MNC w/ Samuel L. Jackson--"best actor to never win an oscar?

[InsurrectionStudios]

Caveman's Valentine was a better homeless man role for him.

[miharbi0109]

wtf? 240 is muthafucking HD!!

[Arcixil]

Jackson is alright as an actor but if anyone deserves an oscar it's Gary Oldman; most underrated actor around, his range is incredible .

[Quita801]

NiiiiiCE!!!

[REAPERofJUSTICE]

Many good actors out there these days.. but I'd love to see Mr. S.L. Jackson be given the credit he deserves for his outstanding ability

SAM L JACKSON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

[KevinRuzHerrera]

"where did you get this?" Me: youtube..

[SteyFoz]

"does he look like a bitch?!!!!!!!!"

[HaloedG]

Samuel L. Jackson will win when he plays a role where he doesn't lose his temper.

[DJICECHOLATE]

Wow his the gta sa frank tenpenny nice :)

[AppleAssassin]

His hairdresser?.....He has no hair.....

[shaggy2dope150]

he should of won an award for "best villan" in lakeview terrence but my respects still go to heath ledger for winning it;)

[pedalla]

what this man did in pulp fiction in that room when reciting ezekiel 25:17, no today's popular actors could ever done it that good...

sam rocks

[Voutshy]

@pedalla love this scene !

[jw13303]

SAM FOR PRESIDENT!!

[wvtothemax]

dumb bitch

[oviedol55]

It was a shame that he didn't get nominated for his role as The Champ. Meanwhile, Hal Holbrook is in 15 minutes of Into the Wild (which got snubbed for a best picture nomination IMO) and he gets nominated. Jackson's definitely one of the best to never win an Oscar.

[Whyavier]

This was a good movie that must have been poorly marketed. Sam Jackson had a great performance.

[houston81]

Superb actor! I am pissed he hasnt won! The only reason is because of dipshits like will smith.

[PaTudie]

I LOVE this man.  He can do comedy to villians. Great actor

[iydssystole101]

TSISA your under accusations of murder strategies because of those who poisoned me and allowed me to die here for years.

[specialk8010cp]

they should make a movie where the only actor is samuel l jack son. like eddie murphy did except samuel l jackson woukdnt wear any costumes or make up. the only differences in characters would be clothes, and if he is playing a grl he would talk in a higher voice. he is in basically every movie ever made, so its only a matter of time

[lilmarzet]

i like to call people like you "toilet-heads"

[aydoooo]

Nah "shit-face" sounds better.

[brianmf08]

Quincey Morgan

[anon2999]

great actor and it is nice that he hasn't just let himself be typecast and kept doing new things.

[BascomeTP]

Clint Eastwood, nuff sed.

Don't bring up his director Oscars we are talking actor here.

[pf243]

this man has played in most of the best movies out there, hes the best actor EVER and the man aint NEVA WON AN OSCAR, WAT THA FUCKK???!!!

its crazyy... he a real OG for sho an deserves sum credit

[Itrashyourshittyvids]

I agree, but learn how to spell you fucking dumbass porchmonkey.

[pf243]

ok...an how does the insult help?? anyway u must hav issues.

good day!

[RobinHood252]

Well you were talking really black.....

[pf243]

(sigh) another racist....oh well! who cares..

[RobinHood252]

Racist? lmao! I get called a racist because you talked like a idiot.

Hm.... What is this world coming to?

[cmheadrick]

"Campy" is the only word I can think of. His acting is amateurish at best. It's like he's trying too hard instead of being a natural. It's not about hating, it's about objective criticism. In short, critically, I think he sucks.

[LordBicen]

Opinions Vary, and are like assholes: everyone seems to have one. SLJ is a damned good actor, and is very gracious to his fans, unlike some others. His performance in Lakeview Terrace was awesome! and deserves an Oscar for it, Maybe even an Academy award.

[Jamzy92]

Samuel L Jackson is one of the best actors ever. Period. Fuck all the haters man, i'd love to see them try and do better.

[mybnz190]

Fuk yall haters... Samuel J is one of the most talented and OG actors left in Hollywood

[gourmet3310]

most rubbish and ugly actor in hollywood

[ajsox23]

he is the greatest actor....if you dont like him fuck you

[JohnnyMacisBac]

Best actor ever, end of story. The only competition he would have would be Sir Ben Kingsley

[n8swartz22]

hes not even slightly good at acting, always acts as some stupid old black man with attitude

[Fugziz]

What the hell are you talking about? he is one of the best actors ever?

[rangedkid]

You're an idiot. He is one of the best actors of all time.

[snoop42uzerwq]

i agree.. he is really unique and convincing.. just a great actor

[GamerCall]

yes but not so good

[fuxup21]

Can't wait until this guy brings home a Gold Statue, his day is coming.

[step1970]

Awesome actor. I was yet fan but I saw the movie yesterday, it was brilliant.

[aliquippawill]

Mr.Jackson is, quite simply, my favorite Actor of all-time. Sam is truly unique in the fact that most actors who produce as much product as he does, the films have a tendency to "run-in" to each other, thereby diluting the quality, somewhat, of the performances. Sam somehow manages to bring a fresh creativeness & perspectiveness to each role he performs, making it quite difficult to ever tire of his "Greatness". Can one truly take the "Oscars" seriously, with Sam NOT a member of the club?

[Joel139]

Samuel L. Jackson is going to turn 60 this year. Doesn't he look 45 in this movie? How come black people can look so much younger than they really are? It must be an illusion because of the pigmentation, they certainly don't live longer than white people...I think.

[Conscious]

melanin

[thebigkahoouna]

Ah come on people. - Everyone knows that

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a far better actor

than this impostor! - "Snakes On A Plane"?!

"Die Hard With A Vengeance"?! Oh pl-ease!

- I truly hope I pissed somebody off!

[KillAnimals]

i think you've failed to see pulp fiction, that alone should alow him an oscar passage.

[wafflesandbeer]

I agree with you completely. This guy needs to watch Pulp Fiction and study the role of Jules Winnfield.

[dolaishiphop]

lol arnold scharzenega the robot lol I dont think you pissed anybody off with that comment

[Triguld]

He should win 1, i find him 1 of the top 10 best actors in the world

[TASADNESS]

Samuel is the best actor besides De Niro, Al Pacino, Cage .. Those actors have something special that can never be described properly.

[blacktreemedia]

Tasadness- Pacino won for 'Scent of A Woman', Deniro won for 'Godfather' & 'Raging Bull', i don't think Cage has one, but I may be wrong.

[pegasusreturns]

Cage won one for "leaving Las Vegas"

[blacktreemedia]

(pegasus) sure did, i was trying to think of what movie he coulda won for, and for some reason I forgot all about leaving LV. Thanks for the clarification.

[SpringSauce23]

im gonna hafta disagree with you on nicolas cage, he's been in 1 movie ive seen that i've liked him and it wasn't even for his acting, Raising Arizona... i want to see Leaving Las Vegas, but i just can't stand him that much i never found him to be that great... my favorite actors are Steve Buscemi, Kevin Spacey and Daniel Day-lewis

[Playgat]

@TASADNESS Cage? CAGE? No.

[aloofbooks]

I would say that Samuel Jackson is one of the most powerful acotrs out there.

Only Morgan Freeman and possibly Terrance Howard )is better among Black actors

[Ponchochickendoc]

Denzel Washington? Don Cheadle?

[crazycoolone]

Honestly, there are MANY Black actors (male & female) who have YET to be discovered in Hollywood. Why? Just look at the number of roles available for a Black actor. You'll have an entire show with no Black actors in key roles. Even T.V. now is snot diverse like in the 80's. #1 Show in the 80's, Miami Vice; you had White, Black, Latino, throughout the primary cast let alone the supporting actors. Now, most shows may have a token person of color and then there are none.

[SpringSauce23]

CSI, house, ER, scrubs, whose line is it anyway, the office... just some all over the board that have african american actors ;]

[crazycoolone]

For the most part, yes, those were TV shows that do have Black characters. I never said that shows don't have any. However, you must look at the prominence of 'Sex In The City' (of NYC???), Desperate H.W. eventually casted A. Woodard...eventually. Now Lipstick Jungle. This is not only me, pal, actresses of color have been citing this for YEARS. Look at Halle Berry's Academy Award acceptance speech. She didn't say that for nothing.

[SpringSauce23]

heh, ya but i take pride in not watching those stupid shows anyway haha

[crazycoolone]

I'm kind of liking you already!

[TexasBst75]

I like him especially when he get mad while acting and his voice gets high. Cracks me up.

[easmachine]

Samuel L is entertaining but he's not in the same league as Morgan Freeman, Lawrence Fishburne or even Denzel, who is inconsistent but very watchable. Associating with Quentin Tarrantino turned him into a clown for years.

[crazycoolone]

The Academy Award is really political. Some people say things that made the committee angry regarding Sam Jackson, Pulp Fiction, etc., but I think that Sam really wants to win the Academy now because so many doors are open for Black actors since Denzel won. Since then, Jamie and Forest have won. Cuba won best supporting a few years back, but few people recall that.

[Ponchochickendoc]

You know sidney poitier won years ago(Lilies in the Field, lead), and hattie Mcdaniel was the first black actress to ever win an oscar (Gone with the wind, supporting), and of course Morgan Freeman won, and Halle Barry was the first black woman to win the lead award) but the door has been open.

[crazycoolone]

Of course I know that, but OMG! That was B4 I or most people posting were born. (That's not a door... that's a wormhole into another space & time continuum!!!) The era NOW is more open to Black Academy Award winners. How many YEARS has it been between Sidney & Denzel winning vs. Cuba, Denzel, Jamie & Forrest winning??? That's my point.

[crazycoolone]

Plus, Morgan Freeman won Best Supporting the same year Jamie won so that was within the past 5 years too. OMG, I live FILMS & the industry. Your point is mute when Sidney & Hattie won in a different ERA. Door opening doesn't imply another lifetime, it's about the SAME ERA.

[Ponchochickendoc]

I see what you are saying, but at the same time, women's lib began long, long ago- and the world hasn't been the same since. That was not in this era, but the effect is still here. But I respect your knowledge, don't think I was insulting your intelligence. I am a film fanatic myself, and I have a pretty active career in it.

[crazycoolone]

No problem. You Tube only has caps and no italics for emphasis. :) Let's not forget Louis Gossett Jr. winning Best Supporting in 1983 for 'Officer and a Gentleman'. He was AMAZING in that film, yet he really hasn't received a storm of job offers since of quality material. :( I LOVE Lou Gossett Jr.!

[avtos]

samuel l j is bets black actor after him danzel washington,laurence fishburne and morgan freeman

[cocoa15210]

are you serious??!!! I thought this dude won plenty of oscars!! Thas bs

[crazycoolone]

LOL!!! Wow, you're not informed on what's up with the movies are you? It was a major controversy when he didn't win nor was he nominated for Pulp Fiction. How do you think he would have won when Pulp was his breakout role, cocoa15210??? LOL!!!! Kids, man...

[vonversace]

why is that he has never win an oscar?

[suicidexskeletons]

i reall wanna see this movie so freaking bad! ughhhh.

[DennisMrozek]

awesome actor, should have had an oscar long ago!

[blacktreemedia]

Tyrone?

[alcoholicsanonymou]

say what again, i dare you i double dare you

check out the big brain on brad

[theovi2010]

The Best Actor Oscar will tough to choose for next year.

You have Don Cheadle in Talk to Me, Denzel Washington in American Gangster, Samuel Jackson in Resurrecting the Champ, etc., but I hope Jackson wins it.

[blackenuf4ya]

How did you like each of these movies?

[blacktreemedia]

I don't know, maybe Denzel will get the nod for the Great Debaters. Although I like Samuel L, I will be surprised if he gets the Oscar for this movie, but then again, Oscars are usually given for a body of work. So maybe. Denzel, I don't think he will get it for American Gangster, but he did an excellent job, and again, I will be happy for him if he does. I will see Talk to Me for the 1st time on DVD, but I heard nothing but good things about it.

[blackenuf4ya]

Denzel might get the nod for The Great Debaters, but I don't think he'll get much for American Gangster. I could be wrong though...

You can trust what you've heard about Talk to Me. It's definitely Oscar-worthy!

[Ponchochickendoc]

Sometimes they are given for a body of work, sometimes it is actually for the role though. This year it is pointing toward Daniel Day Lewis because of the preparation that he put into his role in There Will Be Blood(2 years) and his insane ability. The Oscars are political though, there is no doubt about that.

[blacktreemedia]

Thank you for watching, and I like how your channel features movies with Leading Black Characters or themes. Good stuff.

[blackenuf4ya]

Thank you! Right backatcha! :)

[coachbagqueen]

I agree he is a one of the best.

[peterparker18]

cant wait to see this movie.sam is gonna win an oscar for this one.he better.

[Metatronicus]

The art of interviewing.
