Since even before I can remember, the Academy Awards have been among the most prestigious awards in the performing arts. I wanted one, I was never able to get one. It’s true, actually. I would’ve taken it if they would’ve called me. I waited, & waited, & waited. Still waiting way past my jail time.
Good one😆
Not only should they have given you one because of SW already, but also they should give you one because of Wing Commander 3, 4, and 5!
You absolutely deserved an Academy Award for Star Wars. How they never called you when that movie was the most popular movie of its time and still is, I'll never understand. You have been robbed and overlooked, and it's shameful. I would have voted for you if I could. It's not right.
You are so fucking funny LOL
I thought your Arthur Pym could have won an Oscar. That was a character. #FallOfTheHouseOfUsher
There's still time. 😀
Funny, evil and somewhat sad.
You're golden Mark, you don't need a trophy to tell you that.
It’s about Trump whining that he never got a Kennedy Center award.
Oh, is he still whining about that.
Mark just use The Force and by that I mean just force your way into Harvey Weinstein office and take his Oscar away for winning Shakespeare In Love over Saving Private Ryan.
Well, you’ve get People’s Award from us, every day. If it means anything. For being exceptional artist and a human being.
Academy award, Nobel prize..... maybe if there is a category for words biggest asshole!!
How stupid are WE, for constantly legitimising him? Not talking about MAGA here, but all the rest of us. Constantly letting him get away with it all. No one confronting him. No one doing anything.
Seems to be a trait of people who have the power to confront him! No balls no spine, only worried about themselves
It’s a real problem with people right now, they either don’t care or put themselves first. Whatever happened to doing the right thing because it was moral?
Im old enough to remember when politicians actually tried to accomplish things for their constituents!
Bro. You old.
Lol tell me something I don't know 🤣😆
The majority of Bluesky users skew older.
Politicians stopped giving a fuck in the 80s.
GN out there with all CAPS let’s keep it going
Next national protest is September 1st. Find the one in your area and come on out! We need the numbers.
What the actual fuck would you have us do that we aren't? Phone calls, letters, emails don't work & they don't attend town halls or they run for their lives when confronted with truth. Nothing will stop this now until we revolt with blood & guts Will losing voting rights make you take up arms?
Anyone holding a mic up to him should question every cynical lie he vomits out. If he bans all journalists, he won't have a pedestal. Tech companies, like Google, Apple, Facebook and the likes, should censor his shit instead of enabling his allies to censor fact checking. This is all happening now.
It is the constant spam for revenue that is breaking the system. The worst offender being Big Tech, hiding behind the lie of free speech.
Unbelievably and incredibly stupid.
Yes it sounds insane. Maybe you can honour yourself next year?
What's all this past tense talk? Just keep up the good work - the laurels will come :)
I think he is pointing out that it "was" an honour. Now the mango mobster says he will take it over. Like the Kennedy Centre, everything has to be about the nazi.
TACO is planning to take over the Oscars now? So he can give himself one I assume?
Mark's mocking Trump. You can see the clip of Trump as start of this Seth Meyers video. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucSe...
I figured Mark was doing SOMETHING with the "waiting and waiting and waiting" but had no idea what... So your President - who has never been an entertainer - wanted a prestigious performance award so badly he took over the Kennedy Center. And admits it. Sadly this all tracks for 2025 Earth Prime.
Hope you are speaking to Mark when you say "your president" cos that orange creep certainly ain't mine. I ain't even in the US. :D Not that UK politicians are great but at least they ain't Trump. Have a good day. :D
I haven't been there during Dump's current "reign" and won't be back til he's out 🇨🇦
Trump renaming the Kennedy Centre isn’t such a bad thing. After all it was named after a dead president and most of us are ok with them maintaining the tradition.
You were robbed for your performance as Jim the Vampire
The Swearwolves apparently have sway with the Academy.
Would you settle for a Kennedy/Trump Center honor?
As far as I’m concerned, you have earned your very own Oscar! Think of the “awards” granted to the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion in “The Wizard of Oz” 😊
Here’s hoping Life of Chuck does it for you!
some of your Joker work was amazing
Have you called any random foreign leaders? The finance guy from the Netherlands might be able to pull a few strings.
Works the same as the Grammys - its not what you did, its who you know and how marketable your stuff is in the future, not the past. Thanks for everything, like many you have a special part in my life.
Mark's mocking Trump. You can see the clip of Trump as start of this Seth Meyers video. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucSe...
I have watched the trailer for The Long Walk several times now and only just realized that was your voice under the hat!
@markhamillofficial.bsky.social If you work for the Academy, sometimes they let you in as a seat filler.
Then you said to hell with it, you'll become a HERO. And you already have honour and we already honour you so forget next year, OK?! From a Brit. I'm with you, Mar🐫
You deserve one Mr Hamill 💙👏🏼
But, you’re already a huge winner at something more important: LIFE !
Who knows? There's always next year or maybe a lifetime achievement award. 😉
Maybe you can get a Kennedy Center honor from the turd, 😂 Just kidding. ❌ 👑
At least we presented in 1978 (I was operating R2-D2).
And that forever worked its way into my husbands’ heart.
Box office numbers are an indicator of success..Academy awards fade into the shadows . you will always have fans..not only because you are the essence of theatre but a decent human being..what better example for youth to look up to..:-)
Well played, sir!
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 Perfection!!!!!
Mr. Hamill, you are such a treasure.
😂😂😂👊🏾✌🏾
I think you deserve it. Sorry Mark, but they don't understand nuance so they won't recognize movies about Space Nazis, only the regular kind. That is their favorite flavor of Oscar-baiting. Ooof I do NOT like that word in my brain at all.
The replies must be like attending your own funeral
It's not out of the question you'll get your Oscar, so they can make this joke...
I would like to thank my producer, my director, everyone who supported me when my posts we a little on the inane side And of course, Mom, Dad... this is for you
You flawlessly played one of the most famous roles in movie history. If they didn't want to give you an award, that's their problem not yours
🔥
It’s never too late.
Past his brig or Hague time.
🤣
You are appreciated! 💜
You absolutely deserve an award. You and your characters are true icons of all time. Thank you for your work Mark.
You won the 2004 inkpot award for lifetime achievement, who needs an Oscar!
Unnecessary Mark, your trophy is being loved now and for centuries to come.
Mark, in any aspect of your work or your life, I would find it hard to believe anyone being disappointed in you. You are loved Mark Hamill💙 That’s better than an Oscar💙
Thank you for making my day!
May he be as quickly forgotten after his death as Rush Limbaugh was.
👍👍
Great mockery!
But you will always be remembered by others
You should get a nomination for The Life of Chuck. You were brilliant.
Agreed! Great movie and a great role
There are a couple of roles you did that I think you deserved an award or at least a nom. Griff for one, Luke of course, a few voice roles. You should have gotten Emmy's too. Hope the Long Walk gets you something. 🦆💞😉 PS you should have been Mozart.
🤣🥰 Brilliant! Thank you for making me snort-laugh, causing my cat to startle.
Pah! What is a mere award when compared with the love and adoration of your fans? We would crawl through broken glass for you and... [Wow! I'm pretty good at this. I'm just nipping over to Truth Social to see if I can charm Trump into an early retirement]
Here ya go
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
An Oscar worthy performance
Are you old enough for a lifetime achievement award?
Had to ChatGPT that. Hard to believe!
For what?
While I see you are being wonderfully snarky, you may just get an Oscar next year. Your work in The Life Of Chuck was outstanding!
Well Mark, you're in the game. Your odds are better than 99.9999% of us. Find the right role, the right director, and screenwriter. Let the magic happen. Break a leg.
Touché Mark 👏🏻😂👏🏻😂
Frank Oz will be there cheering you on from the sidelines. The Muppet Movie did not win anything and he also failed to get nominated as Yoda... AND HE KNEW AND WORKED WITH OSCAR (who won an Oscar btw) Most of his adult life!
You’ve won an Oscar from me!🏆
This has gone over the head of so many...👏
I’m one of those people who doesn’t get it. Would be nice if someone could explain.
Trump Kennedy Center speech. It's nauseating.
Trump's not Mark's...Mark's post is funny. Worried I needed yo clarify.
Now I know where to look for 👍
Thanks! Your first explanation was clear to me 😁 The thing is, whenever Trump says or does something stupid, outrageous, infuriating or otherwise inspires reactions that I see around, I try to look what it refers to. There’s just always so much, and not all of it refers to things familiar to me.
Same & I get so sick of Felon47 taking up any part of my brain I try to avoid intentionally consuming his content when possible.
I get that. Also, it’s getting increasingly more difficult to check his “truth” “social” account. Loads of commercials and very often I get a warning for scrolling to fast and/or being “unauthorized”. Makes it difficult to check at the source so to speak. Also, it makes me sick, so there’s that…
I've never been on it. Bravo to you for being able to check. X has been the extent of my limited tolerance.
You won one, in my heart.
If you want a nomination at least, now that you have acquired that wise look, take a role as 1) aging father with terminal illness trying to reconnect to wayward grandson of dead son; 2) dying man trying to go home to find lost love; 3) retired MAGA professor sent to inner city school 4 comm. serv.
The president revealed that he had agreed to emcee the event after organizers allegedly begged him to fill the role, arguing he would bring better ratings.” Begged him? BEGGED HIM???? He’s the fucking chairman! Oh my god, I just hate him so much…
Just tell myself, maybe he'll be gone by then (from office or the world) One can hope. . .
When he says “begged him” he means “were threatened by him”
That’s correct! I couldn’t find my Trump translator book, so thanks! 😬
🤣perfect
You deserve one. You are a legend.😪
It was a travesty that Corvette Summer was overlooked.
That's an old Superstation WTBS favorite of mine in the mid-1980s.
It's a fun movie.
It blows me away that every role you've done, live, has been in movies that very much should have gotten you an academy award.
🤣🤣
Let the avalanche of I’ve got an Oscar worthy role for Mark begin.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 GOOD parody of TSF 👏👏👏👏👏👏🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Ya can’t have everything Where would ya put it?
I see what you did there. 😏
You should have won for Corvette Summer 👍🏼
You didn't get one for Corvette Summer??
I’d nominate you for your role in “The Life of Chuck”. Beautiful work.
You qualify.
🏆
Well maybe acting isn’t the way you’re going to get one. Have you tried sound editing?
Mark's mocking Trump. You can see the clip of Trump as start of this Seth Meyers video. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucSe...
Luke’s arc in The Last Jedi was a dramatic masterpiece, and your performance made it unforgettable. It deserved recognition.
You and Bob Hope
🤭
You deserve one. Cheers to YOU!
Not all academy award winners are as beloved as you are. In fact, many are not even remembered. You will live on in so many hearts while Oscar collects dust on a shelf.❤️
You still can you know .
I really hope The Life of Chuck is remembered during awards season. It's such a beautiful movie and you are wonderful in it.
I always wanted a Congressional Medal of Honor, to show to random women in bars. 🤓
I’d like to correct this headline. “And here’s your host…a RAPIST!😡😡😡😡
Well buddy, there’s always the Emmie’s! That’s where I would go if you can’t do film
🤣
a clear mistake on their part. you are a national treasure -
😂
Well, they never asked ME if it should be yours. I'd have said yes. I don't have an Academy attitude to popularity and genre films. What I like, I like, and I go to movies rarely.
I will 3D print you one. With your name on it and everything 😆.
I'm sorry, but I must fight the most annoying and pervasive grammatical error ever. It's not if they would've called me, but if they had called me. Besides you're still world famous, would an Oscar make that much of a difference.
Mark's mocking Trump. You can see the clip of Trump as start of this Seth Meyers video. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucSe...
Lol! "And next year, I'm giving myself an award because I'm the chairman"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
we're a-rooting for ya! @markhamill.bsky.social
You deserve one.
You sound like Trump and his Nobel prize, hahahahaha
Brilliant!
Just install yourself as chairman, host the Oscars yourself, and then nominate yourself for an award next year. Seems like that’s the thing to do these days.
🤣😂
Hey I saw your performance in Life of Chuck ....it was amazing! I really believed you were this troubled haunted alcoholic old geezer!!
You will get a lifetime achievement award sir. That said you deserved it for The Last Jedi.
I couldn't tell ya who won an academy award, but I can name almost every roll you've ever played. You have staying power
What, you weren't nominated for Midnight Ride? Not even for The Guyver?!
in america jail time never comes (for some) :-) alas i don't think you're one of the chosen, but on the bright side you'll probably wind up in heaven instead
A lot of people love you and think you should have one!
You're a real trooper, Mr. Hamill.
I think your performance in nailing the role of Luke Skywalker will transcend any awards Hollywood could bestow on you. History and the arts will remember your name long after the last academy is given
This is not the award you're looking for.
Do you need a hug?
I see what you’re doing there with your freaking Jedi mind tricks, Hamill, THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!! 🤡
Pitty your supporting role to a gargling gargoyle was too far ahead of its time.
But I’m sure you have enough pride that you would turn down a Melania (formerly Kennedy) Center Award this year had they called. Not that they would — I’m sure you’re on the Orange Fascist’s list.
You deserve a nomination for Life of Chuck
Brilliant
You’re hilarious. 😆
He’s such a weird, sick fuck.
You truly deserve a nomination for Life of Chuck
“Since 1978 the Kennedy Center honors have been amongst the most prestigious awards. I wanted one, never able to get one. I would have taken it. I waited and waited and waited & I said to hell with it, I'll become chairman. I will give myself an honor. Next year we'll honor trump, okay?”~ GUESS WHO
Trump destroys everything he touches. Way to ruin everything about the Kennedy Center Awards! 🤦♂️ I'm wearing a t-shirt that says We the People Are Pissed Off... 👇 libtees.dashery.com/products/787...
Sadly, I suspect, it won't be to long until fascist Trump takes over the Academy Awards. And then who wins will be based on how much Trump was paid and praised.
They have always dismissed science fiction except in the technical categories. Not nearly enough attention is paid to voice acting, either. No matter, though. There are far more people who know who you are than can list more than three of last year's winners.
I like you as an actor To be totally honest I’ve never seen a performance of yours that I thought was extraordinary But that is okay We can all aspire to be extraordinary but it’s the rare individual that can achieve it Plus the more I learn about extraordinary people the less I like them
Mark's mocking Trump. You can see the clip of Trump as start of this Seth Meyers video. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucSe...
I feel like there are many actors who I think deserve Oscars but never got one..
For Your Consideration
Orange Mussolini will soon be openly threatening AMPAS and ATAS/NATAS if they don't award him his much-deserved Oscar and Emmy, respectively.
And unlike others you earned one!! You deserve an Oscar unlike the other guy.
LoL 😆.
Lolololol😂😂😂
My apologies to you. I misunderstood the joke in your post & posted an unfriendly-nothing nasty or 4 lettered!-back. I deleted it immediately when I was informed the real context of what you said. 'Thank you for your attention to this matter!'
Mark Hamill you are a hero to the entire world.
I'm surprised by how many people missed your point, Mark, but I hope their kind compliments made your day.... maybe even cause you to blush a little bit. ☺️
You are a National Treasure! And what you are doing now is much more important than an award you would need to dust periodically. You are an elegant, truthful voice in very dark times. Your greatest fame rests in your kindness and courage in speaking out to ALL OF US. Now THAT IS A LEGACY!
You were GREAT in Corvette Summer! You got robbed, man
You don't get one for participating, you get one for being a great actor.
They've obviously never seen the film masterpiece that was Cybertruck Summer.
There’s only one solution: take over the Academy Awards.
You deserve one sir. You made Star Wars real for all of us
If it were within my power, I would give you an Academy award!
I see what you did there! 🙌
Would an honorary Oscar be meaningful to you?
Mark's mocking Trump. You can see the clip of Trump as start of this Seth Meyers video. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucSe...
Oh my gosh thank you. I thought this was dead serious.
I like 'crime pod'.
I astonished that the Academy never offered it to you ... I never realized. However, here's hoping it comes someday ...
Given the impact of Star Wars and your acting bringing to life its protagonist Luke I foresee a special Oscar in your future to recognize your accomplishments. You make life better for millions of us❣️
You deserve it!!!
It occurs to me that not only is American Media largely silent, but so is American Celebrity. In the sixties, musicians, actors, writers and artists were not only the face of the movement, they were the movement. Face front at rallys, mission forward in their art. Where are your friends?
Us fans would award you, Sir the Award of Infinite Hope. With all the negative 🍊 politics these days, your Holographic messages give us a smile. Thank you.
You’ve got several OSCARS in my book not only for your body of work (lifetime achievement OSCAR anyone?) but for your activism & your use of your platform to speak truth to power.
I agree. Mark’s humor, kindness, humanity, and world view are the mark of a true renaissance man.👏🫡
If the tour-de-force that was Cockknocker didn’t get you a Best Supporting nomination, nothing can. The Academy is rigged!
Now is your time to take over the Academy and give yourself one.
I saw The Life of Chuck this evening, great performance from you, Mr Hamill. A Best Supporting Actor Oscar beckons maybe?! 🤞 #39GreatYears
You're a legit legend
Clever Beaver 😂
Ghislaine Maxwell & Rump should have been sentenced to the trash compactor.
Because his Daddy didn't love him, we have to deal with his insecurities.
I feel the same way about martinis.
That's for me training for #ironman You can use it for your goal. Don't stop.
I wish
Corvette Summer was some top form filmmaking.
Omfg
You totally deserve one for Best Actor.
Dreyfuss should hand it over.
Dreyfuss should hand over his actor license.
There's far too much randomness in that kind of Award. If you get the right role, at the right time, with the right opposing competition, then you get all the rewards. I don't think there's any real way to game the system, aside from things like calling The Bear a comedy.
So surprised you never received one. You definitely deserve it sir. But you know, Hollywood. 🤷♂️
Now Mark, if you have to give yourself an honor, er Oscar, does it even really count?
Mark's mocking Trump. You can see the clip of Trump as start of this Seth Meyers video. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucSe...
Yes, I'm aware. Trump said he'd give himself the Kennedy center honor. My point was, if he does that, does it count?
probably counts to Trump. He's never actually wanted to do the work to earn an award the right way. :/
fwiw i saw star wars when I was seven years old in 1977 and i was never the same again. I grew up in Bismarck NorthDakota. there was little diversity. Star wars made me a firm believer in diversity and standing up against tyrants. might not be an academy award, but you made a rebel out of me.
It's the waiting...
so many people missing this 🤦🏼♀️
It’s a symptom of the American people’s malaise. They have ceased to ‘look up’, thus failing to see what’s going over their heads.
agreed
Not everyone reacting here is from the USA. I’m Dutch and follow Mark, and most of the time I get his references, but I missed this one and didn’t know where to go looking. A friendly person here in the comments took pity on me and kindly explained. That’s nicer than rolling eyes at “ignorance”.
Yep. I read it and thought “nope, he wouldn’t say this. Must be satire. I bet Dump said something truly dumb, just like this”. And yep.
yup.
I feel like you're the entire internet's Uncle Mark
There's always the "Lifetime Achievement Award" Mark.
You carried a franchise on your back! You’ve never been nominated? Does science fiction get taken seriously?
There’s still time. And you deserve more than one! You’re Luke fucking Skywalker for fucks sake! Sorry, I get a little excited. Hard to believe you don’t have one.
You've inspired millions to never give up hope. That's better than any golden trinket.
He’s mocking Trump whining that he’d never got a Kennedy Center award.
Sorry, I find it impossible to keep track of all the things Trump whines about. 😉
Use the force, Luke.
