"We've been in the business long enough to know that when folks go, 'It's just an honor to be nominated.' No, it ain't. It's an honor to win," Jackson asserted, commenting on the perceptions surrounding Oscar nominations.
Reflecting on his Oscar experiences, he mentioned, "You get nominated and folks go, 'Yeah I remember that.' Or most people forget," pointing to the fleeting nature of Oscar recognition.
In a candid recollection about a cut scene from 'A Time To Kill,' Jackson lamented, "The things they took out kept me from getting an Oscar. Really, motherf-kers? You just took that s-t from me?" as an indication of the impact of editing on his chances.
Finally, he acknowledged the eventual recognition, stating, "After years of being without the coveted award, Jackson was finally given the Honorary Academy Award in 2021, and was recognized as a cultural icon by the Academy."
