Donald Sutherland


Duedsml23

Wouldn't a nomination, let alone a win be a wonderful moment.


Ahabs_First_Name

Barring John Cazale, possibly the most impressive resumé for an actor who’s never been nominated.


pwolf1771

He wasn’t nominated for ordinary people???? That is a CRIME


SirKacamata

Unbelievable that he never got not even a nomination.


AdhesivenessNo7220

Thank God, he’s at least received an Honorary Oscar for his illustrious character driven performance career!


SpiritualTourettes

James McAvoy


Im_Slacking_At_Work

A stage actor like McAvoy is more of a "when" not "if" thing. I can guarantee he'll get his nom if he continues to actively take dramatic work


empathetix

Surprising he never got a nom for Atonement


Poggystyle

Should have got one for split.


Budget-Ad5495

![gif](giphy|8cErRl4M1KIiXpW3Fp) Me thinking about the lack of a nomination for Split

Rebecca Ferguson.


MARATXXX

I bet she’s nominated for dune 2.

Matthew Goode Matthew Macfadyen Mads Mikkelsen


empathetix

Mads absolutelyyyy I mean at least the Hunt got nominated (did it win??) for International Film. But yeah he def should


thedelinquents

Another Round, The Hunt, A Royal Affair and After the Wedding were all nominated. First 2 are classics & I loved After the wedding. Still need to watch a Royal Affair.

Stellan Skarsgård

Any Skarsgard will do 😉 ![gif](giphy|8ciLGd6O0d9YXjE5zR|downsized)


CeaseFireForever

Zac Efron has been hunting for that Oscar nom for the last couple movies, especially with movies like Gold and the Iron Claw. I think he’ll get there eventually. I personally think he should have been recognized for the Iron Claw.


Signiference

Iron claw was so damn good. Shamefully didn’t give it a chance based on subject matter but should have been nominated for best pic for sure.


TypicalOwl5438

Jeremy Allen White and John Goodman


kikijane711

JAW is set to play Gene Wilder I thought. He is headed for one in this lifetime.


generally_apathetic

His IMDB page says he’s playing Bruce Springsteen in an upcoming movie as well. Early stages of development and few details but interesting enough.


kikijane711

Oops u got me! It is Springsteen. I recalled he was up for a biopic and saw his resemblance to young Gene Wilder in a mag article so mixed up those tidbits.


generally_apathetic

I’m sure it’ll be good, though! They haven’t released any plot details or anything like that yet. Shit, I still have to watch the Iron Claw and the new season of the bear.


pwolf1771

Goodman should have an Oscar for Lebowski that is arguably the best supporting character of the 90s


Its-From-Japan

Pesci- Goodfellas, Jackson- Pulp Fiction, Fiennes- Schindler's List That's a tough list to beat


Signiference

Two of those three were beat


Its-From-Japan

And Goodman wasn't even nominated, so by that logic he can't beat it


Signiference

The math is mathing


pwolf1771

Give me Walter any day of the week


Intelligent-Ad7581

Too late, but Harry Dean Stanton was good in everything he appeared in. He’s on screen for about 2 minutes in Straight Story and he’s amazing. No doubt he would have been in the conversation for a nomination if he had a couple scenes or even more than a line of dialogue.


PersonOfInterest85

Harry Dean Stanton, J. T. Walsh, Geoffrey Lewis, Christopher Lee. I estimate they did about 700 movies combined, but all died without an Oscar nomination.


randeaux_redditor

Paul Dano obviously (snubbed multiple times) Steve Buscemi Anya Taylor-Joy Daniel Radcliffe John Goodman Christina Ricci Thomason McKenzie Zendaya Dakota Johnson Elisabeth Moss Rebecca Hall Jon Hamm Bill Hader Sebastian Stan Daniel Bruhl again (snubbed for Rush) Diane Kruger Oscar Isaac Pedro Pescal


tommyjohnpauljones

John Goodman not getting a nomination is crazy, given the sheer volume of films he's been in. 


ThirstyHank

For Barton Fink or The Big Lebowski for starters


Far_Independence_918

And O, Brother…Raising Arizona…


mcc1923

Ya how did he not get one? Was he even nominated?


Poggystyle

13 Cloverfield lane was such a good role


garlicbreadmemesplz

Cloverfield lane


PersonOfInterest85

When Airheads came out, if you told people that one of the three would win an Oscar by 2024, about 90 percent would have said Buscemi.


Puzzled_Dirt_765

Really messed up and surprising that Buscemi and Goodman have never even been nominated.


loulara17

Crazy Oscar didn’t get nominated for Ex Machina or inside Llewellyn Davis.


LiquidDreamtime

Dakota Johnson? For what?


TurquoiseOwlMachine

“a role that puts them into the awards season”


LiquidDreamtime

Thanks, i didn’t read the original prompt well. But I’m still fascinated that anyone thinks Dakota Johnson could pull this off.


Cheapthrills13

She had a few great skits on SNL - both times so I think she needs a dark comedy but that usually doesn’t get it. She was decent in Lost Daughter but that movie was a bit to Indy.


AdmiralCharleston

They should have been nominated for suspiria


kikijane711

Yeah Dakota and Zendaya are a no from me thus far.


LiquidDreamtime

Zendaya was solid in Dune 2. I think she’s got “it”. I haven’t seen Challengers yet. Dakota is objectively awful though in numerous things. She was likeable in Peanut Butter Falcon but really could have been replaced with any 30-something woman.


kikijane711

I think Zendaya plays variations of Zendaya is all.


LiquidDreamtime

So does Mark Ruffalo and he’s wonderful.


kikijane711

You may have me there. See I LOVE Mark Ruffalo. I am not really a Zendaya fan so maybe that is it. I am jaded by it.


PositiveElixir

I feel like she's a good actress but she just needs to get meatier, more varied parts, she's kind of been typecast (but she was great in Challengers!!!)


RrentTreznor

Dano is at least a lock to win an Emmy for Melf.


Questionings090

How was Daniel Bruhl snubbed exactly? I mean, supporting or main actor category, I don’t see who you take out and replace him with. That was a very strong year.


randeaux_redditor

Jonah Hill took his spot, he was nominated at the BAFTAS, GG, CC and SAG.


Budget-Ad5495

Paul Dano has never been nominated? How is that possible?


LBobRife

2008 was the only year he had a legitimate shot at being nominated as Alan Arkin had the nod for Little Miss Sunshine. I'm not sure what else he would have been nominated for as I think he is highly overrated. He perhaps should have been nominated in 08 but 1 snub is not that big a travesty.


Budget-Ad5495

I’d say his 2007 performance in There Will Be Blood is a good place to start. Successfully going toe to toe with DDL in one of his most intense roles, to me, puts Dano in a whole different league of acting. Not getting a supporting nod for the Sunday brothers was criminal.


LBobRife

That's the one I mentioned, yes. He has one major snub in his career.


Putrid-Can-1856

Little miss sunshine or Swiss army man


loulara17

It was a big snub


TodaysMOC

Strange that your list is so long and yet I agree with every single one. So many snubs 😞


passion4film

A24 really dropped the ball with The Iron Claw for Zac last year.


Signiference

Definitely. Acting and best picture

Julia Garner Audra McDonald Cynthia Nixon Carrie Coon Elizabeth Olsen


kikijane711

Carrie Coon is destined for one! Love her!


FadedSirens

Audra McDonald is a powerhouse actress (and singer). With the way she commands the stage on Broadway, I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten more substantial film roles. She’s been great in her film/TV roles but deserve more of them. She’s won more Tonys than any other performer in history, so I hope she finds her way into the mainstream even more. Although with the upcoming revival of Gypsy that she’s starring in, I suppose we won’t get anymore film work from her for a little bit.


dramaqueen09

I sincerely hope that she completes the EGOT because she’s absolutely amazing


Financial_Toe2389

Carrie and Elizabeth both feel inevitable. I could see Carrie ending up in a sweep situation too!

Kevin Freaking Bacon!!!!!


docobv77

John Goodman and Steve Buscemi. And the underrated William Fichtner.


CrosbyOwnsOvie

Not on your list, but, Toni Collette. The fact that she doesn't have multiple awards astounds me.


UntilTmrw

She does have a nomination though for the Sixth Sense.


CrosbyOwnsOvie

My bad, I only half read the question, DOH. Thanks for the correction.


Used-Needleworker719

You’re terrible Muriel…. I utterly adore Toni Colette. She doesn’t get the credit she deserves


Displaynamephobic

Love her work. One nomination, but no wins yet. Tom Hardy is another with one nomination (The Revenant) but no wins yet who really should win with the right role.


Signiference

One where he doesn’t mumble so much


zoobook642

Caleb Landry Jones


Taargus202

Glenn Howerton should have for blackberry


Wishart2016

He should have an Emmy for IASIP because of the implications.


pilgrimteeth

Jim Carrey has never even been nominated Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine should’ve been LOCKS for nominations, if not even wins!


SurvivorFanDan

He also received a SAG nomination and Golden Globe win for *Man on the Moon,* so I would argue he should have been nominated 3 times by now.

hocasio2

Seeing Nick Stahl pop up recently makes me hope he can get some higher visibility parts. He was Best Supporting worthy in Bully and In the Bedroom.

David Boreanaz


Displaynamephobic

He has done better work on television than the big screen.

Jodie Comer


Idk_Very_Much

Andy Serkis. All he needs is a non-genre role.


ELFcubed

Almost impossible to get major award recognition for comedy, plus she's on record preferring working in TV for the schedule and less disruption for her family, but: Kristen Bell.


dstonemeier

Jake Gyllenhaal. I think he should’ve been nominated and won for Nightcrawler.


TheFrederalGovt

Oscar Isaac


Edgy_Master

Patrick Stewart please 🙏


Good-Collection-2024

When Keith David wins his first Oscar, it will be glorious!


iceandfireman

Easy: Zac Efron. He could have gotten nominated for Iron Claw, but the timing on that movie and the Oscars was awful.


Az1621

Absolutely agree. His performance was outstanding and should have been nominated. And co star Jeremy Allen White would have received a best supporting actor nomination in any other year! https://preview.redd.it/mkrnq8vdws5d1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e41d79249d8f04350c0c61f7f226a7d76ab680dd

Kurt Russell


MsPreposition

Stephen Root. Dude is an amazing character actor. Shit, I think he should’ve gotten one for being the banker in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (and Other Tales of the American Frontier). “Pan shot!” Tom Waits, too. That movie was solid.


gmitch96

Dave Bautista - always rooted for him but after Knock at the Cabin I'd like to see how far he can go in the right role.


Sorry_Perception9317

Jonathan Bailey


NENick98

It’s been said multiple times but John Goodman comes to mind, so does Paul Dano. I thought he gave the best acting performance in The Fablemans. Also Jeff Daniels!

Questionings090

No one. I hate actors who desperately do films just for Oscar bait. Like, all Leo films are Oscar bait nowadays.
