‘A Star Is Born’s Sam Elliott On His First Oscar Nomination In 50-Year Career: It’s About Time

“I think the thing off the top of my head might be, ‘It’s about f***ing time,'” says Sam Elliott, in the wake of his first ever Oscar nomination. “Beyond that, it’s really about the work; it’s just about the creative process. It’s great to be recognized for that, that’s really all it’s about.”

[C19fan]

Elliott finally receiving an Oscar is the only thing I care about from this Hollywerd self-pleasuring session. He should have been recognized a long time ago. He is brilliant anytime he puts on a uniform whether as General Buford from "Gettysburg" or Sergeant Major Plumley from "We Were Soldiers".

[Bullish]

Worrying about who gets Oscar nominations is about the last thing on my mind.

[Responsibility2nd]

A 50 year career? Never heard of him.

And playing in another remake of a Hollywood remake?

Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

[Gamecock]

My dad was a retired Infantry CSM. I like to think when he was in uniform he was a lot like CSM Plumley.

[Steely Tom]

He played a significant part in The Big Lebowski.

“In more recent years, such noted actors as Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, Tom Selleck (another past member of the NRA), Sam Elliot and Kevin Sorbo have continued the rightward tendencies present among actors who act in Westerns.”

I am no homo, but damn...his voice is something I would love to try out for one night in a bar full of ladies..

[NohSpinZone]

I loved that character! His exchange with The Dude was just great.

[Responsibility2nd]

Well NOW you’re talking.

The Dude Abides.

[oh8eleven]

Oscar? He’s played the same character in every movie he’s ever been in.

[Sir_Ed]

He was great in the TV series Justified!

[Bratch]

[Carpe Cerevisi]

[DuncanWaring]

Then he must be getting good at it!

[Carriage Hill]

That mustache gets a bath after every meal. So does my handlebar. Wonder if he’s got any wildlife living in it?

[Steely Tom]

I love the Googie-mode decor in the bowling alley; it formed the motif for the whole movie.

[Sans-Culotte]

I’ve always like watching Sam Elliot in movies. It’s gotten to where the filmmakers can probably read a scripts and say “Oh, that’s a Sam Elliot part”. However, I don’t think his performances are necessarily Oscar-caliber.

[Gamecock]

Do yourself a favor and see “We were Soldiers Once.”

He is amazing in that movie.

"A 50 year career? Never heard of him."

You may not remember hearing of him but I guarantee you've heard him. He does an incredible amount of commercial voice over work. He's got that southern drawl that just pulls you in. He's primarily a character actor so I bet you seen him act before you just aren't putting his name with his face
