Gary Oldman: The Golden Globes are bent

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Oldman has criticised the Golden Globe awards, describing the voting process as “bent”. The British actor – appearing at last night’s Jameson Empire Awards, where he took home the prize for ‘Best Actor’ – said that the event had “no politics” like other awards ceremonies.

“Specifically I’m talking about the Globes,” he told HeyUGuys. “Which I think is bent to be honest. There’s always a bit of that involved, people talk about the ‘sympathy win’ or someone will get something for their body of work rather than that role. The Oscars and BAFTAs, the voting is pretty straightforward. The Globes, the foreign press, is a whole different thing.”

Oldman said that there may be a form of sequel to Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy, based on John le Carré’s Smiley’s People.

“They’re talking about doing a sequel, Smiley’s People. I’m there if they can put the same people back again.”

Speaking about the upcoming Dark Knight Rises, he promised fans that it will be “epic”.

“It is what you expect from [Christopher] Nolan, it delivers big time. It’s epic, but not just spectacle. It’s got the size of big movie for what it needs to have for a conclusion.”
