Oscars a 'danger' to Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix refuses to allow the Oscars to dictate what movie roles he chooses to take.

The actor, who is tipped for an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of singer Johnny Cash in biopic Walk The Line, says an Oscar is "obviously a great honour" but remains sceptical after witnessing the disappointment of a friend who "did a f**king spectacular job" but missed out on a nomination.
