Russell Hopes Hudson Wins Oscar

The Associated Press

Kurt Russell is acting like a doting dad.

He's hoping Kate Hudson, daughter of actress Goldie Hawn, will bring home an Oscar for ``Almost Famous.''

``She's the same age as her mom was when she was nominated and Goldie won. It would be a fun night for us if she were to win. And we would have a blast,'' said Russell, Hawn's longtime companion.

Hawn won an Oscar for 1969's ``Cactus Flower.''

Hudson, 21, brought home a Golden Globe earlier this year for her role as free-spirited Penny Lane in ``Almost Famous,'' directed by Cameron Crowe.

``It's a spectacular performance,'' Russell told reporters recently. ``I mean, there's one scene in that movie where as an actor I can tell you the degree of difficulty is as tough as it gets; to cry and laugh and go through eight emotions at one time.''

Russell's new film, ''3000 Miles to Graceland,'' is now in theaters nationwide.

"Crowe was not being rewarded for his performance in Gladiator, but rather his LAC, Insider, and Gladiator put together. Tom Hanks is going to win the oscar next year for Road to Perdition, Sam Mendez is no fluke. If you wanna whine about something winning that didn't deserve it, complain about Gladiator for best picture. Traffic wins oscars for directing, screenplay,and editing, not to mention del toro's for supporting actor and the SAG award for best ensemble. Why vote for Gladiator over Traffic when it wins the other awards? "
