If you are nominated for an OSCAR and lose, you get a $50,000 consolation price. So it's more than just an honor to be nominated.
Actor James Cromwell has revealed he was paid just $50,000 (£36,000) for his Oscar-nominated performance in Babe.
Cromwell, 80, starred as Farmer Hoggett in the 1995 adaptation of Dick King Smith’s children’s book, about a pig who wants to work as a sheepdog.
The movie was a box office hit, grossing over $254 million (£187m) at the global box office and receiving seven Oscar nominations, including Best Supporting Actor for Cromwell.
