Awards Chatter
Listen to in-depth conversations with the most interesting and accomplished people in show business
The Snub I Can’t Get Past
“Pulp Fiction I felt was one of the biggest snubs, only because I was about to go to college at that time and 90 percent of the people in film school [were there] because of Pulp Fiction. But I know the movies that really change things aren’t always rewarded or recognized at that moment because it’s just too soon. I think Quentin Tarantino changed the landscape and changed a whole generation of filmmakers.”
Jon M. Chu on Pulp Fiction Losing Best Picture to Forrest Gump in 1995
Chu is the director of Crazy Rich Asians, Step Up 2: The Streets and Universal Pictures’ upcoming adaptation of Wicked 🡭. Despite missing out on Oscar’s top prize, Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction did win best original screenplay and became a cultural mainstay.
