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 long record definitely contains some extremely surprising omissions.

In this fun and fast multimedia presentation, we will look at which highly oRegarded actors have never won a  competitive 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.
