Here are some photos from Matthew McConaughey’s Hollywood Walk of Fame event yesterday. He got his star! I’m sure the studio paid for it as part of some Interstellar promotion. Christopher Nolan, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain were all on hand for the ceremony too. I still kind of think Matthew hates Anne, but they’re doing a good job of being civil to each other during the promotional tour.
According to Deadline, this Walk of Fame event was pretty much a full-on Oscar campaign event. They say that Paramount invited a lot of Oscar voters to the ceremony and the whole thing was about Interstellar and Interstellar’s chances for some Oscar nominations. I sort of forgot that Matthew might want an Oscar nomination for this role. He wants a second nomination in the space of two years? Wow. I forgot about Matthew’s possible awards contention because, quite honestly, MM isn’t on many of the Best Actor prediction lists. The Best Actor category is going to be quite stacked this year and MM already has his Oscar. I doubt he’ll get another nom, but Interstellar will probably get a buttload of specific effects nominations.
Oh, and here’s one good sign that Matthew hasn’t lost his sense of humor – after refusing to come back for the Magic Mike sequel, Magic Mike XXL, Page Six says that Matthew actually did agree to do a cameo. He was the only actor from the original cast that refused to come back, so that’s nice. Maybe I’m alone here, but I LOVED him in Magic Mike. He was acting his ass off.

No that won’t happen I don’t think.
It won’t happen. The film will get some tech nods, and I think theres a good shot at a BP nom, but Best Actor just ain’t gonna happen.
the amount of corny oneliners and irrelevant “scientific” words in that movie was too damn high. If you have some engineering education, it’s hard to watch without laughing. Soundtrack was nice though!!
It’s also meant to be in the future so they could be writing a bunch of rubbish. I enjoyed it but tooooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggg. Can’t they get their point across in 2 hours these days?
You guys do realize it is one of the most scientifically accurate films ever made, right?
@Domino – Till Star Wars comes out
The last time I saw a movie that had me thinking in interesting ways was Contact, and the science was critical to the plot, so I thought it was pretty good.
Kip thorn was the physicist behind the movie & he’s a renowned physicist, the science wasn’t rubbish in the lest.
AGREED on all points.
Yes, very good score, which drowned out a quarter of the dialogue.
It did, didn’t it? I remember thinking, “ok I get it, now can we dial it back a bit?”
I wish the music would have drowned out a lot of the cornier dialogue. There were some cringeworthy moments that needed to be muted.
I liked him in MM alot. The movie itself was okay, but I thought he was spot on and def had the MO/personality of an owner of a strip club down pat. Oily, sneaky and backstabbing, all served up with a big smile.
Agree, it was a great part for him. I still view him as tailor-made for those types of roles. Still see him as Mr. Rom Com.
Camilla + center part = no.
What an absolutely gorgeous family–those kids could not be any cuter. And I love the way they are dressed–simply perfection!
+1. My thoughts exactly! Who cares about the adults here?
So cute. That little flowered dress or coat is adorable.
Interstellar is an amazing film.. but it’s all due to Christopher Nolan and the special effects department.. I think Matthew McHisface overacted in it and as much as I loved the film I think he was miscast. So no. I hope he won’t receive a best actor nom.
he has a lovely family though.. that little girl looks really shy and adorable.
You can see how short he must be in person from these pics… what is he, 5’7?
LOL! Anne Hathaway’s 5’9″ and has heels on. He’s 6′.
His wife is tall
I’ve stood next to him. He’s a tall guy, definitely not 5 7.
Maybe it’s the suit — in that last pic, he looks wee and suit is drowning on him.
CUTE KIDS!
That’s all I got.
EDIT – Is the teen in the cast picture the young girl who played the hybrid love-child in Twilight movies?
Yeah. And she’s amazing in the film. Her performance and Matthew’s are heartbreaking.
Yes,she’s this teen
I was wondering the same thing! But I’ve never seen BD so I thought I was just losing my mind
Thanks to all for answering something I could have easily googled (had I not been lazy) 🙂
She really grown into a lovely teen.
And so much prettier than the creepy CGI future-face they gave her in the BD movie.
Interstellar is horribly overrated. I caught it on IMAX this past Sunday, and it is as if someone took the Grapes of Wrath (1930’s dustbowl) , 2001 ( 1st note of the score, alien calling card/invitation), Contact (wormhole, father-daughter bond, morse code/radio nostalgia), Prometheus (mission to find our creators/planets), and Signs (obtuse, abstract convergence of science and the paranormal) and blended them all together with the obvious references highlighted.
I am so tired of unoriginality masquerading as homage. Matthew’s acting was mindnumbingly awful toward the end of the move. If he gets another Oscar nod, I would hope it would be for something more worthwhile. To date, his best performance in anything has been on True Detective. The pacing of anything he is in has to be tailored to his slow, drawn-out speech patterns and mannerisms; otherwise, it becomes like a Ford Pinto fumbling along at a leisurely 15 MPH in the fast lane.
Are they going for Matthew instead of Jessica or are they campaigning for both?
Matthew was incredible in Interstellar. The scenes where he watches the tape of his son Casey Aflleck and in the tesseract when he tries desperately to communicate with Jessica are at least on a par with his virtuoso performance in True Detective. Beautiful, naturalistic acting as opposed to Cumberbitch and his Sherlock re-tread in Imitation Game.
I haven’t seen “Interstellar” (yet), so I can’t comment on its awards-worthiness, but I will say that Matthew & Camilla have a beautiful family. That little Vida is just cute as a button (their sons are adorable too). 😉
I feel about MM the same way I feel about Tom Cruise- can’t stand them as people, but I concede and even respect that they’re pretty damn good at what they do. 😏
It probably won’t happen…however you don’t have two Oscar winners in a movie without trying to get some noms and hopefully for your stars. It wouldn’t surprise me that they are trying for it, for him and possibly Anne and Jessica.
I thought Alex Pettfyer also was not back for Magic Mike XXL?
Interstellar will get ZERO acting nominations.
Look, he was really good. But the movie isn’t up to Nolan’s usual standards. Too unwieldy. I felt underwhelmed and that might be colouring my judgement but I don’t think he will be nominated for it. But he was impressive, even if the movie wasn’t.
Pretty much every film actor wants an Oscar. Just like almost every TV actor submits for the Emmys, no matter how unlikely it may seem.
I liked the film, didn’t love it like I have some of Nolan’s other work, but I thought everyone in it was very good. I actually think I might have liked it more with a different lead actor, though I’m not sure who I’d have chosen instead.
I imagine it will pick up some FX awards though.
I think people want to make more of the not coming back for Magic Mike than there is. It was actually a well-reviewed film by a well-respected director. It’s not like it was the male version of Showgirls. I thought MM was fabulous in it and won some real acclaim for it. Some had even speculated on an Oscar nod–didn’t he pick up an early award? I don’t think he’s ashamed of it or reluctant for that reason to come back. He probably doesn’t want to do the training for it again–especially after the toll his body went through for DBC–or he wants a break.
I like him but feel like his face never really recovered from that drastic weight loss for Dallas Buyers Club. Eyelids Droopy, face gaunt. I’ve loved his looks since a time to kill and Amistad so I’m pretty sure his face is broken. He was so pretty.
Liked the movie a lot & it’s the best space movie since Contact, favorite movie this year maybe in years….but MM didn’t turn in an oscar performance.
If they nominate him again, I won’t watch the ceremony.
