and the late Don Simpson, producer of TOP GUN, FLASHDANCE
and BEVERLY HILLS COP as one of the most evil sadists ever. Pretty girls go to
Hollywood, have no skills and get drawn into prostitution and then meet
monsters like Simpson. And after he died I heard all these touching stories
about how much they missed him from his male friends. They knew what he'd done,
but who cares what's done to women in Hollywood.
I have no interest in ever watching BOOGIE NIGHTS. Burt Reynolds and Mark
Wahlberg are two of my least favorite performers.

I had a friend who rented out his beautiful little house for some
movie work -- movie companies talk big on the front end and really
don't care once they have what they want -- it is typical to leave
unpaid for damage -- and to just stonewall attempts to get it right
This happened in my friend's case where despite promises, damage was
done and not repaired -- and I have heard it about many other films.
This is one of the reasons that some communities are less than thrilled
about having their town used for filming.

Butting in the middle, messed up the snipping, I apologize. Both those
movies are fantastic! Father Goose is absolutely hilarious - Cary Grant is
one of the best actors ever to grace the film world (I've seen Bringing Up

Clark Gable's best, IMHO was It Happened One Night, also one I've watched

I apologize for the intrusion.
