Scene of the Week : Pulp Fiction

Have not seen Ed Wood but I doubt Martin Landau was half as good as Sameul Jackson.

“Marking his only Oscar nomination to date, Jackson lost the golden statuette in 1995 to Martin Landau who won Best Actor in a Supporting Role for playing Bela Lugosi in “Ed Wood.” But Jackson’s disappointment over the loss isn’t necessarily news: If you were watching his reaction closely as the award was announced — by a young Anna Paquin, mind you — you saw his mouth form what appeared to be the word “sh–”

“I really don’t know many people who can not only remember ‘Ed Wood’ but remember what Martin Landau did in it,” Jackson told Deadline about his disappointment over losing his only shot thus far at the prestigious acting award.

And to state the obvious, that was the year he was nominated for arguably his most famous role — the oddly philosophical, tough-as-nails hit man Jules Winnfield in Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” “You know they were saying ‘Martin’s been nominated a few times and you’re going to be around for a while. Don’t worry.’ I was thinking I didn’t know it was a thing where if you get nominated for a few times you automatically get one. I thought it was supposed to be about impact.”
