'Like Riding a Bike': Oscar Nominee Ethan Hawke on the Magic of 'Blue Moon'
Hawke's decade-long preparation and Linklater collaboration culminate in a role requiring intense dialogue and transformation, earning his fifth Oscar nomination.
- In awards-season news, Ethan Hawke earned an Oscar nomination for best actor for portraying Lorenz Hart in Blue Moon, scheduled for March 15 in Hollywood.

- Hawke called the experience `mysterious`, and the nomination builds on his earlier recognition and last year’s announcement of a 10th feature with Linklater.
- Set almost entirely in a Broadway-restaurant bar during the Oklahoma! premiere, Hart revisits his souring collaboration with Rodgers and his lonely, alcoholic decline.
