Samuel L. Jackson this week claimed that scenes edited out of his 1996 drama “A Time to Kill” kept him from getting an Academy Award.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“In\u00a0\u2018A Time to Kill,\u2019\u00a0when I kill those guys, I kill them because my daughter needs to know that those guys are not on the planet anymore, and they will never hurt her again \u2014 that I will do anything to protect her,” the 74-year-old actor told Vulture in an interview published Thursday about his character, Carl Lee Hailey, who was put on trial in the movie for killing two racist men who raped his 10-year-old daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added, “That\u2019s how I played that character throughout. And there were specific things we shot, things I did to make sure that she understood that, but in the editing process, they got taken out. And it looked like I killed those dudes and then planned every move to make sure that I was going to get away with it. When I saw it, I was sitting there like,\u00a0\u2018What the f—?\u2019<\/p>\n

Jackson had been asked about movies he\u2019d been in that didn\u2019t turn out the way he\u2019d imagined.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But also the things they took out kept me from getting an Oscar,” he said.\u00a0“\u2019Really, motherf—–? You just took that s— from me?\u2019”<\/p>\n

The “Secret Invasion” actor said on his first day working on the movie he did a speech with another actor that left the entire room in tears.<\/p>\n

“I was like,\u00a0\u2018Okay. I\u2019m on the right page.\u2019\u00a0That s— is not in the movie! And I know why it\u2019s not. Because it wasn\u2019t my movie, and they weren\u2019t trying to make me a star. That was one of the first times that I saw that s— happen.”<\/p>\n

He said he\u2019s also had moments in other movies where he wondered why scenes were edited out “because the moment, in that movie, it\u2019s bigger than the movie.”<\/p>\n

Jackson has never won an Oscar for a film and has only been nominated once \u2014 for 1994\u2019s “Pulp Fiction.” He did receive an honorary Academy Award in 2021 for his work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked about the honorary Academy Award he said it, “didn\u2019t feel honorary, just felt like I was getting an Oscar. I earned it. I worked for it. I can possibly name four other instances where I could have won or should have won or should have been nominated, but I\u2019m fine with it. It\u2019s mine. I got it. My name\u2019s on it.”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the wide-ranging interview, Jackson talked about falling out with director Spike Lee<\/a> over 1992\u2019s “Malcolm X” and eventually working with him again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I actually read with most of the people who auditioned for\u00a0\u2018Malcolm X,\u2019” he said. “I was supposed to be the guy that turned Malcolm X on to Islam in prison.\u00a0I forget\u00a0who played that role.\u00a0But it was still down to that Spike Lee\u00a0scale-plus-10\u00a0salary thing. I was like, \u2018I\u2019m not going to work for no scale-plus-10.\u2019”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He and Lee had previously worked together on\u00a0“Jungle Fever,” “School Daze” and “Do the Right Thing.”<\/p>\n

He said he eventually took another movie called “White Sands” in 1992, but the pair reunited in 2013 for his movie “Oldboy.” Jackson told Playboy that year it was\u00a0“just like we\u2019d never stopped.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jackson also answered “no comment” when asked if he was going to be in frequent collaborator Quentin Tarantino\u2019s<\/a> upcoming and rumored last film “The Movie Critic.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
