The best actors who did not receive an "Oscar"

February 28 this year in the bustling American city of Los Angeles was the next Oscar ceremony. It was already the 88th awarding of the main award in the field of cinema, which is traditionally held annually by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts.

Many spectators were pleased when finally everyone loved Leonardo DiCaprio received a well-deserved award for the best male role. It would seem strange, as an actor with so many good works still did not have this honorable award on the shelf. But even more remarkable is the fact that the long-awaited statuette still does not have a significant number of excellent performers of roles. Actors who have not yet received an Oscar are represented in a fairly broad category. Let's try to name the best of this list.

Johnny Depp

All of his roles are filled with a high level of skill. Not at once and you will believe that Johnny Depp is an actor who has never received an Oscar. He is one of the few who can easily try on the most contradictory images, and after all reincarnation is the same talent that distinguishes a good artist from mediocre ones. It is without him that Tim Burton's paintings can not do without .

Johnny Depp is the compassionate Edward Scissorhands, the mysterious Ichabod Crane, the owner of the chocolate factory Willy Wonka, the insane hairdresser Sweeney Todd. And this is not to mention his reincarnation in Captain Jack Sparrow in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", collecting huge fees in the film distribution. Nominated for the award, the actor was already three times, the first time in 2004. But as he himself admits, the lack of a reward does not greatly upset him.

Helena Bonham Carter

This is a British actress, who more than once became Depp's partner. A woman, famous for such interesting reincarnations, similarly replenished the so-called ranks of losers: they include actors who did not receive an Oscar. And it is not clear: why? After all, it's easy to name the list of her most striking roles - each of them is bright and memorable. She can be a fairy fairy from Cinderella, and then turn into the frightening intimidator of death from "Harry Potter".

Helene's reincarnation could also be seen in the Sweeney Todd movie, where, along with Johnny Depp, she played the main character, as well as in the films Fight Club, Les Miserables, Big Fish, Frankenstein, The King Says. The last picture, by the way, brought her a nomination, but her 49-year-old actress could not win. However, she also does not have to worry, because she is the winner in the nomination "Best Actress" of the international Emmy Award.

Jim carrey

It 's simply impossible to not know Jim Carrey . He can be called without a twinge of conscience the king of the comedic genre. However, the "Oscar" to him this non-main title did not bring. The actor himself is of the opinion that the jury does not really like to pamper the award-winning comedic genres, and with them and the merry-go-round artists. This truth does not prevent viewers from time to time to review his famous films: Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty, Mask, Grinch the Thief of Christmas, Always Say Yes and other comedies with Kerry in the title role. In 2004, Jim surprised his fans by starring in the melodrama "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". But alas, and this his role did not delete him from the list called "Great actors who did not receive an Oscar." Only here the less great it does not.

Cameron Diaz

All the tapes in which the amazing Cameron was shot are hard to name at once. The actress has played in 57 films, the most famous of which are: "Exchange holiday", "Other woman", "Vanilla sky", "Charlie's Angels" and "Gangs of New York". Actors like the game, but the jury still does not please the actress even with the Oscar nomination. In 2013, Diaz and shocked all at all, not appearing at the ceremony. But it can be understood, because in the interview, more than once, the accusations that she dreams of the treasured statuette rattled. Apparently, she was already desperate to get it. And, maybe, everything is still ahead ?!

Jennifer Aniston

Another Hollywood beauty for life had never had a single Oscar nomination. Perhaps this is the fault of the same dislike of film critics for comedy films. Jennifer Aniston first became famous in the series "Friends", in which she had one of the main roles. The role of the actress of the comic genre did not let the girl go on throughout her subsequent career. Among the most popular paintings in which the beauty was shot, one can distinguish: "Pretend my wife", "We are Millers", "Cake", "Marley and I", "Imperfect bosses".

The fans can only hope that over time the jury will begin to show interest in comedy films. Although, on the other hand, let Jennifer and belongs to the category where there are actors who did not receive an Oscar. But she has her own star on the "Walk of Fame", as well as a bonus from the MTV channel for a passionate kiss and brilliantly played screen "bastard". Still in her track record - "Golden Globe" and "Emmy" for the best female role. The reserve of awards is quite impressive.

Will Smith

The American actor was nominated for the award twice. It's about the film "Ali" (2001) and "In pursuit of happiness" (2006). Already in the following year, 2007, the tape "I am a legend" was filmed, but even the nomination was not given to the actor this time. And again in a year, already in 2008, for the role in the "Seven Lives" he could receive the coveted award, but again was not nominated.

All these four times were literally promising victory - the roles played brilliantly, all the films aroused great interest of the audience, not without the participation of Smith in it. But even such seemingly win-win scenes did not save 47-year-old Will from getting into the sad list: it shows actors who did not receive an Oscar. Until now, it remains unclear why the film critics never rewarded the artist for his performance: he likes the audience, and for good reason, in 2008, Forbes magazine he was recognized as the highest paid actor.

Tom Cruise

A good artist with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, director, screenwriter and a handsome beauty is all about Tom Cruise. In addition to external charm, he is known for roles in such film masterpieces as "Magnolia", "Jerry Maguire" and "Born on the Fourth of July". By the way, it was for the roles in them that he was nominated three times for the "Oscar" for the best man's role.

The hopes of the army of fans have not been crowned with success, since Cruz today still refers to a galaxy of stars, in which there are actors who have not received an Oscar. The photo of this Hollywood handsome man, however, makes it clear that this does not make him very sad. Blockbusters "Mission Impossible" brought him such huge profits that now he tries himself as a director. So who knows, maybe he will receive an Oscar, but already as the best filmmaker.

Other best actors who did not receive an Oscar

In fact, the list of genius actors who are without this American award is quite wide. There are among them such great actresses as Sigourney Weaver, and in fact she always conveyed the depth of emotions of her heroines. That's why she was invited to appear only in the best films: "Avatar", "Aliens", "Chasing", "Again you", "The hut in the forest". And even Briton Richard Burton got on this list: he has as many as 7 nominations and not one victory. But in the 60s he was the highest paid actor, recognized as the sex symbol of Hollywood. During his long career in film, he managed to play Wagner, the priest, the captain, the colonel and even Henry.

Charming Brad Pitt also can not boast of a prize for the best male role. However, he has an "Oscar" for the film "12 years of slavery", one of the producers of which he is. It would seem that the "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Fight Club" were a good statement to win, but, alas. Actors who did not receive an Oscar will probably never admit how upset they are. This award is a symbol of the golden dreams of actors, but, alas, the jury does not reward everyone. Let's hope that she finds those who really deserve her.
