As fans already know, Eminem won an Oscar for Best Original Song for 8 Mile‘s “Lose Yourself” at the 2002 ceremony.

“I was sleeping that night, I just felt like I had no chance of winning because when I heard I was nominated, I thought that was for actors,” he explained years later of missing the show when he won.

“I just didn’t know what awards meant. This particular award, I didn’t go…I just felt like I had a snowball’s chance in Hell.”
