LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- If it was up to Matt Damon , he would've had to wait a decade for his Oscar.
"I think that the best way to judge movies is, like, 10 years after they're released," the star told Parade. "I think they should actually do the awards that way. I think they should have done the Academy Awards this year for movies from 1998."

Doing awards the year of, he added, results in some mistakes.
"I don't think - that the awards necessarily get it right. I think they get it wrong more often than they get it right," he said.
Matt won a screenwriting Oscar for 1997's "Good Will Hunting" with Ben Affleck , but he told the mag that fans shouldn't expect another scripted effort from the pair anytime soon.
"We went on vacation together and I guess everybody thought we were writing something, but we were just having fun with our families," he said, adding, "We'll do something eventually."
Another film fans may have to wait for - a fourth Bourne movie.

"We're working on it," Matt said. "This time it would be from an original script rather than a book by Robert Ludlum. But the director, Paul Greengrass, is busy and I am too, so we'll see what happens."
The father of two has had his hands full being a dad when he's not acting - and he admitted that being a parent has changed him.
"I'm probably a lot more boring than I used to be and more tired at night," he said. "When it's bedtime, it's bedtime."
The globetrotting star is currently in South Africa, filming "The Human Factor" with Morgan Freeman and director Clint Eastwood .

pelonDamon's ego & self-adoration is beyond believable. for years he whines and moaned that he wasn't chosen People magazine's "Sexiest Man of the Year" (does he not have a mirror?) until they finally (out of desperation I imagine) they selected him. and now he bemoans that he hasn't won ~ or even been nominated ~ for a Best Actor Oscar. dreport abuseposted March 13, 2009 1:48 PM PDT

marsiThe awards rarely go to the most deserving anyway. The voters just tend to look at "who's due" and who is the most popular at that time. Mr Damon is probably right about waiting ten years if the awards are truly about The Best. It's all just for glitz and show and profits.report abuseposted March 13, 2009 12:12 PM PDT
