Kate Hudson has opened up on her attitude to acting and the idea of consciously chasing an Oscar.
Kate Hudson doesn’t want to make movies just for the critics.
The 45-year-old actress – whose rom-coms like ‘Bride Wars’ and ‘How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days’ became cult classic despite failing to impress critics – insisted an artist has to have different goals for a film.
She told Entertainment Weekly: “I think in the movie world, critics who are looking at things with a certain microscope might sometimes not be looking at it as what people need. The critic has changed, meaning the whole world is a critic now.
“When you’re making a movie to feel a certain way, I call it a spectrum: Who are you making them for? Are you making it for the critic? Are you making it for the people?
“You try to make the best movie possible, telling the story that you’re trying to tell. If you’re trying to think about it as who you’re trying to please, you’re probably going to miss.”
Kate insisted movies like ‘Bride Wars’ and ‘Something Borrowed’ would be “very different” movies if they were trying to be “some “critically acclaimed, Oscar campaign-worthy film”.
She added: “I also think people don’t realise how hard it is to get a movie like that made and enjoyed.”
Now, Kate is making her leading TV debut in Netflix’s new sports comedy ‘Running Point’.
Although she has had roles in the likes of ‘Glee’ and ‘Truth Be Told’, she had a bigger part to play this time round, and she was surprised by the difference between film and television on set.
She explained: “It was a completely new experience.
“I’d never been on a show where you do so much in one day. You would shoot a scene from two completely different episodes.
“I was like, ‘This is a whole new world.’ But we had such an amazing team of people, and oh my God, we just laughed so much.”
