But there could be still more awards for McConaughey on the horizon as his latest role in Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic Interstellar has generated considerable Oscar buzz.
In the film McConaughey plays a widowed astronaut who ventures into space and through a wormhole in the hope of finding a new home for humanity.

McConaughey said his son asked him what the family would do if a tsunami hit Malibu. “I said, 'We'd get our most-prized possessions: We'd get the dogs, the cat, your sister, your little brother, me and mom and we get out of here as quick as possible, just what we really need,” the actor said. "He goes, 'Well, wait a second. We'd get the Oscar too, right?' Good boy!” McConaughey joked.

The actor also said he’s now beginning to accept that the words "Academy Award winner" often precede his name. Though he did joke that it’s still a pretty long "prequel."
