We were the laughingstock of that first season… It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television. – Roma Downey
For me, honestly, it’s not about individual accomplishments, individual award. It’s about what I’ve got to do and how I can contribute to the team. – Sheryl Swoopes
I think what’s going to happen with linear television is it’s going to become more linear. It’s going to become more about events and more about award shows, live sports – all those things that, really, you can’t replicate. – Ted Sarandos
I do have two wonderful awards from the Western Writers of America, one for ‘Beardance’ and the other for ‘Far North.’ The award is called the Spur, and the plaques really do have spurs on them! – Will Hobbs
Some people might say my coming out after just winning the MVP award is heroic, and I understand that. – Sheryl Swoopes
I had been nominated for an Academy Award for my performance as Sandy Lester, Dustin Hoffman’s neurotic, struggling actress girlfriend, in ‘Tootsie.’ Under Sydney Pollack’s direction, ‘Tootsie’ had been a runaway hit starring Dustin as an unemployed actor who pretends to be a woman in order to land a role in a soap opera. – Teri Garr
When I was a kid, award shows were super-interesting for me. But when I started making music, it was kind of hard to watch because I believed in what I was doing and yet knew I didn’t really have a shot. – Wesley Schultz
I’m so thrilled to have won the RITA. The award is particularly special because it is given by other romance authors. It’s deeply rewarding and not a little humbling to be honored by such a talented tribe of writers. – Sarah MacLean
I was surprised I won the award because I’ve always been a very aggressive player and I earn my share of fouls on the court. I play rough, and because I’m an older player, of course I use tricks on the younger players. – Sue Wicks
I’m used to seeing it, but it’s weird having an Academy Award. You usually only see one of them on the TV show when they give them out, so it’s kind of surreal to have one in your house. – Steven Wright

I’m a big, bombastic novelist and thrill-ride guy. I’m never going to win the National Book Award. – Seth Grahame-Smith
So many people have won Emmys, so many people have won multiple Emmys that I think it’s a degraded award. – Tony Randall
I get cassettes near Academy Award time of every movie that’s made that thinks it has some kind of chance for a nomination – that’s when I watch my movies. – William Peter Blatty
I mean, we make a 15-minute show that’s incredibly silly, even though all of our scenic designers, puppet builders. animators, everybody that works on the show take their work very seriously. So somebody saying that we’d even be in contention for a very respectable award is really nice. – Seth Green
Do not tell somebody how to vote, just go up to them and tell them what Fahrenheit 9/11 meant to you. Fahrenheit will probably not win an Academy Award, but if you put it first on your list, it will become a nominee. – Valerie Harper
