Samuel L. Jackson Says Being Nominated For An Oscar Is Not Good Enough

Actor Samuel L. Jackson is not here for people who claim that “it’s just an honor to be nominated” for an Oscar.

He told AP Entertainment,

“No, it ain’t. It’s an honor to win.”

Despite his illustrious career, Jackson has only been nominated for one Oscar. This was for Best Supporting Actor in 1995 for “Pulp Fiction.” Therefore, he knows that being nominated holds no weight.

“You get nominated, and folks go, ‘Yeah, I remember that.’ Or most people forget. Generally it’s a contest you didn’t volunteer to be in. I didn’t go in there, so I could flex. ‘Let me do my scene so you can remember who I was.’ They nominate you, and people go, ‘What is that movie you’re nominated for? What’s the name of that thing?’ And after it’s over and, people have a hard time remembering who even won.”

Is this movie icon speaking facts?
