CLOONEY: 'OSCAR DOESN'T EQUATE TO HOLLYWOOD POWER'
GEORGE CLOONEY has admitted winning an Oscar hasn't made much difference to the power he wields in Hollywood.
George Clooney at The 78th Annual Academy Awards (Oscars) held at Kodak Theater. Hollywood, California- 05.03.06
The actor, who won a Best Supporting Actor gong in 2006 for SYRIANA, concedes his award success was "really exciting" - but isn't planning on going to great lengths to win another sought-after statuette.
He explains, "There is an interesting thing that happens (when you win an Oscar). There is this great celebration. You're really excited. You call all your friends. Your friends have called you. That part takes about a day.
"But it doesn't make any difference. I can't carry my Oscar with me to the studio. It's still just as difficult to get a seven million dollar (GBP3.5 million) film or a 70 million dollar (GBP35 million) film financed.
"I can tell the Oscar night was a hell of a night. The party was a lot of fun. But I'm telling you I won't gain 40 pounds (80kg) like I did for Syriana in the hopes of winning an Oscar."
