Samuel L. Jackson takes a shot at the Academy Awards after Oscars snub
✖ Samuel L. Jackson took a shot at The Academy Awards after that snub so long ago. Fans will recall that the beloved actor has only been nominated for the Oscars once, back in 1995 for Pulp Fiction. In a recent interview with The Times, he seemed to think that was a shame and a lot of The Academy's problems were of their own making. As they scramble to bring the 94th edition of the show together, there have been difficulties securing a host.
"My wife and I went to see 'Bugsy,'" Jackson explained."Damn! They got nominated and I didn't? I guess Black folk usually win for doing despicable shit on screen. Like Denzel [Washington] for being a horrible cop in 'Training Day.' All the great stuff he did in uplifting roles like 'Malcolm X?' No — we'll give it to this motherfucker. So maybe I should have won one.
Then, turning his attention to the Tom Holland vehicle that premiered last year."They should have an Oscar for the most popular movie. Because that's what the business is about," Jackson said about No Way Home, which absolutely rocked the box office."It did what movies did forever — it got people to a big dark room."
"All movies are valid," the star added."Some go to the cinema to be moved dearly. Some like superheroes. If somebody has more butts on seats it just means your audience is not as broad. There are people who have had successful careers but nobody can recite one line of their parts. I'm the guy who says shit that's on a T-shirt."
