@@minder01 In some sense it kind of is literal. It has and can happen but usually, even if a movie has dual protagonist the studio will only campaign for one actor. Or perhaps even though the lead did a really great job and the movie is great they will look at who the actor would be up against and decide they would rather want to mount a campaign for the supporting role. Seeing they have a better shot at winning with the support rather than the lead. In such cases it's usual that the lead, or the senior actor who's getting paid the most will be asked if they are okay with it. Russel Crowe has told the story about how when he got his first campagin mounted on his behalf he expected it would be him and Pacino but the studio only had money to do it for one and Pacino told them to back Crowe. Which Crowe then later paid forward by having the studio back Giamatti when he was asked by the studio who they should back. And those campaigns do in fact cost quite a bit of money, not in a money being directly exchanged for a vote kind of way. More in the way that it costs money to run an election campaign, in some ways it's not that different than running for any office. Even before he was revealed to be who he was, it was an open secret that without Weinstein throwing the parties and the campaign he mounted for Shakespeare in Love it would not have won best picture over Saving Private Ryan.

What really impressed me was that he asked for some of the Baron's scenes to be cut, so that it would enhance the character's gravitas. Most actors would demand more screentime, but Stellan was more interested in the overall quality of the story and movie.

Skarsgard and Jared Harris were phenomenal together in Chernobyl, I was rapt. And paired with Tony Gilroy's exceptional writing, Andor was elevated beyond anything Star Wars has ever been before. Luthen was an absurdly compelling character.

What a phenomenal interview. Thank you for including “Andor” in his filmology.

I've seen him in a million things and I've known who he is for many, many years now, but still, it's a little shocking to see this condensed list of his filmography and reflecting on _just how many_ iconic roles in big productions he's been in. And bizarrely, instead of aging out, some of my favorite roles he's been in have been in just the last decade, and they seem to be getting more frequent! Anyway, just thankful to have his presence in modern cinema. He's always lent a sense of authenticity to every production he's been in.

Much like his character in Dune, Stellan is a giant talent that commands your attention. Fascinating to listen to him recount his numerous roles and how he viewed them both prior to filming and now in hindsight. Wonderful interview.

What a career. His Captain Tupolev in Hunt for Red October was brief but very memorable. But his performance in Andor is breathtaking. I think I held my breath all through his oft-mentioned monologue - the emotional intensity was off the charts.

When I was a kid, and there was a movie on TV with him in it, my dad would be like "Look, it's Stellan Skarsgård, he is a swedish actor!", and now as an adult I think I will probably do the same when I have kids.

This an amazing 16 minute clip. I could listen to Stellan for hours. He is so engaging and not your typical moviestar.

That voice. Mesmerizing.

"He has three brains working at high speed all at the same time!" I don't think I've ever heard a more apt description of RW.

That speech in Andor is the single best line delivery in the entirety of the franchise

Fantastic actor. Loved him in Andor and everything he does. Thank you sir for entertaining us!

I have to say he has been the progenitor of one of the best actor families ever. I love him and his children and their acting skills. Long Live A King.

His voice carries his characters so well, he's a master of delivering dialogue.

Gosh, Stellan is such an icon, I adore him. His range is literally limitless, he’s done everything atp and excels at every role. A true screen legend.

I already liked Stellan Skarsgard, but this made me like him even more. What a fun dude... with a great career of iconic characters.

this guy may well be my favorite actor.

So happy Andor proved me wrong. As much as I love the original trilogy, this was something way more intense.

I love Lars von Trier films and I love Dune, so Stellan Skarsgard is one of my favorite actors. One of the reasons I wanted to read Dune was because he is the Baron, now I love the books. I'm almost done with book 4.
