“You do the work and then they give you all these
gifts for being nominated. I actually got a gift certificate for Botox. And an
appointment with a plastic surgeon, a whole suitcase full of face cream, a trip
to China. But Botox? It's saying, ‘You were very expressive in that movie,
shoot this in your face. See if you can act with no expression whatsoever!’"—Alan
Alda, on the “swag” that came his way for his Best Supporting Actor nomination
for The Aviator, quoted in Tom Shone, “Alan Alda: 'Laugh? I Nearly Died,'” The Telegraph (U.K.), Jan. 28, 2016
