52 h. ago And the Academy award for most bashful Oscar contender goes to | Tim Lewis

Whatever the buzz about their recent film performances, few actors will show they think their statuette is as good as wonThe awards season for films ended last Sunday with the Oscars. Though I make absolutely zero claim on having any Mystic Meg capabilities, this time around it turned out that I had interviewed both Adrien Brody and Mikey Madison, respective winners of this year’s best actor and actress, for the Observer.Asked whether they believed they were in with a chance they answered the only way an actor can in their situation: by not really answering the question at all.
