Samuel L. Jackson Reflects on Oscar Nomination: “Winning? Now That’s the Real Honor!”

Buy Me A Coffee

Samuel L. Jackson, the legendary Marvel superstar and unofficial king of cool, is spilling some sizzling tea on the Oscars. At 75, this guy has played more iconic roles than you’ve had hot dinners. But guess what? He’s only snagged one Oscar nomination—back in the glorious year of 1995 for his role in Pulp Fiction. Sure, he snagged an Honorary Academy Award in 2021, but let’s be honest, that’s like getting a participation trophy in a game where you were clearly the MVP.

In a recent interview that had us chuckling, Sam got real about the thrill of the nomination ride, or rather the rollercoaster that doesn’t end in a victory. “You know, when people say, ‘Well, it’s just an honor to be nominated,’ I’m here to tell you: No, it ain’t!” he declared, probably while shaking his head and rolling his eyes. “It’s an honor to win, baby!” He’s absolutely right! No one throws a party for a runner-up in the “Best Snacker” category, do they?

He continued, “You get nominated, and everyone’s like, ‘Yeah, I remember that movie… what was it called again?’ It’s like showing up to a potluck and nobody remembers who brought the potato salad.” And let’s be real, once the awards are handed out, most can’t even recall who walked off with the golden statuette. They’re all too busy trying to remember what they had for breakfast that morning!

Straight from the mouth of the man who has probably saved the universe more times than you can count: being nominated is like being told you’ve been invited to the coolest party, but then you find out it’s just a Zoom meeting with your relatives. Winning? Now that’s the party we all want an invite to!
