Tilda Swinton: Take My Oscar, Please!

After winning an Oscar most people wouldn't want to let it out of their sight or hands -- not if you're a strange bird like Tilda Swinton.


The androgynous porcelain figurine was swarmed by autograph hounds outside the Sunset Tower Hotel last night and let every Tom, Dick and Harry grope his her little golden boy.

16. She's totally cool. What other actress would have done that? The rest of them walk around with sticks up with butt.

17. Shes a good actress doesnt have to put makeup on. Does anyone know did she play archangel Michael in the movie Constantine will Keanu Reeves?

18. She won an Oscar and in her acceptance speech, she said she was going to give it to her agent. I believe thus is an Oscar night first.

19. Personally I thought that was awesome. She understands that it is just an award, it doesn't determin her future - her talent does. I've always loved Tilda and now I think she rocks even more.

20. Yes, Tilda Fan! (#6), she was the white witch in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. She was absolutely brilliant. She definitely does not fit the classic beauty mold of Hollwood yet there is something about her that is intriguing.

Does anybody know if she played the Borg Queen in Star Trek (I think)?

21. YUCKAMODOO!! UGLIEST WOMAN ON THE PLANET. And she purposely chose the ugliest dress she could find!! Yes, she can act but she's so ugly she ruins the films she in for me...and she acts like winning an Oscar is no big deal...seems to me she's just trying to thumb her nose at the glamor of the Oscars--but I don't think there's enough makeup in the world that could improve on her face anyway...
can't stand her condescending attitude--like she's trying too hard to be "cool" or "unique." Bleccch.

22. I think she's doing a NICE thing by letting other people touch it. Good for her! It shows that she, unlike a lot of other celebrities, actually realizes that she's still human and not above everyone else! She also knows that these people are never going to get to win their own Oscar, so she's SHARING hers and letting other people enjoy it for a little while. What's wrong with that? It's not like they're going to hurt it just by touching it. I have a whole new sense of respect for her for choosing not to be a snob.

23. Yes #17, she was the archangel in Constantine.
I think Tilda is pretty cool and down to earth to be letting fans hold her Oscar and take pictures with her!

24. Hey, she appreciates the fans.

What's wrong with that???

As for looks, she has a unique beauty that I wouldn't call ugly.

25. Ok I know that we are not supposed to care or judge what people look like but we all get a free pass and say Tilda Swinton is so ugly. You mean to tell me that someone with that kind of status and money, can't even hire a great stylist and makeup artist to put her together just for one night. The woman said she has never seen the Oscars. Oh give me a break. She walked out of the house looking like she sewed some bed sheets together and slapped some mousse in her hair. Don't get me started on the pale skin. Is there any sun where she lives? Any tanning salons? And she looked like she missed some meal calls. She looked like all she had to eat was a celery. SHE JUST LOOKED AWFULLY UGLY!!!!

28. Crazy video, can't believe she let those people hold her Oscar. She seems nice.

29. Just as an FYI, Radioman is actually very well known in entertainment circles. Aside from being seen at many press junkets, he was even given a small cameo as himself in EDWARD NORTON'S "KEEPING THE FAITH"... As for the others in the video? No clue!

30. well while all you are worried about how ugly she is, which she isnt. How cool of her to let fans hold an Oscar and take photo's with her. She is obviously a very cool lady.
