Shockingly, Jackson has only earned one Oscar nomination during his illustrious career \u2014 for \u201cPulp Fiction,\u201d which he landed a best supporting actor nod for in 1995. Jackson was awarded an honorary Academy Award in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve been in the business long enough to know that when folks go, \u2018It\u2019s just an honor to be nominated.\u2019 No it ain\u2019t. It\u2019s an honor to win,\u201d Jackson said with a laugh. \u201cYou get nominated and folks go, \u2018Yeah I remember that.\u2019 Or most people forget. Generally it\u2019s a contest you didn\u2019t volunteer to be in. I didn\u2019t go in there so I could flex. \u2018Let me do my scene, so you can remember who I was.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThey nominate you and people go, \u2018What is that movie you\u2019re nominated for? What\u2019s the name of that thing?\u2019 And after it\u2019s over and people have a hard time remembering who even won,\u201d Jackson added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tJackson\u00a0told\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/article\/a0b747ce-93d8-11ec-addf-533e9597e348?shareToken=dedb88950d5d30c04a50a3c922c25b1f\">The Times<\/a>\u00a0in 2022 that he deserved to win the 1995 Oscar for best supporting actor over Martin Landau (\u201cEd Wood\u201d). In an <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/samuel-l-jackson-in-conversation.html\">interview with Vulture<\/a> last year, he added that he was robbed of a second chance to win an Oscar when he didn\u2019t even get nominated for Joel Schumacher\u2019s 1996 legal drama \u201cA Time to Kill.\u201d The <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/oscars\/\" id=\"auto-tag_oscars\" data-tag=\"oscars\">Oscars<\/a> and Jackson have not gone hand-and-hand, which is fine considering he\u2019d rather make billion dollar-grossing Marvel movies than chase down Oscar-friendly roles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI was never going to let the Oscars be a measure of my success or failure as an actor,\u201d Jackson told the Times. \u201cMy yardstick of success is my happiness: Am I satisfied with what I\u2019m doing? I\u2019m not doing statue-chasing movies. You know [whispers]: \u2018If you do this movie, you\u2019ll win an Oscar.\u2019 No, thanks. I\u2019d rather be Nick Fury. Or having fun being Mace Windu with a lightsaber in my hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tJackson said he\u2019s fine with giving up Oscar roles if it means making movies \u201cthat people just want to see so they can get out of themselves,\u201d adding, \u201cThat\u2019s the guy I chose to be and I\u2019m fine with it. I\u2019m satisfied because that\u2019s who I am. I\u2019m the guy who does the lines that people see on T-shirts. There\u2019s actors who go their whole careers and no one can quote a line they\u2019ve said in a movie. People go to watch my movies to see how crazy I\u2019m going to be or see how many times I say motherfucker.
