NEW: @RealJamesWoods tells @megynkelly how he chose to remain “invisible” during promotion of ‘Oppenheimer’ as to not affect the film’s success: “There was a discussion about my Twitter, and it was gently suggested that I basically remain invisible. Which was painful.” Woods took one for the team: WOODS: “It’s really funny when Oppenheimer came out, there was a discussion about my Twitter, and it was gently suggested that I basically remain invisible. Which was painful.

On the other hand, I’m a pragmatic person, and I saw a lot of people put their effort into this. So I’m just going to be an invisible pariah because the people who are going to be voting for Oscars, which is very important for a film to get Oscars, because it does help with the financial reward, and the historical archive even, which will rest forever. ‘Academy Award winning best picture, Oppenheimer.’ You know, I don’t want to deprive those people. I don’t want to have some nutcase come out of the woodwork, fabricate some ridiculous story about me.

I’ve had a million of them said they’re all lies. I don’t want that to happen and have the clickbait story be a ‘James Woods is the executive producer of Oppenheimer, we’re not gonna watch that movie.” So, you know, I just I stepped back and basically, you know, took one for the team and just you wouldn’t even know. I wasn’t even invited to the Producers Guild Award. I’m a producer on the picture, and I was not invited to go to the Producers Guild Award, which is fine awards by the way, it won. It’s not that environment — was not the one that my father shed blood for.”
