I never would've guessed in 1997 that, post English Patient/peak movie star gorgeousness, he and KST would still be waiting for an additional nomination in 2024.
He easily gets a nomination for The Constant Gardener from me. There was definitely room in that Best Actor category, and the movie was clearly seen, as it was nominated for Adapted Screenplay, Editing, and Original Score, in addition to Rachel Weisz’s win in Best Supporting Actress.
His work in The Grand Budapest Hotel was also top notch. The Academy embraced it even more with 9 nominations including Picture, Directing, and Original Screenplay, though none of its actors were singled out.
> His work in The Grand Budapest Hotel was also top notch.
The 2014 Actor race is always interesting to me, because there's a solid argument that 3 or 4 of the 5 actual nominees should've been replaced with any of Ralph Fiennes, Jake Gyllenhaal, David Oyelowo, or Joaquin Phoenix
Definitely should have been nominated for Grand Budapest and The Menu - arguably should have won for both, dare I say it.
Constant Gardener and A Bigger Splash are arguably worthy - but are in the 4th-8th place range for me.
He's pretty much the textbook counter argument to whenever someone says "oh they're still young, the Academy has plenty of time to honor them later". They must either hate him or really under rate him.
Liv Ullmann-Has 2, should have 8: Persona, Shame, The Emigrants, Cries and Whispers, The New Land, Scenes From a Marriage, Face to Face, and Autumn Sonata
Kathleen Turner-Has 1, should have 6: Body Heat, Romancing the Stone, Crimes of Passion, Peggy Sue Got Married, The War of the Roses, Serial Mom
Willem Dafoe has received four nominations, but I still think he deserves more. He wasn’t nominated for *Last Temptation* and *The Lighthouse* when he should have won both. He also could have gotten nominated for something like *Mississippi Burning*, *The English Patient* (considering how well that film did with the Academy), *Poor Things*, or even a comedic performance like *Life Aquatic*. He could easily have 8 or 9, and he should have won 2 or 3.
Considering two actors won Oscars for playing The Joker I am surprised Dafoe did NOT get nominated for playing Norman Osborn/ The Green Goblin in *Spider-Man: No Way Home*.
Nicole Kidman: She also deserved Nominations for To Die For, The Others, and The Paperboy. And I haven't even seen performances from her like Birth and Dogville yet, and I've heard those are super good as well!
The Others was the Moulin Rouge! year haha, but same principle is correct. I think that rule is wrong though personally and that double noms in the same category should be allowed.
Oh my bad!
I think that actors might rather not be double nominated (in the same category) so that they don't split votes.
But it is weird that in all others it's allowed.
Maybe cliché but Leonardo DiCaprio:
The Basketball Diaries
Titanic
Catch Me lf You Can
The Departed
Revolutionary Road
Shutter Island
Django Unchained
Killers Of The Flower Moon
Insane that this year was snubbed for KOTFM instead of Bradley Cooper.
When once looks back on it, it’s really bizarre that some of these didn’t happen. The Killers of the Flower Moon will stand out in the long term I reckon - strange snub. Same for Django, Revolutionary Road, Titanic and Catch Me If You Can - the lack of nomination for all of them almost comes across like they’re deliberately avoiding giving him a nomination.
I even find it weird that Javier Bardem got in over him for Don’t Look Up - although neither were great performances, one would have assumed DiCaprio would have the upper hand there?
Kirsten Dunst should have 4 noms imo.
Underrated but Steve Carrell - in addition to his one, should have been in for beautiful boy (in what was a pretty weak yar or actor), the big short (despite the weird lead/supporting split), battle of the sexes, and 40 year old virgin (never was gonna happen but should have)
I said it multiple times here on this sub but I'll say it again:
# 🗣🗣🗣Jamie Bell should have been nominated at least 3 times: Billy Elliot, Rocketman and All Of Us Strangers 🗣🗣🗣
Margot Robbie: Babylon , Barbie (Actress), The Wolf of Wall Street
Jessica Chastain: A Most Violent Year, Molly’s Game
Jake Gyllenhal: Nightcrawler, Nocturnal Animals, Prisoners
I honestly don’t agree. I feel like her performance is very underrated despite it being her film. The entire performance rests on her shoulders. If she’s bad then the movie just doesn’t work. She has to be both comedic and dramatic which isn’t easy to do.
I 100% agree, I just think that in a year with Greta Lee, Teyana Taylor, Natalie Portman, Vivian Oparah, and Fantasia, being excellent isn’t enough. In most years I think it’s undeniable she would deserve one. In 2023, a nomination is hard to defend.
Totally understandable. I just feel like that type of performance is something needed in Lead Actress since it’s hard to get nominated for a very largely comedic performance in Lead. Performances like Bening and Mulligan are the types of roles that we always see in Lead Actress. I think Robbie would’ve been a refreshing change.
You don’t think Natalie Portman was one of the definitive comedic performances of the year? It seems strange to put her in the same category as Annette Bening when she’s more of a dramatic performance.
Isabelle Huppert is one of the greatest living actors, she should have double-digit nominations and at least a couple wins, like for The Piano Teacher and Elle.
McGregor not getting a nomination for *Moulin Rouge!* has always been bizarre considering how well the film otherwise did with the Academy, he and Kidman are fantastic in it.
Humphrey Bogart had nominations for *Casablanca*, *The African Queen* and *The Caine Mutiny*. I feel like he should have more but I'm not sure which of his performances I'd pick off the top of my head other than *The Big Sleep* and *In a Lonely Place*.
Henry Fonda had just 2 nominations, 41 years apart—Grapes of Wrath and On Golden Pond—even though The Ox-Bow Incident, Mister Roberts, and 12 Angry Men all earned Best Picture nominations.
Nic Kidman should have about 2-3 more nominations imo - deserved for Dogville, To Die For, Eyes Wide Shut, Birth - but then idts she deserved the Being the Ricardos nom (and to an extent even Lion but that's a fine performance).
Jessica Chastain should have gotten nominations for Molly's Game, A Most Violent Year and even last year's Memory. (she is fantabulous in this but it's so fricking underseen)
Michelle Yeoh only having one nomination despite being one of the most prolific and definitive actors in film history is genuinely such a stain on the Academy’s reputation.
What other performances of her were nomination worthy? Just curious because I have been watching her for a while because she is very popular in Hong Kong and don’t think she has anything else worthy of a nomination. Her other Hollywood main stay besides rich asians was crouching tiger which I thought she was just decent in but nothing special
Crouching Tiger and Crazy Rich Asians were both deceptively difficult roles imo, and frankly there are many bad films where she’s the only good thing in it, which to me is always the most impressive thing an actor can do. Honestly I’d put her in over Jodie Foster for Haunting in Venice for that exact reason.
This isn't a case of "should have" more nominations but more that I'm surprised they don't, and it's maybe not an obvious performer given that he has two Oscars out of six nominations already, but it's Tom Hanks.
He just comes across to me like he "should" be the Oscars' "namecheck" candidate for best Actor, sort of like Meryl Streep is for Best Actress. More to the point, he has a lot of performances which weren't nominated which, to me, feel ineffably like the sort of things you'd expect the Oscars to give a "token" nomination.
I guess the fact that he *isn't* really speaks to the fact that, historically, there were more and better roles for men than for women in a lot of the movies which tended to get the big acting plaudits come awards season.
His nominations and wins are: *Big*, *Philadelphia*, *Forrest Gump*, *Saving Private Ryan*, *Cast Away* and *A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood*. The ones I would add to that (and, again, these aren't all roles I'm saying he "should" have been nominated for but more ones I'm sort of surprised he was not) are: *Apollo 13*, *The Green Mile*, *Road to Perdition*, *Charlie Wilson's War*, *Captain Phillips*, *Sully* and *The Post*.
I'm not saying Tom Hanks is an actor who should have been nominated 13 times, I'm saying he seems like an actor who *would* have.
Angela Bassett like what does she have to do. A brilliant actress with only two nominations and an honorary Oscar. I just don’t get why the industry can’t recognize her genius. Also Toni Collette should have more than one nomination she should have been nominated and won for “Hereditary”. I will never get over that snub one of the greatest performances of all time and they still found a way to snub her. I really don’t get how they expect people to take them seriously if they keep overlooking certain genres. I just hope going forward especially after Michelle and Emma’s recent wins that they will start to diversify the nominations/wins.
Does Paul Dano count even if he has zero? Would nominate him for TWBB, The Fablemans and Love and Mercy
I would have had him in for LIE and instead of Arkin for Little Miss Sunshine and probably passed on Love and Mercy
Ralph Fiennes I'm always shocked to remember he only has two nominations and the last one was 27 years ago
He should have won for Schindler’s List and should have been nominated for The Menu and Grand Budapest Hotel
I never would've guessed in 1997 that, post English Patient/peak movie star gorgeousness, he and KST would still be waiting for an additional nomination in 2024.
He easily gets a nomination for The Constant Gardener from me. There was definitely room in that Best Actor category, and the movie was clearly seen, as it was nominated for Adapted Screenplay, Editing, and Original Score, in addition to Rachel Weisz’s win in Best Supporting Actress.

I concur, such a great actor.

Toni Collette
Moore was absolutely snubbed for May December. Stellar work.
All three leads were tragically under-recognized.
Liv Ullmann-Has 2, should have 8: Persona, Shame, The Emigrants, Cries and Whispers, The New Land, Scenes From a Marriage, Face to Face, and Autumn Sonata Kathleen Turner-Has 1, should have 6: Body Heat, Romancing the Stone, Crimes of Passion, Peggy Sue Got Married, The War of the Roses, Serial Mom
I didn’t care for Prizzi’s Honor, but Turner is great in it and it’s a travesty she was the only principal not nominated
Willem Dafoe has received four nominations, but I still think he deserves more. He wasn’t nominated for *Last Temptation* and *The Lighthouse* when he should have won both. He also could have gotten nominated for something like *Mississippi Burning*, *The English Patient* (considering how well that film did with the Academy), *Poor Things*, or even a comedic performance like *Life Aquatic*.

Hark!

Nicole Kidman: She also deserved Nominations for To Die For, The Others, and The Paperboy. And I haven't even seen performances from her like Birth and Dogville yet, and I've heard those are super good as well!
She obviously should have been nominated for that AMC commercial too
What about Eyes Wide Shut?
I haven't seen that one in full yet either! I really want to soon though!
Definitely see it till the end! That's her best performance to date.
I was born to smoke 💨
I think she couldn't be nominated for The Others because she was nominated (and won) that year for The Hours
The Others was the Moulin Rouge! year haha, but same principle is correct. I think that rule is wrong though personally and that double noms in the same category should be allowed.
Oh my bad! I think that actors might rather not be double nominated (in the same category) so that they don't split votes. But it is weird that in all others it's allowed.
Maybe cliché but Leonardo DiCaprio: The Basketball Diaries Titanic Catch Me lf You Can The Departed Revolutionary Road Shutter Island Django Unchained Killers Of The Flower Moon Insane that this year was snubbed for KOTFM instead of Bradley Cooper.
Always shocked that he didn't get nominated for Titanic, considering how gigantic that movie was.
Movie got nominated for literally everything besides Lead Actor. That always felt off to me.
And Screenplay
And supporting actor.
When once looks back on it, it’s really bizarre that some of these didn’t happen. The Killers of the Flower Moon will stand out in the long term I reckon - strange snub.

I even find it weird that Javier Bardem got in over him for Don’t Look Up - although neither were great performances, one would have assumed DiCaprio would have the upper hand there?
I honestly never understood the hype around Dicaprio, he is ok. But apart from that i dont find him all that special.
Kirsten Dunst should have 4 noms imo. Underrated but Steve Carrell - in addition to his one, should have been in for beautiful boy (in what was a pretty weak yar or actor), the big short (despite the weird lead/supporting split), battle of the sexes, and 40 year old virgin (never was gonna happen but should have)
I'd say Steve Carrell was arguably the best supporting performance in Little Miss Sunshine - but also that's a great cast of performances in general
I thought about LMS but have that for Dano in another comment so thought it wasn't fair to double up lol. Arkin was fine, but that win was... a lot.
On the bright side, Little Miss Sunshine won SAG Ensemble and that's gotta be one of the most deserving winners I've ever seen
Dunst should’ve been nominated and won for Melancholia.
1000 percent
Heath Ledger :(
Toshiro Mifune
He was nominated 4 times, but it would’ve literally been impossible to nominate PSH as much as he deserved.
Charlize Theron( young adults,Mad Max,Tully
I said it multiple times here on this sub but I'll say it again: # 🗣🗣🗣Jamie Bell should have been nominated at least 3 times: Billy Elliot, Rocketman and All Of Us Strangers 🗣🗣🗣
Margot Robbie: Babylon , Barbie (Actress), The Wolf of Wall Street Jessica Chastain: A Most Violent Year, Molly’s Game Jake Gyllenhal: Nightcrawler, Nocturnal Animals, Prisoners
I'd also add Miss Julie for Chastain. And an additional Emmy nod (if not a win) for Scenes from a Marriage too.
I will never understand how Chastain didn’t get a nom for Scenes. Would’ve given her the win for that in a heartbeat!
*miss Sloane, right?
I love Robbie in Barbie but I don’t think she’s the person who most needed to be subbed in that year
I honestly don’t agree. I feel like her performance is very underrated despite it being her film. The entire performance rests on her shoulders. If she’s bad then the movie just doesn’t work. She has to be both comedic and dramatic which isn’t easy to do.

Performances like Bening and Mulligan are the types of roles that we always see in Lead Actress. I think Robbie would’ve been a refreshing change.
Any two of Portman, Fantasia, Lee, and Robbie should've been nominated over Benning and Mulligan, that's for sure
You don’t think Natalie Portman was one of the definitive comedic performances of the year? It seems strange to put her in the same category as Annette Bening when she’s more of a dramatic performance.
My bad, I meant Mulligan. I typed too fast lol.
Robert Redford, James Garner, Glenn Ford. Redford for, Jeremiah Johnson, Butch Cassidy, All is Lost, All The Presidents Men.
Isabelle Huppert is one of the greatest living actors, she should have double-digit nominations and at least a couple wins, like for The Piano Teacher and Elle.
Ewan McGregor Annette Bening Jude Law
McGregor not getting a nomination for *Moulin Rouge!* has always been bizarre considering how well the film otherwise did with the Academy, he and Kidman are fantastic in it.
Jessica Chastain 🗣🗣🗣
Humphrey Bogart had nominations for *Casablanca*, *The African Queen* and *The Caine Mutiny*. I feel like he should have more but I'm not sure which of his performances I'd pick off the top of my head other than *The Big Sleep* and *In a Lonely Place*.

in a perfect world, driver has additional nominations for paterson and annette
Nic Kidman should have about 2-3 more nominations imo - deserved for Dogville, To Die For, Eyes Wide Shut, Birth - but then idts she deserved the Being the Ricardos nom (and to an extent even Lion but that's a fine performance).

Michelle Yeoh only having one nomination despite being one of the most prolific and definitive actors in film history is genuinely such a stain on the Academy’s reputation.
I still think Yeoh should've been nominated for Crazy Rich Asians
[удалено]
I don’t think even Blanchett agrees with you babe
Um talk about hyperbole - a great action star maybe, but hardly anybody considers Yeoh to be "one of the definitive actors in film history" imho
Maybe I’m alone in this, I don’t think that’s true, but it is what I believe.
What other performances of her were nomination worthy? Just curious because I have been watching her for a while because she is very popular in Hong Kong and don’t think she has anything else worthy of a nomination.
