Old school movie star and, to put it mildly, not the most consistent actor in the world, Gere has yet to enjoy a single moment at the Oscars (where the likes of George Clooney have experienced a handful). Lately, he's been around the corner with Hoaxes and Arbitrage — perhaps this will happen when he finds his Wall Street.
Most robbed for:Top Gear — his most dubious performance. , as an evil cop in Mike Figgis' film «Internal Affairs.»
Richard Gere in Law Enforcement 19. John Cusack
Many of his films (“Grifters,” “Bullets Over Broadway,” Being John Malkovich was a big hit at the Academy, but Cusack's neurotic leads never broke through. You get the feeling he's still waiting for the iconic mid-career role that will bring him into the fold.
Most robbed for:There's too much great ensemble work in The Thin Red Line for any of the players to stand out, but Cusack's captain Gaff is weary, alert and invaluable.

Is he trustworthy or not? There is a subtle decency to much of Cotten's work, although it can quickly degenerate into cynicism, and his characters are often crushed by the impending collapse of their dreams. Even when he's the opposite of type, like the murderous Uncle Charlie in Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, he remains a magnet for the viewer's faith.
Most Robbed:Holly Martins in The Third Man . is a typical Cotten creation, and a man you betray at your own peril.

To be fair, the famous child killer Lorre in Fritz Lang's M (1931) appeared in the early days of the Oscars, when foreign films were not yet accepted. However, he soon made his mark in Hollywood with his unsettling angelic face, bulging eyes, and ability to evoke auras of invisible depravity with just a few quick movements.
Most heists:< /strong>Joel Cairo, the overtly gay man with a cane in The Maltese Falcon, was one of Lorre's first classic Warner Bros. roles. Peter Lorre (second from right) in The Maltese Falcon Photo: Warner Bros. 16. Jim Carrey
We don't have to pretend all of Carrey's comic roles are nomination-worthy — The Grinch, anyone? — and he made a lot of slag among the jewelry. When he really digs deeper, however, it's amazing what emotional resources he finds to portray ordinary people in sad crisis, discovering the limits of what they've been given.
Most of the robbers:>Were and other misses, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is Carrey's most intimate and profound starring role.

For years best known as that weasel in All the Other Boys movies, Buscemi is rightfully the great American character actor of the 1990s, more or less the Elisha Cook Jr. of that era. There are no nominations for either? Some people have a hard time earning respect.
Most robbed for:William H. Macy was nominated, but the memorably bumbling Carl Showalter of Buscemi's Fargo should have shared the honor. p > 
14. Jeff Daniels
Daniels was perhaps the only person not to receive recognition for James L. Brooks's Terms of Endearment (1983), and he managed to claw his way through a solid Hollywood career, clowning here and there, lending bitter credibility to others without getting the no one.
Most robbed for:The closest he came, of course, was Noah Baumbach's The Squid and the Whale (which is that his character, a pompous lecturer in the middle of a divorce , would call it “fillet”). Daniels).

A song and dance legend, Miller had an amazing voice and was almost always the best in her films. She could tap dance fast enough to make your head spin and also really act. She retired in 1976, more or less, although David Lynch gave her a wonderful comeback as Coco, the landlady of Mulholland Drive.
Most heists for:None She wouldn't have done it anyway. beat out Mercedes McCambridge in All the King's Men, but Miller's fun-loving gal in On the Town is easily worthy of a nomination. > Ann Miller (left) on Mulholland Drive. Photo: Everett/Rex 12. Myrna Loy (1905–1993)
The Academy felt so guilty for never nominating the exotic and versatile Loy that they launched a lobbying campaign to rectify the situation, and in 1991 they gave her an honorary Oscar. She agreed on camera at home, simply saying: “You made me very happy. Thank you very much.”
Most robbed for:William Powell and director W.S. Van Dyke entered, so it seems especially cruel that half of the detective Loy of the Thin Man duo went without a reward.

Puerto Rican actor's career cut short in his prime, just as Gomez Addams was catapulting him to stardom. His performance of Shakespeare was legendary, and he earned respect as the (superior) straight man in his Oscar-winning role as gay martyr William Hurt in Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985). But the biggest award in cinema eluded him.
Most robbed for:The very brilliant role of Harrison Ford's cunning lawyer Sandy Stern in the film «Presumed Innocent» allowed Julia to win an Oscar. in the film «Presumed Innocent» Credits: Moviestore/Rex 10. Hugh Grant
Hugh Grant is great at what he does and basically terrible, as he's the first to admit when asked to do anything else. His entire career has been built on looking like a pig's ear while playing the romantic lead and making it fun, which he does with natural skills and timing that we admit we don't appreciate enough.
Most robbed. pros:A word for his wonderfully snobbish support in Petty Crooks (2000), but Four Weddings and a Funeral is clearly the film Grant was born to make.

It could be argued that Lopez hasn't proven herself in enough Oscar-worthy roles, although she won very early on won a Golden Globe for her performance in the musical biopic Selena (1997) and starred in Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight (1998). Since then, there have been few chances to serenade her, with one sad exception, which can be considered a missed golden opportunity.
Most robbed for:They really messed it up in Hustlers. She's won critics' awards everywhere and could hardly be better or more physically amazing than this mama bear in a sorority stripper club.
8. Isabella Rossellini
Her mother Ingrid Bergman won three of the damn prizes, and while few would argue that Rossellini is anything like that big of a star, she gave some mesmerizing performances. She's already over sixty: let's hope for a spicy supporting role in something mysterious and wonderful to attract her to the club.
Most robbers are for: Out of this world in the role as the glamorous masochist Dorothy Vallens in David Lynch's Blue Velvet, Rossellini probably just scared everyone too much to vote for her.

It's hard to imagine anyone playing villains more attractively than Rickman — often secretly they become heroes, even if the real hero is not mentioned. He was also a surprisingly cantankerous romantic lead when called upon (not often enough), and the kind of British professional Oscar voters routinely got on all fours to reward.
Most of the heists are for:< /strong>They say that an action movie is only as good as its villain. Thanks to Rickman's wickedly sardonic Hans Gruber, this means Die Hard ranks among the best of all time.

Barrymore is not just the head of a legendary Hollywood dynasty (he's Drew's grandfather) and one of the most important stage actors of his time, but a major movie star throughout the sound era and during the first decade of talkies. young. His brother Lionel won one (for 1931's A Free Soul), but John was more talented.
Most robbed for:A diva's bouts of magnificent indignation as a menacing Broadway impresario Oscar Jaffe. in «The Twentieth Century» by Howard Hawks.

Ryan belongs to the Carrey/Grant category, whose mites may irritate her lesser machines, but when she's on it, she's really on it — star power, comic moment and crazy charm like no other. Her resume is missing one slap to the forehead that would make up for it all.
Most robbers are for:Really, if they weren't going to nominate her for When Harry Met Sally… it would never happen.

In every way, it feels like Mia has survived the rough end of her marriage to Woody Allen — she's been his muse for a decade, and more. An Oscar nomination and the supporting players keep reaping them? Even before they teamed up, her ethereal, freckled beauty was a Hollywood treasure, and the Academy should have taken notice.
Most Robbed For: Actresses, 1968 It's impossible to imagine Rosemary's Baby without her pale, frightened girl. fragility, like the mother of Satan.

He has an instantly recognizable baritone voice, perhaps the most valuable voice in cinema compared to James Mason, and such a rich gallery of roles, from eccentrically sweet to downright terrifying.
Most stolen for : Sutherland's incredible unofficial monologue in Oliver Stone's JFK that reveals the entire film.
Donald Sutherland in Photos of JFK : Everett/Rex 2. Marilyn Monroe (1926–62)
Perhaps the fact that she was the beautiful star to end all pin-ups was considered enough, and she was a hugely successful star for ten years. She may have done too many comedies, which was never the surest path to the Academy's favor. But any one of the half-dozen performances should have merited Monroe's inclusion, if only as a polite nod of approval.
Most robbed for:Only Jack Lemmon's Some Like it Hot featured the lead trio, but Monroe is fifty times funnier in it than nominee Doris Day in Pillow Talk.

A damn skilled character actor, now approaching seventy Robinson was a huge, if unlikely, star throughout the 1930s and '40s. He must have narrowly avoided being trapped as the hood in Little Caesar (1931) and sadly died two months before he was awarded an honorary Oscar in 1973.
< p>Most Heists: >He's had flashier roles, but few were as perfect for him as sympathetic tuner Barton Keyes in Double Indemnity.
