Ozzy Osbourne Shares His Oscar Aspirations Amid Health Issues

Ozzy Osbourne wants to accomplish something big amid his health issues.

Over the years, the former Black Sabbath musician has received different awards and recognitions for his contributions to the music industry.

He is also about to receive his second Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. His first one was with Black Sabbath, when the group was honored in 2006.

Ozzy Osbourne Wants to Score an Academy Award

Osbourne discussed his plans and wishes during the latest episode of his SiriusXM series, Ozzy Speaks. In addition to his upcoming induction, he revealed he would like an Academy Award under his name when asked what accolade he has not yet earned but will want to do so in the future.

However, Morrison reminded him that he would need to be in a movie to get the honor.

"You asked me what award I haven't gotten," Osbourne responded, adding, "No, Elton John got one for a song."

John has received two Academy Awards: one in 1994 for his "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" track for The Lion King and the other in 2019 for his Rocketman's "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again."

While the Black Sabbath rocker has an Oscar goal, he also spoke about wanting to do a gig without falling over amid his health issues.

Ozzy Osbourne Reacts to His Solo Rock Hall Induction

While waiting for his time to score an Oscar, Osbourne will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist.

According to Osbourne, he was confident about his solo success.

"With every new music venture, there's always a certain amount of surprise that comes when you see the fans embrace it, because no one wants to make a record and have it flop. I feel like I was invited to a party in 1980, and it hasn't stopped. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band," he told Billboard via email.

Osbourne said his solo induction felt different from when Black Sabbath scored the honor since his solo career has been the larger part of his overall music career.

Interestingly, music was not even the first path he'd thought to pursue. It was recently reported that Osbourne was dead intent on joining the army. As fans know, Black Sabbath are the Godfathers of Metal, and if Osbourne's 1966 application to enlist in the British Army had been approved, Sabbath in their initial incarnation might never have come together.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will induct a total of eight acts from the shortlist alongside Osbourne: Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & the Gang and A Tribe Called Quest.
