Samuel L. Jackson är ett välkänt namn tack vare sina otaliga oförglömliga roller genom åren, men trots det har skådespelaren aldrig vunnit en Oscar för någon av sina prestationer och har bara nominerats till en Oscar en gång under sin karriär.
När Jackson talade om detta med Los Angeles Times, förklarade han att detta aldrig stört honom, detta eftersom han hellre gör roller han kan ha roligt med:
"As jaded as I wanted to be about it, you know thinking, 'Well, I should have won an Oscar for this or should have won for that and it didn't happen,' once I got over it many years ago, it wasn't a big deal for me. I always have fun going to the Oscars. I always look forward to getting a gift basket for being a presenter. [Laughs] I give stuff to my relatives; my daughter and my wife would take stuff out. It's cool."
Jackson continued, "But otherwise, I was past it. I was never going to let the Oscars be a measure of my success or failure as an actor. My yardstick of success is my happiness: Am I satisfied with what I'm doing? I'm not doing statue-chasing movies. You know [whispers]: 'If you do this movie, you'll win an Oscar.' No, thanks. I'd rather be Nick Fury. Or having fun being Mace Windu with a lightsaber in my hand."
