Charlize Theron is wishing one actress took home a golden statuette for their work.

“We knew each other kind of offhand, but I knew her from being a massive fan, just watching her work and always wanted to do something with her,” Theron said. “Because when I came into the action world, she was really, to me, like, the sensei. She was the OG.”

Jimmy Kimmel added, “I agree. She should have won the Academy Award for Kill Bill, right?”
Theron responded, “A hundred percent. I think men get a lot of credit for these movies.”
“What she did in that film was just so unbelievable. And to me, she’s just such a badass,” the Mad Max: Fury Road actress continued. “Since I’ve been in action movies, I’m like, ‘Who do I want to like work with and do an action sequence with?’ It’s always been Uma Thurman. Always.”
Theron then explained why she was nervous to work with the Pulp Fiction star. “I was definitely intimidated by her especially when she showed up and she was given one sword and we had worked out this whole sequence and she went, ‘I think I want two swords,’” the actress said.
Theron won her best actress Oscar in 2004 for Monster and was nominated in 2006 for North Country and in 2020 for Bombshell. For Thurman’s part, she received a nom for Pulp Fiction in 1995, but lost to Jessica Lange.
