Samuel L. Jackson is looking at the Academy Awards with a fresh perspective.

Jackson, 75, did not mince words when sharing his thoughts about the coveted gong, saying Oscar nominations don’t mean much to him.

β€œWe’ve been in the business long enough to know that when folks go, β€˜It’s just an honor to be nominated.’ No, it ain’t,” Jackson told theΒ Associated Press in a joint interview withΒ his β€œThe Piano Lesson” co-star Michael Potts.

β€œIt’s an honor to win,” the β€œPulp Fiction” actor said, adding that most people ultimately forget Oscar-nominated performances. @APEntertainment/X

β€œIt’s an honor to win,” the β€œPulp Fiction” actor said, adding that most people ultimately forget Oscar-nominated performances.

β€œYou get nominated and folks go, β€˜Yeah I remember that.’ Or most people forget,” he quipped.

The β€œUnbreakable” actor was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category at the 1995 Oscars for his role as Jules Winnfield inΒ Quentin Tarantino’s β€œPulp Fiction.”

He ultimately lost out to Martin Landau for his role as Ed Wood in the 1994 film of the same name.

Jackson believed that he would’ve won an Oscar for his role in Joel Schumacher’s β€œA Time To Kill” if his memorable scenes hadn’t been cut from the final version.

β€œThe things they took out kept me from getting an Oscar,” Jackson told old Vulture in 2023. β€œReally, motherf–kers? You just took that s–t from me?”

After years of being without the coveted award, Jackson was finally given the Honorary Academy Award in 2021, and was recognized as a β€œcultural icon” by the Academy. AP

β€œMy first day working on that film, I did a speech in a room with an actor and the whole f–king set was in tears when I finished. I was like,Β β€˜Okay. I’m on the right page.’ That shit is not in the movie! And I know why it’s not. Because it wasn’t my movie, and they weren’t trying to make me a star.”

β€œGenerally it’s a contest you didn’t volunteer to be in,” he said of award ceremonies. β€œI didn’t go in there so I could flex. β€˜Let me do my scene, so you can remember who I was.’”

β€œThey nominate you and people go, β€˜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,” the β€œSnakes on a Plane” actor added.

Jackson starred as Jedi Master Mace Windu in George Lucas’s β€œStar Wars II: Attack of the Clones.” AP

The β€œStar Wars” actor also told Vulture that his 2021 Oscar β€œdidn’t feel honorary” and instead it β€œjust felt like I was getting an Oscar.”

β€œI earned it. I worked for it,” he told the outlet. β€œI can possibly name four other instances where I could have won or should have won or should have been nominated, but I’m fine with it. It’s mine. I got it. My name’s on it.”
