New York - 22 October 2024
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Potts, actor (L) and Samuel L. Jackson, actor - on if they feel the Oscar buzz surrounding the film:
Jackson: "Don't feel it. And even when it happens, you don't feel it unless people are asking you to come to different kinds of events, you know, and deal with and talk to. We've been in the business long enough to know that, you know, the folks who go, 'Well, it's just an honor to be nominated' -- no it aint. It's an honor to win. You know, you get nominated, folks go, 'Yeah, yeah, I remember that.' Most people forget, you know."
Potts: "They only remember the winner."
Jackson: "And generally it's a contest you didn't volunteer to be in, you know. I didn't go in there so I could flex like 'Well, wait a minute. Let me do my scene then! Hold up! Make sure you remember who I was.' They nominate you and folks go, 'What is that, what is that movie they nominated for? What's the name of that thing?' You know? And then after it's over, people have a hard time remembering who even won."
