Best Actresses To Never Win An Oscar!
April 8, 2021 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
The Academy Awards are designed to recognize the greatest achievements in the movies. Each year, the Oscars are watched by huge audiences, and the results can make or break a film’s chances at success. They also have a huge impact on the careers of the performers. But as you will see in this unique multimedia presentation, laden with film clips, Oscar has snubbed some of the greatest and most popular performers in cinema history!
This week we will be looking at the great ladies of the silver screen who have been denied the top acting awards! Some of the names on the list are sure to surprise you!
Although some of the amazing women we will feature eventually did win honorary Oscars or lifetime achievement awards, it is nonetheless incomprehensible that some of Hollywood’s most important and accomplished actresses, including many that appeared in numerous acclaimed films, never won an acting Oscar.
One important example would be Chicago’s own, the amazing Kim Novak. In a ten-year period, she made six films that are today considered cinema classics. Despite that amazing run, Kim Novak was never even nominated for an Oscar!
Our top twenty list of snubbed actresses will definitely surprise you! Each choice is accompanied by insightful analysis, many film clips, and numerous wonderful anecdotes.
