Emmy nomination
Voight is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Mickey Donovan on Ray Donovan.
It’s a very prestigious nomination and I’m very grateful for it. Last night, I watched the first episode of the new season and I’m reminded of the good work from everyone — the writing, the cast. I’m so happy the show will be represented at the Emmys this year. I’m proud to be a part of this group.
Wins Oscar
Jon Voight wins the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance of a paralyzed Vietnam veteran in Hal Ashby’s Coming Home. Ginger Rogers and Diana Ross present the award. Voight:
I’m carrying with me all the men who gave me so much of their experience to deal with, who have contributed so much: the people in chairs, and the veterans, and the civilians, and the walkers, who are so strongly represented in what I’d call my work. Thank you very much.
