, Jackson said some tear-jerking scenes that were ultimately cut from the movie “kept [him] from getting an Oscar.”
“That s–t is not in the movie!” he continued. “And I know why it’s not. Because it wasn’t my movie, and they weren’t trying to make me a star. That was one of the first times that I saw that s–t happen. There are things that I’ve done in other movies where I said, ‘Wait a minute. Why did you take that moment out of the movie?’ Because the moment, in that movie, it’s bigger than the movie.”
Samuel L. Jackson claims he would have been an Oscar winner by now if one specific scene had not been cut out from the 1996 film, “A Time to Kill.”Jackson, who eventually received an honorary Academy Award in 2021, elaborated further on the changes that execs made to the film.
