Veteran actor Robert Redford said he was not upset to be left out of an Oscars nomination in the best actor category for his role in 'All Is Lost'.
The 77-year-old actor, who previously won the best director Oscar for 'Ordinary People', however, blamed poor distributors Roadside Attractions for not campaigning enough, reported Variety.
"Would it have been wonderful to be nominated? Of course. I'm not disturbed by it or upset by it," Redford said.
The actor-director said Hollywood industry is all about business and his film, directed by J C Chandor, suffered from poor marketing.
"I don't want that to get in the way of why we're here. Let me just speak frankly about how I feel about it. Hollywood is what it is, it's a business and so when these films go to be voted on, usually they're heavily dependent on campaigns.
"There's a lot of campaigning going on and it can be very political. In our case, we suffered from little to no distribution. I don't know what they were afraid of. They didn't want to spend money or they were incapable. We had no campaign to cross over into the mainstream," Redford said during a conference at the Sundance film festival.
