Antonio Banderas On His Oscar 2020 Nomination: 'I Was Surprised'!
Antonio Banderas has responded to his first ever Oscar nomination!
While attending a special screening for his film Pain and Glory ahead of the 2020 Goya Awards ceremony on Monday (January 13) in Malaga, Spain, the 59-year-old shared his reaction to being nominated for his leading role in the Pedro Almodóvar-directed film.
“I was surprised,” Antonio expressed (via Deadline). “There is this period of the Oscars becoming the big awards worldwide, not only American, but worldwide. It’s logical though that it takes time to adapt, and see what the future is of these important awards. It will be very interesting if it actually covers the whole entire world.”
In another statement about his nomination, Antonio Banderas said: “I would like to thank The Academy for my nomination for Best Actor for my work in Pain and Glory. It is an honor to share the nomination with my fellow actors, they did an amazing job. The bar is very high and I’m very thankful to be in the run for the Oscars. I would like to congratulate Pedro Almodóvar and the Pain and Glory team for the International Feature Film nomination for the amazing work they did. I would also like to thank Sony Pictures Classic for their support and effort to get here.”
