Top 10 Female Actors NEVER Oscar-Nominated!

[@Weezing336]

Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. It doesn't even feel like a performance, in the best way possible.

[@DeltaSixDJ]

Every time I watch it I'm blown away - you can read her character's every emotional shift in her face and body language, and her growing distrust (and the back and forth of suspicion and denial) of those around her... it just all feels like it's happening in real time and it's so good. The movie wouldn't work without her.

While watching the vid, I was thinking ‘I have to comment Claire Danes and Rebecca Hall’. So glad you included them both!

[@heymistercarter.]

With Demi Moore in The Substance, I feel like, if she doesn’t get in at the Oscars this year, it’ll at least give her a major career comeback that’ll open many doors for her. It could do for her what Hereditary did for Toni Collette, in a way.

[@inkladizzable]

Why is Christina Ricci always left out of these conversations? She would be right up there for me. I think she should've gotten best supporting for Monster and lead for Black Snake Moan.

[@DeltaSixDJ]

She was excellent in The Opposite of Sex too. But missing for Monster was a great shame.

[@nancyboucher4014]

[@orangefreak0514]

She MAKES monster for me. Without her, Theron’s performance doesn’t have the weight it did.

I mean even Charlize Theron in her Oscar speech acknowledged her as the film’s “unsung hero”. Her performance in “The Opposite Of Sex” is one of my favorites of all time. Such a mean nasty character, but you still end up loving her. One of the biggest Oscar snubs of all time.

[@carissagreen9595]

Those preview shots of Conclave really show how much Rossellini resembles her mother in her later years.

[@fallenhero3130]

Cameron Diaz really steals the show in MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING. I know it's rare to get a Supporting Actress nom for a comedy, but I think you could make a strong argument for her in that movie.

[@syria0110]

Rebecca Hall (and a few other actresses on the list) reminds me a lot of Paul Dano. They both have had great performances in critically acclaimed films, but their co-stars get recognition from the Academy and win. They are two people where you assume they've been nominated before and shocked when you realize they haven't.

[@bryanalstoncoxing]

Yeah going all the way back to Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Rebecca was great but always got overshadowed in the cast (Penelope won, Javier Bardem was fresh off of an Oscar win, Scarlett got more screen time and was a sex symbol). Heck, Rebecca wasn’t even on the poster of the movie whereas the other three were

[@joshuasmith1680]

Claire Danes was so great in the HBO movie Temple Grandin. I'm glad she got an Emmy for that. I'd love to see her get an Oscar nom someday.

[@fallenhero3130]

Completely agree with you about Jennifer Lopez. I think she started out as a really good actress in her early career (gave an Oscar-worthy performance in SELENA). But around 1999-2000, when she blew up as a sex symbol and icon, her output all declined.

[@maqclark]

Agreed. She clearly was more concerned with building her brand than putting out high-quality performances.

[@fallenhero3130]

As much as I absolutely love GHOST, I can’t really say Demi Moore gives an Oscar-worthy performance. She’s good, but is upstaged by most of the other characters.

[@addwong]

Zhang Ziyi for Memoirs of a Geisha got the SAG, BAFTA and Golden Globe nomination, but eventually missed out at the Oscars in 2006. Still baffles me till today. Her body of work is astounding, from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (BAFTA & Indie Spirit nominated) to House of Flying Daggers (BAFTA nominated), Hero, The Banquet, 2046 and The Grandmaster.

[@DeltaSixDJ]

Zhang Ziyi would have been an excellent entry on this list. She should have a minimum of two nominations (CTHD + Memoirs) but as Parasite demonstrated, there's still a long way to go with Asian actors being recognised adequately at the Oscars. Some steps forward in recent years but still a ways to go. Zhang Ziyi is an absolute powerhouse.

[@SlenWash]

Agreed 100%. She is a truly underrated and underappreciated actress.

[@unorodriguez]

Talking about single performance that should have been nominated is Drew Barrymore for Scream. She opened that movie with a bang! I know the Academy is not a fan of slasher film.. but no one can deny how deserving Drew was for her supporting performance from Scream! Hopefully Drew will come back like Jamie Lee Curtis and will make an award winning film because i think Drew Barrymore is well loved and a very talented actress.

[@DeltaSixDJ]

It'll be interesting to see if she decides to take on 'serious' film roles as her role in Grey Gardens demonstrated she has more range than what we've seen. If she had been nominated for Scream, I think that would have aged incredibly well. It's one of the most memorable performances of that year, easily. I actually love when 'short' performances get recognised, for me they are well within scope of what the supporting category is there for - performances that are quality over quantity. Another great slasher performance of that period was Sarah Michelle Gellar in I Know What You Did Last Summer. I wish the film took a different turn, both her character and her performance were superior to anyone else in the film.

[@CrystalWilliamsoncoach]

I was dating a guy who insisted we see HUSTLERS. I reluctantly accepted - yes I didn't want to see a movie about strippers. But I changed my mind when I saw the film! The entire cast was sooooooooo good!! I also agree with you about Tessa, Pam, and Rebecca.

[@frederickseltzerjr2170]

Please wear more blue shirts, particularly this shade. You look GOOD and it goes with your beautiful eyes! xo So glad I found your channel. The deli scene from "When Harry Met Sally" should have earned her an Oscar all by itself. Personal note ... I'm from Baltimore and was serving in the US Navy as a journalist when they were making "Sleepless In Seattle" and one of my fellow sailors interviewed Nora Ephron while they were shooting the scenes in Seattle and I saw how they shot the scene of the boat "sailing" across the water while "Over The Rainbow" is playing.

Mia Wasikowska? I know she is still young, but she's insanely talented and underrated. And, like Rebecca Hall, most of her work is in independent films (with the exception of ‘Crimson peak’ and the ‘Alice in wonderland’ movies, the latter of which is clearly not Oscar caliber😂)

[@duanein3d]

Zoe Saldana is one of my favorite actresses and I think her talent is underrated (I know her commercial success is untouched). I’m not sure she’s had many shots at this kind of award, though I do think like Andy Serkis, she could’ve been nominated for Avatar - one of my favorite performances ever. I know she’s getting buzz this year for Emilia Perez but I think her nomination is coming ❤

[@patrarus6097]

Thanks for another excellent segment, Brian. I also liked Rebecca in "The Gift," one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@Jamal3.87]

I think Jennifer Lopez missed for Hustlers for two reasons: first, the role of Ramona was not out of her depths as an actress even though it was a good performance. The character is villainous but also glamorous, which is Jennifer Lopez in real life. Second, I think it’s her off screen personal life. The media’s obsession with her love life encumbers her fellow actors from taking her seriously. That’s not her fault necessarily but it’s clear that her fame takes precedence over her quality as an actor.

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

True, she is currently suffering a great dip in her popularity. It seems people don't like her persona.

Besides Selena, Out of Sight and Hustlers she was fantastic in The Cell (2000), Angel Eyes (2001), An Unfinished Life (2005), Bordertown (2007). I'd mention Gillian Anderson, Ashley Judd and Sophie Marceau too. I even think MADONNA showed phenomenal Oscar-worthy acting in Dangerous Game (1993) & Evita (1996) despite not being a good actress overall

[@robgronotte1]

I've never been that impressed by the acting of Demi Moore or Jennifer Lopez.

[@willnoiles2001]

The one actress that would have been on my list is Jacqueline Bisset. The closest she’s gotten is a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for Dancing on the Edge.’ In the last couple of years she’s won a number of film festival awards for ‘Loren and Rose,’ but she has been in so many that deserved at least a nomination, including ‘Under the Volcano’ (1985, directed by John Huston and opposite Albert Finney; was nominated at the Golden Globes), The Sleepy Time Gal’ (2003, got a Clotrudis Award nomination for Best Actress) or her work in ‘Death in Love’ (2008, won at Boston Film Festival for Best Actress). Like Rebecca Hall, she appears in a number of indies so I kinda understand why she hasn’t been nominated, but even when it’s a more promoted, awards-worthy film like ‘Under the Volcano,’ only the Golden Globes noticed. Then again, it was also the Golden Globes that awarded the correct Best Actress in 1974 (Gena Rowlands for ‘A Woman Under the Influence’)-sorry, just had to get that in there…😄

[@huguihugh9803]

Unfortunately Bisset work is more on TV and European Cinema than in Hollywood films. Maybe one day she could have a Charlotte Rampling role. But Bissett, Sonia Braga and Geraldine Chaplin, hadnt received great roles in Hollywood Films (not TV) in the past 30 years!!!

[@brettdarling1178]

Jane Horrocks, for Little Voice! She got in at Golden Globes, SAG and BAFTA. She sings, she dances, she’s funny, she’s dramatic, this movie was definitely loved and watched this year, the snub is astonishing. This would have been an Absolutely Fabulous, Oscar nomination.

[@raywallacefan7786]

Great pun! "Bubble" nominated for an Academy Award. I'd like to live in that parallel universe.

[@navidhudson7065]

The snub isn't so bothersome considering the stellar best actress lineup that year. Fernanda Montenegro was probably the one who took her spot and she was truly deserving. Little Voice only got that one nomination for Brenda Blethyn.

[@Philip-de-la-Torre-Senior]

Marilyn Monroe for "Bus Stop". Her omission from the Oscars that year for either actress or supporting actress is one of the acting community's biggest blunders and a very narrow minded omission. Her role in "Some Like It Hot" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" should have, at the very least, been up for consideration. She was, among other things, a great comedic actress. And then there was "The Misfits". She held her own in that movie.

[@tomgabbutt3066]

Here! Here! MM's performance in Bus Stop is still modern, fresh and she brings such depth to what could have been a very shallow role - ahead of her time in so many ways!

[@philipharville]

• Rene Russo should've absolutely gotten in. Her or Chastain in A Most Violent Year should've gotten that fifth slot. Laura Dern in Wild was soo random and unnecessary. But they didn't even nominate Jake! So clearly they had reservations with Nightcrawler... • Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze didn't get the respect they deserved for Ghost! The Substance is absolutely bonnkers and not at all what they typically go for, but depending how the awards season goes, if a nice career honors narrative forms and the film is recognized consistently, it isn't out the realm of possibility. • I thought Jennifer Lopez should've WON for Hustlers. The fact that she missed, and for a mid Kathy Bates performances in a mid Clint Eastwood movie... It really does piss me off. They looked down upon Hustlers for the content even though it was, in my opinion, one of the best films of 2019. • I'm happy Toni Collette got that Oscar nod in 99, but the fact that Cameron Diaz was sixth place TWICE, for Being John Malkovich AND Vanilla Sky... It's truly devastating, lol. • Tessa Thompson will get nominated soon. • Pam Grier being snubbed for Jackie Brown is one of my all-time most hurtful snubs. Such a great film and performance--and it would've been the perfect way to honor her entire career. • Mia Farrow could've gotten in so many times, but Rosemary's Baby is the one she absolutely should've gotten, especially considering Ruth Gordon's win for that film.

[@paulojrneto]

Funny how Jennifer Lopez had quite a handful of reputable film performances before focusing on her music career (Selena, Money Train, U-Turn, Blood And Wine, Out Of Sight, worked with Coppola in Jack) but ever since she only had a remarkable film and/or performance here and there: The Cell, The Wedding Planner, Maid In Manhattan, Shall We Dance, Hustlers.

Jennifer Lopez deserved nods for Selena & Hustlers, Cameron Diaz deserved noms for Being John Malkovich, and I would have loved Mia Farrow to have earned an Oscar nomination for Rosemary's Baby (with Globe & BAFTA noms I still believe she was in 6th place with Patricia Neal beating her out with The Subject Was Roses). Pam Grier deserved an Oscar nomination for Jackie Brown.

She’s my ultimate pick that year as well, and the movie actually suffers from bad reputation for being misty-foggy piece of dull, when in reality, upon a proper rewatch, it’s nothing like that and her character has the most mystique aura and presence.

This person’s career is technically just starting out, but one person I’d love to shout out is Ella Purnell. She hasn’t had too many film performances as of late, and she mostly does TV shows like FALLOUT, ARCANE, and YellowJackets. That said, she’s easily one of the standouts in all of those shows. It was a shock she was snubbed at the Emmys for FALLOUT, and the trailer for her upcoming show SweetPea shows even more of her range. I think, if she lands the right role with the right director, Purnell could very easily make it into the Oscars one year.

[@ailurovic]

My choice would be Ann Dowd. I think of her as the American Dame Judi Dench, someone who could easily end up having five or six Oscar nods. And yet, she's never been nominated for an Oscar! I mean, I know she mostly works on TV. But have you seen her performances in "Hereditary" and "Mass"? She should have not one but several Oscar nominations by now.

[@gabrielcruz3047]

Marilyn Monroe deserved a nom for at least Some Like It Hot, Doris Day was good but definitely not at the level of the other 4 nominees. Also, she was amazing in Bus Stop and the Misfits. Rita Hayworth was robbed of a nom for Gilda. Jean Harlow did enough good films and performances and in her lifetime was already deserving of a nomination by 1935/1936 (Dinner at Eight, Wife vs Secretary, Libeled Lady). I know that Lucille Ball is usually not a common actress to think of when talking about snubs in Oscar history. Still, she has one performance in 1942 The Big Street that definitely at least came close to an Oscar nomination. Veronica Lake should have gotten an Oscar nomination in Best Supporting Actress for So Proudly We Hail. Ann Sheridan is also the best-supporting actress for The Man Who Came to Dinner, Kathleen Byron in Black Narcissus, Linda Darnell's A Letter Two Three Wives, and Barbara Leigh Hunt In Frenzy all in Best Supporting Actress, also some of those years could have definitely accepted them as nominees cause they weren't solid (1949, for instance, was a major weak year overall).

Greta Lee should have been nominated for Past Lives and Janelle Monáe for Glass Onion last year and the year before respectively. Kim Novak and Tippi Hedren could have been nominated for their respective Hitchcock films and there is an alternate universe where Madonna got her Evita nomination! Eva Green is one of the finest actresses of the last twenty years and I'd love to see Lily James net a nomination one of these days.

Thandiwe Newton should have been nominated for Besieged (1998); I would also include these actresses: Maggie Cheung : 'In the Mood for Love' (2000); 'Center Stage' (1991); 'Clean' (2004); 'Comrades: Almost a Love Story' (1996) '2046' (2004); Kate Beckinsale: 'Love & Friendship' (2016); Alison Elliott: 'The Spitfire Grill' (1996) 'The Wings of the Dove' (1997); Gong Li: 'Raise the Red Lantern' (1991); 'Memoirs of a Geisha'(2005); 'Farewell My Concubine' (1993); 'Coming Home' (2014); 'To Live' (1994); 'The Story of Qiu Ju' (1992) 'Ju Dou' (1990); Audrey Tautou: 'Amélie' (2001); 'A Very Long Engagement' (2004); CCH Pounder: Out of Rosenheim/Bagdad Café (1987); Judy Parfitt: 'Dolores Claiborne' (1995); Marília Pêra: 'Pixote' (1980); 'Central Station' (1998); Franka Potente: 'Run Lola Run' (1998); Christina Ricci: 'Addams Family Values' (1993); Mia Goth: 'Pearl' (2022); Rebecca Romijn: 'Femme Fatale' (2002); Kathy Baker: 'Edward Scissorhands' (1990); Zhang Ziyi: 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' (2000); 'House of Flying Daggers' (2004); 'Memoirs of a Geisha' (2005 ); '2046' (2004); Hayley Mills: 'Tiger Bay' (1959); 'The Parent Trap' (1961); 'The Family Way' (1966); 'Twisted Nerve' (1968); Eileen Atkins for everything she does

Lopez ruined her chances decades ago with her ish talk and rudeness

[@mouhamadeldarwich]

I would add Alison Lohman in a supporting role in Matchstick Men

[@carissagreen9595]

If the movie would have done better box office, that would have been more likely. In the pre-streaming era, it basically tanked.

[@DeltaSixDJ]

She retired from acting hence not eligible for this video (she's now an acting teacher/coach, which I imagine she is superb at) but I would love for her to make a full comeback because she was very good in what she did. She carried Drag Me To Hell. She's good value on Twitter as well, often enjoying banter about the various indignities her character in that film endures and the stunts she did :)

Do Directors Never Nominated

[@gabbyb7347]

That Rebecca Hall Golden Globe nomination for Vicky Cristina Barcelona is one of my favorites ❤❤❤❤

[@ad-sd-vids5332]

Here’s an idea- talk about the Least popular acting nominations of each decade 30s- Gladys George Valiant is the word for Carrie 40s- Dan Dailey when my baby smiles at me 50s- Mickey Rooney the bold and the brave 60s- Nick adams twilight of honor 70s- Glenda Jackson Hedda 80s- Norma Aleandro Gaby a true story 90s- Miranda Richardson and rosemary Harris Tom and viv 00s- Annette benning being julia 10s- Demian bichir a better life

[@huguihugh9803]

I love Richardson and Harris in Tom and Viv. Both deserved more the Oscar than the winners. They are my winners I also like Aleandro. Ok was more an achievement award. But there were much worse nomination and wins from that decafe

[@CecilioBarrantes]

Uma Thurman in nymphomanic, what an incredible performance!

[@johnmoreland6089]

Fun, well-thought out list! I especially agree about Russo in Night Crawler. Sorry, Meryl, you may have been one of the few highlights of the dreadful Into the Woods, but it wasn't Oscar worthy that year. And, of course, Pam Grier. Both she and Jackson deserved nominations for Jackie Brown. I haven't seen Hustlers or Passing. Going to have to check them both out. Thanks!

[@FantasticBeasts2024]

Emma Watson Shailene Woodley Miriam Margolyes Fiona Shaw Christine Baranski

[@keshavchunylall3867]

Rose Byrne

[@55555gino]

You NAILED that nr 1 spot! But to mention JLo when you have actresses such as Christine Baransky, Sarah Paulson! Margo Martingale, Rose Byrne, Ann Dowd and Martha Plimpton, Kelly Reilly, Mia Goth without an Oscar nom, is laughable LMAO

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

😮

[@richkee2024]

Most of those actresses' chances are undermined by not having big enough roles in the right movies, it's hard to pinpoint the role they should have been nominated for, whereas JLo has lead roles which came close. But I can absolutely see an Alison Janney situation for any of the actresses you mention, where they win on their first nomination because the love is there.
