HOLLYWOOD, Calif--There may be a little golden statue waiting for Keanu Reeves after his latest riveting performance in the noir action film "Constantine."
"It's awesome," Jordan Tinsdale, 17, said of Reeves' performance. "His face doesn't move at all for, like, the whole movie!"
Widespread rumors that Reeves had massive Botox performed on his face to dull his nerves to give the Oscar-worthy performance as Best Actor in a Facially Dead Performance have been categorically denied by Reeves's publicist, Paula Cornerworth.
"Keanu has never had Botox and never will," Cornerworth said Friday. "Keanu's acting talent is all his own. He doesn't need any botulism to spice up his acting chops. Not one drop."
The NAACP has been applauding the film for the casting of African American actor Djimon Hounsou as Papa Midnite in "Constantine." The NAACP said it does not find the character name Papa Midnite offensive "at all." They applauded the naming of characters to reflect the character's non-white identity and said adding nicknames like "Papa" or "Big Daddy" or "Pimp" before the character names would be moves in the "right direction."
If Reeves wins it will be his fifth win for Best Actor in Facially Dead Performance.
"I am very pleased to have my work recognized like this," Reeves said through his publicist. "It just goes to show that all of those acting lessons have truly paid off."
