.Samuel L. Jackson is speaking out about another missed opportunity he had at winning an Oscar for one of his early films.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Samuel L. Jackson told The Times last year that he deserved to win the Oscar for best supporting actor over Martin Landau (“Ed Wood”) at the 1995 Academy Awards. In a new interview with Vulture, the actor said he was robbed of a second chance to win an Oscar just a couple years later with Joel Schumacher’s 1996 legal drama “A Time to Kill,” co-starring Matthew McConaughey and Sandra Bullock. The John Grisham adaptation starred Jackson as a man on trial in Mississippi for killing the two men who raped his daughter. “In ‘A Time to Kill,’ when 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 — that I will do anything to protect her,” Jackson said. “That’s 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, ‘What the fuck?'”

During an appearance on the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast (via BBC), Holland said he realized he might have an alcohol problem after having “a very, very boozy” Christmas time. The holiday prompted him to try dry January. “All I could think about was having a drink. It really scared me,” Holland said about going sober for one month. “I just was like, ‘Wow, maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing.'” Holland’s realization made him want to try staying sober for another month. He felt that he could prove to himself that he didn’t have a problem with alcohol if he stayed sober for two months. However, he struggled with England’s drinking culture.
