Top 10 Actors Who Have Never Been Nominated For An Oscar


winning one of these things is hard
drink that potion and you’ll never grow
even one day older don’t drink it
and continue to watch yourself grow but
it’s straight up impossible when you’re
never even in contention
I shall not submit I shall conquer I
shall rise welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 actors who have never been
nominated for an Oscar I know what
happens in the country I’m from the
country myself
I think kissing boys since I was
knee-high that’s the point for this list
we’ve looked at any actor or actress
regardless of era or genre and have
ranked the most talented never to have
been given an Academy Award nomination
you know you said I had a magical glow
but that’s it’s you you’re the one that
has won number 10 Jeff Daniels well we
can see the Dumb and Dumber isn’t
exactly prime Oscar material for all its
undoubted greatness what’s really stupid
is Jeff Daniels general lack of
nomination you wouldn’t try to look so
innocent unless you were guilty you’re
gonna have to to take my word for it you
you have no other choice his cinematic
breakthrough came in the oscar-winning
terms of endearment although he himself
didn’t receive a nod and he since
collected alternative nominations
throughout his career
Who am I you’ve seen the movie five
times I’m Tom Baxter poet adventurer
explored Chicago Bastion most notably
for 1985’s Purple Rose of Cairo and 1986
is something wild
he was shortlisted for a Best Actor
Golden Globe
number nine John Goodman he needs
somebody who’s uh somebody to put their
name on it somebody respectable with
credits widely respected as one of the
finest most well-rounded actors of his
generation John Goodman’s never quite
been good enough for the Academy well
you know it just feels like one of those
days it starts off with a hearty
breakfast and as with some guy in the
news saying before turning the gun on
himself probably best known for playing
Dan Connor on the TV series Roseanne
Goodman’s big-screen highlights include
roles and Oscar hyped heavyweights the
artist Argo and flight to small whiffs
first one on each side just a little
primer get us started
he’s also often been linked to the Coen
brothers movies and has starred in voice
acting roles for Disney and Pixar what
more does he need to do
look sorry I heard someone say roar so
it just kind of went for it
number eight Steve Buscemi always square
are we square another regular
collaborator with the Coen brothers
though Steve Buscemi often isn’t cast in
a lead role it’s quite incredible that
he’s never made a Supporting Actor
shortlist he played mr. pink in
Reservoir Dogs Seymour in Ghost World
and Carl Showalter in Fargo this is a
joke here for Ghost World in particular
Buscemi seemed to pick up every possible
nomination apart from an Academy Award
Wow what are you hypnotized have some
more kids why don’t you Jesus Christ
move it the guy is a unique talent and
surely it’s about time you got
recognized you know we’re sitting on
four million pounds of fuel one nuclear
weapon and a thing that has 270,000
moving parts they’ll play the lowest
bidder
it should feel good Donna number seven
mia farrow rich girls don’t marry poor
boys Jay Gatsby haven’t you heard
rich girls don’t marry poor boys Mia
Farrow’s filmography reads like a roll
call of Academy favorites and yet she
remains mysteriously underappreciated
what have you done to it what have you
done to his eyes he has his father’s
eyes she was recognized by both the
BAFTAs and the Golden Globes for
Rosemary’s Baby
while roles in The Great Gatsby and
death on the Nile could and probably
should also have gotten her a chance at
the golden statuette you make me sick
go to bed now look Jackie Jackie an
all-round Hollywood icon as well
Farrow is undisputed acting royalty but
there’s a gap on her resume that really
shouldn’t be there you matter to me
completely it’s hard to be around
someone who gives so much and need
something in return
I gotta Norma’s me but I can’t see them
and not even Leo Holling number six Raul
Julia don’t you know what the Nazis did
to people Jews Marxist Catholics
homosexuals a stage vet turned Hollywood
star who was critically acclaimed by
most movie commentators at least Raul
Julia was never able to convince the
Academy so that’s the time
probably best known as lovable scare
stir gomez addams in The Addams Family
and Addams Family Values he also gained
alternative non Oscar nominations for
1985’s kiss of the Spider Woman and the
1994 TV movie the burning season as well
as Adams Julia has also acted as Dracula
on stage and as Victor Frankenstein on
screen perhaps the panel members were
just too petrified to pick him number 5
Martin Sheen huh a bullshit piled up so
fast in Vietnam you needed wings to
stamp of it his back catalogue is hard
to beat and he’s worked with the very
best in the business but still no
nomination for Martin Sheen don’t worry
now I’m gonna get y’all fees charges
there’s a whole lot of other boys out
there waiting for you you gonna have a
lot of fun badlands Apocalypse Now The
Departed when you mugs got a light
where’s your boy he studying war wife’s
name and boy write the list of great
films in which he’s featured is
phenomenal Steven Spielberg has directed
him Martin Scorsese Francis Ford Coppola
and Richard Attenborough yeah
I’m adding one play me and Gandy yeah
but none could land him acknowledgement
from the Academy the shunning of Sheen
remains one of modern cinemas great
mysteries it’s always same question boy
album what else can you do if they fight
we must fight with number four Jim
Carrey goodbye the second half of the
Dumb and Dumber double act like Jeff
Daniels Jim Carrey really should have
won himself a nomination by now a comedy
legend the star of Ace Ventura and Bruce
Almighty has way more strings to his bow
than just being funny I want you to
decide what’s right for me I surrender
to you well in particular Carrie’s roles
in The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine
of the spotless mind earned him masses
of critical acclaim be different if we
could just give it another go around
remember me try your best
and yet he’s never even had a chance to
get his hands on an Oscar like a much
loved character of his we just can’t lie
it’s a travesty degenerate number three
Marilyn Monroe I wonder if you’d buy me
a drink
I’m so dry I’m spittin cock
she was the epitome of the Hollywood
lifestyle and an all-out fashion icon
but she never stood a chance of scoring
the industry’s greatest accessory
best friend Marilyn Monroe start and
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes but the Academy
preferred other actors baby I’m through
with love some like it hot earned her a
Golden Globe but the Academy didn’t like
it enough shortlisted for more Globes
and twice by BAFTA Monroe rewrote the
rules of cinema but couldn’t crack its
supreme accolade do you get the breeze
from the subway
number two Christopher Lee I could have
shot you down when you landed but that
would have been ridiculously easy
the first Christopher Lee film was
released in 1948 the last in 2015
he has over 250 acting credits to his
name collected across a career spanning
seven decades the power of Isengard is a
duo
come on Saul he was a knight of the
British Empire and a recipient of the
BAFTA fellowship Lifetime Achievement
Award but not a single Oscar nomination
was ever his
probably best known for playing the
villain the real bad guys in the
otherwise much celebrated Christopher
Lee story are surely the Academy before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions to sleep at home
tonight mr. Collins has been gulled
will sleep soundly if not they will
arrest the cabinet the public outcry
will be deafening maybe then the world
will listen I’m talking myself on a
regular basis so time to go home you
know what I mean
she was life she was a job choose a
career choose a family choose a big
television
if you lost the key have to chop off my
hand you can just cut the chain okay
please number one Donald Sutherland what
work I’m in and hidden it’s time to
appreciate the most underappreciated
actor out there Donald Sutherland is a
cinematic legend according to literally
everybody except the Oscar shortlist
selection panel oh I’d like to say a lot
of my father by good Sutherland made a
name for himself in the early 70s with
films such as mash Kelly’s heroes and
the eagle has landed my fight is with a
bloody British Empire I’ll fight it on
my own two feet
while he’s well known to 21st century
audiences because of roles in Cold
Mountain and The Hunger Games franchise
but above all you need to be madly
prepared to end it all in love I think
you can manage that
an actor always at the top of his game
he not only deserves an Oscar nomination
he deserves to win one will you play me
something something peaceful while I
look over my sermon it’s too damn fatty
you should come inside
do you agree with our list which
overlooked actor did we overlook and in
to search your offices mr. Spade I want
if you attempt to prevent me actually
certainly shoot you for more top 10s
