I`m sorry but is it possible that nobody sees that he dissed Waltz and Leo with that comment? He put them into the same category of ratings whoring like The Tourist. As if they didn`t deserve to be nominated. I mean, HFPA are star fuckers and they do nominate based on popularity but that`s mostly reserved for Comedy categories and Waltz is not a bigger name than SLJ. Plus, he and Leo deserve their noms. So, IMO, SLJ is a real ass here. He could have said that his co-stars were deserving, since they were, after unleashing an attack on HFPA.
Also, his comments about Martin Landau and Ed Wood were not cool. It`s OK to be honest and say, yes I should have won instead, but saying that nobody remembers Ed Wood is proposterous.
