Wait, Matthew McConaughey wants a Best Actor Oscar nom for Interstellar?!

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.
