He'll say it if he wants to I guess. It could be anything. Maybe he doesn't want his work to be dictated by a reward, like if he lost that it'd change his style, or if he won he'd be afraid to change it. Or maybe he has a good friend in the running he doesn't want to compete with, I don't think it is anything bad about the awards themselves, cause trust me, if he was trying to make a political statement about it, he certainly would be causing more fuss then just a quiet exit.
It's a curious question, probably with an uninteresting answer.
EDIT: Guess I was wrong, it was actually quite an interesting answer.
