This afternoon in Berlin I learned that I was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Actor. You may have heard this before, but it has never been truer than it is for me today; it is extremely humbling, gratifying, and delightful to have your work recognized by the Academy, and to join the celebrated ranks of previous nominees and colleagues. Amazing.

George R.R. Martin on writing women

• George Stroumboulopoulos: There's one thing that's interesting about your books. I noticed that you write women really well and really different. Where does that come from?
• George R.R. Martin: You know, I've always considered women to be people.

“A clue? Of course there’s a clue, there’s always a bloody clue. Shut them up.” 

He just figured out Blue’s Clues, because he’s infinitely smarter than us.
