The list of actors who have never received an Oscar can be very long. But surprisingly, many stars of world importance will enter it, which almost every year participate in highly artistic and commercially successful film projects. However, they did not receive the statuettes of the American Film Academy once.
Great actors who did not receive an Oscar
Among the male actors, the golden boy of Hollywood, who has long been transformed into an adult male and a world-size star, Leonardo DiCaprio, immediately comes to mind. He is removed almost from childhood, and the nomination for the statuette Oscar receives with an enviable regularity, but the jury again and again passes by the most talented works of the actor, among them "Titanic", "Aviator", "The Wolf from Wall Street". This year, Leo again tries to storm the not yet achievable summit with the film "Survivor" directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inyarritu.
Johnny Depp is another famous actor who did not receive an Oscar. By now, the charming and versatile Depp was nominated for the highest cinematographic award three times, including one time for the role that brought him the most fame in the world - Captain Jack Sparrow ("The Curse of the Black Pearl"). Other successful pictures of the actor, marked by nominations, were "Sweeney Todd, Demon Barber of Fleet Street" and "The Magic Country." But all these roles also could not bring Johnny Depp to the treasured statuette, although he himself in one of the interviews said that the reward for him is not the main thing, the main thing is that he has a high-quality work and viewers' opinion, and they are delighted with every new role charming actor.
Among the famous actors who have not received an Oscar until now, one can notice one of the veterans of the world blockbusters Tom Cruise . In his arsenal are three nominations for this prestigious award (1990 - "Born on July Fourth", 1997 - "Jerry Maguire", 2000 - "Magnolia"), but never he became a winner.
Jim Carrey is undoubtedly a talented and bright actor who also belongs to the list of celebrities who did not receive an Oscar. He himself says this, that the jury of film awards in general is strange about the actors who became famous in the comedy genre. In themselves, comedies are rarely awarded, like the stars that have played in them, but it is worthwhile for the actor to try to change the role to a more serious role (as Jim himself did in the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"), heightened demands and looking for unsuccessful moments in it.
Robert Downey, Jr. was also not awarded the prestigious award. In his film career there were two nominations for the Oscar statuette, but none brought him to the number of prize-winners. But his most vivid and memorable role - Tony Stark-Iron Man - was completely ignored by the jury.
Also among the best actors who did not receive an Oscar, there is Edward Norton . He was also nominated twice, but both times the reward went out of his hands.
To the actors, who never received an Oscar, but earned world fame, is Will Smith . In his film career a lot of bright roles in completely different and different from each other genres, but, unfortunately, none of them was awarded the highest award of the film academy.
Which actresses have not received an Oscar ever?
Among the actresses are also many who have never been awarded a prestigious award.
Helena Bonham Carter - a bright British actress who has long won the audience with her acting talent and skillful choice of roles, has not received a prestigious award so far.
Another example is Jennifer Aniston . Starting her career with serials, she was able to grow to roles in a big movie, but still has not received the attention of the jury academy.
It is also called Cameron Diaz . With her participation, new projects are published every year, both in comedy and in other genres, but she also never received Oscar.
