Cher was upset when Burlesque wasn’t nominated for Best Original Song. She said at the time: “We didn’t get a nomination for best song! That sucks! Diane’s song is so beautiful! It’s hard to understand how u win the Golden Globe for Best Song & not even get nominated by the Oscars?”

Kevin believes his work is overlooked: “Of course I’d like more recognition. And of course I’d rather have an Oscar than not. Year after year I’ve seen this season come and go – this club of which I am not a member. I facetiously call it the bitter season, and there have been many times when it’s been hard.”

Richard Gere

Richard wasn’t pleased when he wasn’t nominated for ‘Chicago’: “The only time it really bothered me was in Chicago. Everyone else got nominated. I’m waiting for my name (to be read out in the nominations) and it goes right by me, like, ‘Wow, what happened?’ I have to admit, that got to me.”
