SUMMARY:Best Actresses To Never Win An Oscar!
DESCRIPTION:The Academy Awards are designed to recognize the greatest achievements in movies. Each year\, huge audiences watch the Oscars\, 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. \nBut 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! \nThis 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! \nAlthough 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. \nOne important example is Chicago’s own Kim Novak. In a ten-year period\, she made six films that are today considered cinema classics. Despite that amazing run\, she was never even nominated for an Oscar! \nOur top twenty list of snubbed actresses will definitely surprise you!  Each choice is accompanied by insightful analysis\, many film clips\, and numerous wonderful anecdotes. \n  \nPLEASE NOTE: This program is offered live and in person only at the East-West Center of the Glenview Senior Center.

SUMMARY:Best Actors Never to Win an Oscar
DESCRIPTION: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 a competitive Academy Award \n \nWe will not be considering one specific film performance but the larger question of why a great body of work never yielded an Oscar. For instance\, how did great actors from Hollywood’s golden past\, such as Peter O’Toole\, Cary Grant\, & Richard Burton\, never win an Academy Award? And how has the precious Oscar statuette eluded actors working today\, such as  Tom Cruise\, Johnny Depp\,\nand Harrison Ford\, who have made some of the most highly acclaimed films ever? Don’t miss this fun presentation!
