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, including the phenomenal Amy Adams!

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 who appeared in numerous acclaimed films, never won an acting Oscar.
