A fairly slow day to write about anything. I’ve decided to continue thematically with this past Monday’s Directors and Oscars list.
This time I’m tackling the best living actors to have never been nominated.
The list of Oscar-snubbed actors who are no longer with his quite impressive: Klaus Kinski, eter Lorre, Joseph Cotten, Edward G. Robinson, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Warren Oates, John Cazale, Maureen O’Hara, Myrna Loy, Raul Julia, Toshiro Mifune, among many others. And, most recent, Alan Rickman.
The great living actors who have still not been recognized:
Donald Sutherland, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Martin Sheen, Guy Pearce, Oscar Isaac, Richard Gere, Kevin Bacon, Steve Martin, Jim Carrey, Bruce Willis, John Turturro, Kurt Russell, Emily Blunt, Kevin Bacon.
I did a lot of detective work to come up with the above list. I might have missed a few, but that’s where you come in. Who else deserves to be on there?
For years I thought Buscemi had gotten nominated for “Ghost World,” but no! What a disgrace! Goodman should have gotten a few nods for his past supporting roles in Coen movies, especially in “The Big Lebowski,” “Barton Fink” and “Inside Llewyn Davis.”
