Best Actors Never to Win an Oscar

America has been in love with the movies for over 100 years. And every year the race for the Oscar is closely watched by movie fans around the world. Winning the Academy award connotes something special in the history of film. Movie buffs debate the winners and losers, the snubs and the surprises.  But since the 1920s, the Academy Awards have built a long historical record that we can examine. And that record definitely contains some extremely surprising omissions.   In this fun and fast multimedia presentation, we will look at which highly regarded actors

have never won the Academy award. We will not be considering one specific film performance but, rather, the larger question of why a great body of work never yielded an Oscar. How did great actors from Hollywood’s golden past such as Peter O’Toole, Cary Grant, & Richard Burton never win an Oscar? And how has the Academy award escaped actors working today such as  Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, and Harrison Ford who have made some of the most highly acclaimed films ever?
