In addition, “The idea of winning means that you’re in competition with someone, and I’m not in competition with anybody,” he continued. “I just stick to my guns and do what I want to do. Sometimes people don’t like it, but that’s alright.”
Johnny Depp has been nominated in the past for several of his acting performances including the 2004’s Finding Neverland, 2007’sSweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and the initial Pirates of the Caribbean film, which was released in 2003.
“They gave me one of those things, like a nomination, two or three times,” Depp added. “A nomination is plenty.”
