As the year is gradually drawing to its end, the movies are fighting against each other to stand a chance to win an Oscar along with the other awards, thus leading to a popular word coinage as the "Oscar bait."

However, one Hollywood actor doesn't seem to be much impressed or excited about the "Oscar bait." He is none other than Samuel L Jackson. According to the actor, he is not much enthused by the movie awards as he thinks these does not appeal to him at the personal level.

"The politics of what happens during this time of year is very interesting in Hollywood. The movies they choose to say are amazing and great, you know --- 'Manchester by the Sea,' oh my god, you must see it, it's an amazing film!' But, ehh, I guess it is --- to somebody." Said Jackson.

Jackson also feels that movies like Manchester By The Sea or Moonlight fail to generate ethnic and cross-cultural appeal.

"It's not an inclusive film, you know what I mean? And I'm sure that 'Moonlight' will be thought of the same way. They'll say, 'Well, that's a black movie. Where are the white people?' We'll say the same thing about 'Manchester by the Sea." Jackson added further.
