Famous actors who do not have Oscar (foreign and Russian)

The long-suffering public favorite Leonardo DiCaprio received the cherished "Oscar" from the sixth attempt. However, if you look at the list of relative losers, you can find stars there that deserve recognition not from the first time. So, Sean Penn won his first award with the fourth attempt ("The Mysterious River"), and Juliana Moore - with the fifth ("Still Alice"). Three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep had 17 record nominations in her acting career. At some point the actress was even tired of going to eternal nominees.

In this publication, we will talk in detail about the performers who are not respected by the recognition of professionals. Before you appear actors who do not have an Oscar.

Johnny Depp

In an outrageous favorite of women, owner of the secret title "Hollywood's Sexiest Cheeks" and the regular film of the cult director Tim Burton, three nominations for "Oscar" appear on the track. Most critics in one voice argue that in none of the attempts at Depp had a chance to win. And the introduction of his name in the shortlist was already a great achievement. His shocking reincarnations are too grotesque, but sin with a lack of drama. That's why Johnny Depp still has not received his "Oscar". The best actor should reveal his full potential for reincarnation on the screen, or at least surprise the film academics.

Brad Pitt

One more favorite of women, a sex symbol of the 90s, Brad Pitt has an Oscar as a producer. In 2012, with his participation, the film "12 years of slavery" was released. However, his performing merits have not been evaluated by the guild of professionals, despite three nominations (two of them for the main male role).

And if in 2009 Bred had no chance in the fight with Sean Penn, who deservedly received his second "Oscar" for the role of leader of the movement of homosexual America of the 60s Harvey Milk, then in 2012 he had, perhaps, the most real The opportunity to receive a gold figurine. Many critics admit that the role in the baseball drama "The Man Who Changed Everything" was the best in the career of Angelina Jolie's wife.

Tom Cruise

We continue to talk about what actors did not receive the Oscar. Our list of relative losers of Hollywood would be incomplete if we did not mention the third sex symbol of the 90s by Tom Cruise. This now convinced Scientologist is flexing his muscles and trying to cope with an impossible mission. At the dawn of his career, Tom Cruise performed many dramatic and characteristic roles. However, the greatest chance to receive a figurine actor was in 2000, when he got to the shortlist of nominees for the role of the second plan ("Magnolia"). To the surprise of many, in that year the "Oscar" in this category was awarded to Michael Kane for not particularly notable role of the doctor in the film "Rules of winemakers".

However, Tom Cruise does not despair, famous actors without the "Oscar" feel good and even get for their work fabulous fees. Now he is also producing films. How to know, perhaps, like Brad Pitt, Tom will also someday conceive a grandiose project, which will be appreciated by film academics. It is noteworthy that for all his works, which were not honored with the recognition of professionals in Hollywood, the actor received the Golden Globe.

Jude Law

In 2000, in the nomination for the performance of the role of the second plan, Jude Law ("The Talented Mr. Ripley") fell. The actor had another nomination, but already for the performance of the main male role in the film "Cold Mountain" (2003). At the end of the year, Judah Lowe also had no chance of a fight with Sean Penn. Recall that this year the scandalous actor received his first "Oscar" for the role of a father-obsessed father in the film "The Mysterious River" directed by Clint Eastwood. This was the fourth nomination of Sean Penn, and film academics simply could not continue to ignore the talent of the actor. However, his past work in the films "Dead Man Goes" and "I'm Sam" many critics and fans consider more powerful. How to know if Sean Penn, by the time of the 2004 ceremony, already had a coveted statuette in his record, perhaps the main prize would have gone to Judah Law. However, these are only our assumptions.

Records

Sure, Sean Penn is one of the most outstanding performers of the last three decades. Now a noticeably aged master tries himself in the directorial field. More Shaun academics spoiled their recognition of only two actors. Do you want to know who has the largest number of Oscars? The actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who won three times as the best performer of the main male role. This is the absolute actor's record of the film academy, since the closest pursuer of Jack Nicholson also has three gold figurines, one of which is for the role of the second plan ("The language of tenderness"). It was a small lyrical digression, and ahead of you is the continuation of the list of relative losers of Hollywood.

Robert Downey Jr.

We continue the conversation about which actors do not have an Oscar. Robert Downey Jr. was never ranked among the sex symbols of Hollywood, but his performing talent is indisputable. The most realistic chance to receive the award was in the distant Robert already in 1993, brilliantly performing the role of Charlie Chaplin. Note that for this work the actor received the Golden Globe. The award is considered a kind of rehearsal before the main delivery of the Hollywood film awards. However, at that ceremony, "Oscar" went to Al Pacino, who played in the film "The Scent of a Woman." Then in the acting career of Robert Downey Jr. came the creative crisis associated with drug addiction and problems with the law. But many critics unanimously called Robert one of the most promising young actors of our time. As a result, the struggle with internal demons, not without the help of relatives, lasted about ten years.

Crisis, problems with the law

Of course, actors who do not receive an Oscar do not fall into depression, into drug addiction, do not become alcoholics. This was a combination of circumstances, evil fate, providence, family habits, perhaps, genetic predisposition. However, the return to great roles has become a triumph. The second nomination for "Oscar" was for the role of the second plan in the film "Soldiers of failure", where, by a strange coincidence, Downey Jr. plays an Oscar winner, who was not on the set, but on real military actions. However, no one before the announcement of the winner had any doubts. The award was to depart to the untimely departed from life, brilliantly played in the movie "The Dark Knight" Heath Ledger.

Return

Since then, Robert Downey Jr. was noted for several memorable roles. So, in pair with one more today's loser, Jude Law, he played in the latest adaptation of the adventures about Sherlock Holmes of the British director Guy Ritchie. For this role, the actor received another Golden Globe. Now the performer is busy with shooting, getting used not only to the images of avengers and iron people. There are among the heroes of Robert and dramatic characters. How to know, maybe soon he will no longer appear in the list of "The actors who have not received an Oscar."

Will Smith

If you consider undeservedly deprived of black actors, the first thing comes to mind is a multifaceted and versatile Will Smith. In the record of the master not only fantastic fighters or sports dramas (for one of which he was nominated as the performer of the main male role), but also memorable dramatic roles. So, in 2007, a film was released on the screens, in which Will Smith performed one of his best roles. It's about the tape "In pursuit of happiness," where he played with his own son. Actors who do not have an Oscar often try to get it at any price. However, we do not think that Will Smith is one of them. He is a self-sufficient person who philosophically approaches the issues of life and life values.

Mickey Rourke

Our list would be incomplete without a lady heartthrob 80's - early 90's. It is believed that Mickey Rourke deserved recognition of the public due to the sensational erotic thrillers. He became one of the highest-paid actors of his time, and the directors lined up to ask for a film in their tape. One of the best dramatic roles of Mickey Rourke is considered to be shooting in the film "Angel's Heart". Critics unanimously assert that the work side by side with Robert De Niro favored Mickey. Playing the entangled private detective Harry Eindel, Mickey Rourke completely revealed all his acting potential. However, due to high competition, I did not get into the shortlist of nominees.

Dramatic actors who do not have an Oscar tend to achieve universal recognition. Mickey Rourke went downhill. He was ruined by drinking, as well as short-sighted moves in the choice of tapes. And already in the late 90's, he was forced to withdraw only in second-rate paintings. Having grown old and transferred a number of plastic nominations, the actor managed to take up his mind and triumphantly return to the big screen in the new millennium. For the role in the film "Wrestler" Mickey Rourke received the "Golden Globe", the nomination for "Oscar", where he lost all the same Sean Penn.

Jake Gyllenhaal

This actor was on our list not by chance. He has only one nomination for an Oscar for playing a supporting role in the movie Brokeback Mountain. His acting talent is indisputable, which he proved by starring in the sports drama "Lefty" in 2015. However, Jake did not get into the shortlist of nominees, too much was the competition. Actors who do not have an Oscar should only choose high-quality and first-class films for shooting. We wish such paintings to Jake Gyllenhaul.

Edward Norton

Our next hero has two nominations. The first role on the big screen, where the actor played the priest's murderer in the film "Primeval Fear" (1996), brought him a nomination for the performance of the role of the second plan. Three years later, Edward Norton received the main nomination for the film "American History X", but the second attempt to take the coveted prize was unsuccessful.

Bradley Cooper

He is frankly lucky in love, but he is not lucky in search of recognition among film academics. In recent years, Irina Sheik's new lover has three consecutive Oscar nominations (from 2012 to 2014), but so far no victories. Here they are, actors without an Oscar. The list of foreign nominees for this is finished. We pass to the category of Russian masters.

Vladimir Mashkov

It is very difficult to win recognition in Hollywood, filming only in domestic projects. There is only one way: you need to play brilliantly in a foreign tape nominated for an Oscar, and wait for you to be noticed by Hollywood producers and directors. This is exactly what happened with Vladimir Mashkov, who was remembered for his role in the film "The Thief." However, so far, while Russian actors without the "Oscar". The list is not so impressive. Vladimir Mashkov now successfully works in Hollywood, is removed in megablokbasters and even is a member of the Guild of actors.

Grigory Dobrygin

Recognition of this young Russian artist came at the Berlin Film Festival, where he received a prize for the best male role in the film "How I spent this summer." Working in Russia side by side with the cult director Timur Bekmambetov, Grigory became a professional and went to conquer Hollywood. As we know, Russian actors who did not receive an Oscar, work overseas in the hope that their talent will sooner or later be appreciated. On account of the Russian work on the film "The Most Dangerous Man" with the Oscar-winning but tragically lost Philip Seymour Hoffman. Now Grigory Dobrygin is tightly engaged in filming with Western directors. Let's wish him good luck!
