Samuel L. Jackson Claims Strange Film Editing May Have Cost Him Academy Award Consideration
  • deserve

    Yes, that's a good way to put it. He basically thinks he deserves an award, and the many people who vote for them do not. They could be wrong, they could be biased, there could have been a lot of performances that just barely surpassed him that year, etc etc. But he's not entitled to an award, no one is! And again, I would argue he has been recognized for his work in many ways.

    If you disagree, that's fine, but you shouldn't use straw-man arguments. I had several points in my comment and "he shouldn't want to be recognized" was not one of them.

    Samuel L. Jackson Claims Strange Film Editing May Have Cost Him Academy Award Consideration
  • I love SLJ, but what a (public) temper-tantrum. I realize actors often have unique personalities and that he's earned a lot of his success... But he's also operating at some of the highest levels of privilege, wealth, fame, and adoration. And that's not enough for him...?

    A lot of actors think they have been snubbed by the Academy (some rightly so). But to publicly blame your directors and editors comes across as very whiney and is unprofessional. If he wants control over how something turns out, he should direct something, but currently that's not his job.
