So I’ll tell you, for about fifteen years, from 1999 to 2014 when I put the beverage down, I was bitter.”

This is kind of hilarious knowing that he had already won an Oscar when this happened, won another one two years later, and was nominated again in 2014.

Not to mention he's had three more Oscar noms after his post bitter period.

But I can still feel the frustration for not being properly recognized for good work tbh. No matter how many times he’s won. Hollywood kisses many peoples asses who are less deserving. He’s actually an actor who does deserve all the ass kissing because he’s damn good at what he does.

Same lol but I also took it as what sparked the bitterness was to know S won despite what was quietly being passed around about him and said in Hollywood.

I mean, if it was me, he would habe also won for Malcolm X and Flight.

Lowkey should've won for Tragedy of Macbeth (although I would've been fine with Andrew winning also)
