The year Jackson was nominated, Martin Landau won for Ed Woord (Apollo 13 hadn't come out yet.)
http://imdb.com/Sections/Awards/Academy_Awards_USA/1995 Best Actor in a Supporting Role Winner: Ed Wood (1994) - Martin Landau Other Nominees: Bullets Over Broadway (1994) - Chazz Palminteri Forrest Gump (1994) - Gary Sinise Pulp Fiction (1994) - Samuel L. Jackson Quiz Show (1994) - Paul Scofield (I)
-- Gary Sinise probably would have won over Jackson that year too.
And Ed Harris only got nominated the following year (Keyser Soze got it).
