He said, ‘I wouldn’t mind winning another Oscar. Even one of those sentimental ones for being a pain in the (expletive) for so long.”
Nicholson is presenting a prize at the prestigious Los Angeles ceremony on Sunday. He admittedly loves to use the Oscars to hit on beautiful women.
“What can I say. I’m an Oscar man. What are you going to do, not enjoy the beauties in the room?” Nicholson said.
The veteran star said he was nearly blinded by photographers’ flashes when he attended his first ever Academy Awards in 1970 where he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for ‘Easy Rider.’
He told the USA Today newspaper, ‘There were so many of them, it blinded you. I just stood there, trying to count them all. And I thought, ‘Jesus, I’m really here. I really made it.’ “
