Two problems in this comments section: 1. People suggesting Leo when the the title CLEARLY says "Actors not NOMINATED for an Oscar" (Now he is also not qualified for "Actors who have never won an Oscar" anymore) 2. People criticizing Marilyn Monroe without knowing that the film industry never took her seriously because of her looks. Lee Strasberg considered her his second-best student at Actors Studio, so she clearly had potentials

[@Kevin-rg3yc]

StrasbergProtégé exactly and with Marilyn she mainly pioneered a new acting technique with female film stars. She combined comedy, method acting and sexuality that actresses like Julia Roberts, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence, and Angelina Jolie

[@almanook3005]

I read quite a while back, that Strasberg proclaimed her the greatest living actress after watching her perform at The Actors Studio. And director, Billy Wilder said she was greater than Garbo. Olivier didn't like her. Part of it was that she wouldn't bow down to him, so to speak. You see, at that period of time, he was considered the greatest actor of all time, so why didn't Monroe treat him like the acting God; as he was widely revered.

Leo should be nominated

+JPproductions32 I'm not sure about No. 1, but it's a crime that he won the best actor (drama) at the golden globes for the Truman Show and wasn't even nominated. He won the DRAMA actor award! Not the comedy/musical bullshit, yet not even a nomination by the academy. To be honest though it's hard to believe the Truman show didn't win more of everything. While we're on the Truman show; what about Peter Weir the director? I mean the academy loves giving sympathy awards, but the director who restarted the Australian film industry (Mad Max would not have happened without him) with picnic at hanging rock, and went on to do Dead Poets Society AND the Truman show doesn't get anything? I mean he's honestly the most overlooked director, and now his career's wound down so he can't get nominated! Sorry this reply started about Jim Carrey and turned into something else, just got me annoyed as an Australian. Really, before Peter Weir directed picnic at hanging rock in '73, an Australian film being good or existing at all was ridiculously uncommon. And we were the first country to make a proper feature length film (about Ned Kelly if you want to look it up), yet we don't get much mention in film history. Apart from actors we don't get much attention from the academy. But I'm still going to keep my fingers crossed for Fury Road and George Miller, to at least sweep the technical awards next week, really it should get best picture or director. By the way Braveheart doesn't count as an Aussie director (unless we feel like saying Mel Gibson is Australian in a desperate attempt to have some kind of Oscar's pride, but honestly nobody wants him now). Again sorry I had to ramble and rage off topic (kind of), I had to vent those thoughts some time.

Also how did Martin Sheen not get nominated for Apocalypse Now?

[@colliric]

Brando didn't even nominated for that film either....

[@WinstonAug]

The horror....

[@decderbyshire1145]

If I’m correct it is because he was nominated but Martin decided the nomination so they replaced it with another actor.

[@MiaBostic]

John Goodman has definitely been snubbed. Hopefully his time will come and he gets nominated.

[@mrkelso]

+Mia Bostic Everybody agrees, he's practically beloved, but he's stuck in the damned comedy-doesn't-get-nominated trap.

[@danielkinsey1069]

+Mia Bostic Alan Rickman and Christopher Lee were too. They were the perfect choices for all of the characters in their movies. Now they will never get one.

[@corygoodrich7242]

Sam Rockwell finally got his nomination and win this year for 3 Billboards, and he absolutely deserved it. His performance was outstanding

[@MuhammadAliFaraz]

Give Steve Buscemi an Oscar already!!!

[@FehadBilgramiChannel1]

Christopher Lee should have had an Oscar nod for Jinnah

[@soberchimera61]

Where is Patrick Stewart?!?!?!

[@shugaroony]

I like Stewart but I can't say he's ever stood out in any of his films. I've seen him do great tv work and of course on stage, but in film has he ever been superb enough to deem supposedly worthy of a nomination?

[@andypham1451]

Hope Logan can get him one. He's amazing in that. Not just as Professor X, but it's best performance to date in his entire career

[@GiacoC]

Stewart is theatre royalty. One of the biggest diamonds of theatrical history of humankind. Movies cant compare to his theatrical career ..sadly

[@spacemonkey95]

I think he lives in Los Angeles.

John Goodman was AMAZING in 10 Cloverfield Lane

[@SOak145]

He was very good in it. Wasn't good enough for an Oscar nomination though realistically. Think it was Golden Globes worthy though.

[@niklasj.rosenberg3419]

John Goodman was spectacular in Barton Fink. "I'll show you the life of the mind!"

[@rodcrippler]

Goodman definitely deserves a couple of noms.

[@Saintrebelusmc]

Val Kilmer. He was to Doc Holiday what Heather Ledger was to The Joker

[@franzantu7816]

Very under-rated comment my friend, you should have at least 5 thousand likes! I feel Val Kilmer should have won the Oscar for his portrayal of Jim Morrison

Rickman, Monroe, Johansson, Buscemi, Rockwell, Carrey, Bacon, Sutherland, Goodman . . . Whenever I think of Goodman I think "O, Brother Where Art Thou?" Peter Lorre! My gawd, I love that guy. I think Johansson should have got the Oscar for that one line in the MCU movie----the one where she says "She's not alone." All of these actors. So much talent, so little recognition. But we know, don't we?

[@adagiobreeze8493]

Jamie Lee Curtis, Steve Martin, Mathew Broderick, Wesley Snipes

[@marypeyton2461]

How Kevin Bacon never ran for best actor in “Murder In The First” was ridiculous!!! He should of won too!!! Also Robert Shaw was never nominated for best supporting actor in “Jaws” and he made that movie great!!!

[@SOak145]

Been looking for this comment, Robert Shaw in Jaws still sends shivers down by spine. Incredible performance, just simply incredible. Kevin Bacon should have got an Oscar nomination for The Woodsman, criminally underrated performance.

[@ImperfectChic]

Clancy Brown! An underrated gem!

[@simonneal8316]

Well, Johansen doesn't deserve a nomination and Alan Rickman should've made a top, not an honorable mentions list, just like Sam Rockwell

[@azrex8]

Long live Allen Rickman. That man is a legend.

[@kazabushy]

Alan Rickman should be in the list and both he and Ewan McGregor bloody deserve Oscars. So does Sam Neill, and Hugo Weaving. John Travolta, Eric Bana , Sean Bean, Viggo Mortensen and the incredibly talented Michael Gambon deserve recognition too. At the very least, nominations.

Can’t believe you mentioned Goodman and Buscemi but left out Turturro. He also deserves more love.

[@CraigJordanLA]

Glad you included Kevin Bacon, albeit for “honorable mention “. I would’ve also included Jamie Lee Curtis. Her most notable roles are either comedy or horror, which is prob why she’s never gotten the Oscar nom. Maybe if she gets a good dramatic role?

[@EdgeOspina]

She only starred in one major film, but I truly believe that Björk got robbed big time. Her performance in Dancer in the Dark is absolutely beautiful.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

I agree; she should have been nominated for Dancer In The Dark. Instead, we got swanned!! 😮
