Hollywood star Matt Damon thinks his performance in ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’ was Oscar-worthy and said that it’s only a matter of time before people will start realising that.

Damon, who was overlooked for an Academy Award for the 1999 film, while his co-star Jude Law scooped a nomination, says he deserved an Oscar nomination for his role in the movie.

“I still think the only way to judge a movie is like 10 years down the road, away from all the marketing and the Oscar race and all that bulls**t. And you’re just like, ‘Wait, well, who won it that year?’ I think movies have two lives: the initial hype and then it’s got the library value,� he was quoted as saying.
