But at Sundance’s kick-off press conference, he wondered whether All Is Lost ‘s distributors were “incapable.” Burn!
The Oscar nominations were announced Thursday: the same day Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival kicked off in Park City, Utah. Though he was once a favorite not only to be nominated, but to win for his performance in All Is Lost, Redford was snubbed.
At the annual kickoff press conference Thursday afternoon, here is Redford is pictured with festival director, John Cooper, and executive director, Keri Putnam.

Sean P. Means, the film critic for the Salt Lake City Tribune, who was moderating the press conference with Redford and the festival programmers, asked him about it right away.

Redford handled the question tactfully, yet incisively. "I don't want that to get in the way of why we're here," he said. "Because this is very important to me and the staff. Let me speak frankly about how I feel about it."

He then praised the director, J.C. Chandor, and the movie. "I loved working with him," Redford said. "We premiered his first film at our festival, so there was that connection."
