C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels is “pissed off” that George Lucas never won an Oscar
From The Sun:
“Star Wars is one of the most famous film series in the world but that doesn’t matter to the snobs who run Hollywood.
The sci-fi epics have been consistently overlooked for Oscars and in particular creator/director George Lucas, according to C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels.
He reckons it is partly because the director didn’t fit into the Hollywood model. Asked if the Academy looked down on the hit movies, Anthony said: “Totally, one hundred per cent.
“The Academy can be very snobbish and almost obviously. And George is not a Hollywood person – ‘If you don’t like our gang we’re not going to have you in our gang,’ sort of thing.”
The ten Star Wars films have earned just seven Academy Awards since 1977 despite being the second highest- earning franchise after Marvel.
In an exclusive chat, Anthony, whose autobiography I Am C-3PO: The Inside Story, published by DK, is released on Thursday, said: “Really p**ses me off that I don’t think George ever won an Oscar for himself, just departments – special effects and all that kind of thing. George deserves more than that.”

I doubt Lucas himself is all that pissed about it.

I noticed Mr. Daniels said “pissed off.” I think that’s because to the Brits, “pissed” (short for “pissed up”) means “drunk,” whereas in the U.S. it means “angry.” So Brits have got to specify “pissed off.”

I’m Pissed That the Prequels and Rogue one didn’t win any of their nominations Couldn’t care less for the sequel trilogy not winning anything since those films Turned Han Luke and Leia into Failures and anyone who thought that was a good idea Doesn’t Get Star Wars at all!

I’d still recommend going to see Episode IX in December. It may well be bad, but it could also be end up being enjoyable like Rogue One was. Make your own mind up when its over.

Kennedy and Abrams have pissed all over the whole saga! There isn’t this much pissing in “golden shower” porn!

J. J. Abrams will probably win an Oscar for Episode IX. The media will demand his genius be rewarded!
