Jeremy Renner has called his Golden Globe nomination a "big victory".
The star, who has received a nod in the Best Supporting Actor in a
Motion Picture category for his role in the Ben Affleck directed
thriller ‘The Town’ thinks he received the nomination because movies
like it are a rarity in Hollywood.
He said: "These days, it's a big victory in that sense that it was
received really well when it came out and that it did really well with
the audience. I don't think every studio is going to go out and start
making movies like this but at least there's a little more hope that we
can attempt to try to make some really engaging cinema."
"Wow, did we have a really kickass character drama masked within a
really intriguing bank heist movie? To me, it's a throwback to the 70s
-- really tremendous cinema. ... Movies like this just don't get made."
Jeremy, who was nominated for an Academy Award earlier this year for
'The Hurt Locker', said he planned to celebrate his achievement by
taking a shower and enjoying the night.
Asked what his plans were for celebrating he told Variety: "A nice
shower ... I think later on tonight's going to be a good night."
