There’s no doubt about it: The Oscars are flawed. Sometimes movies that arguably deserve their due more than another, or movies that simply don’t generate enough hype, go unnoticed and unrecognized with nothing more than a pity nomination. Or no nomination at all. We’ll see all of that at this year’s Oscars, airing on February 26.
Then there are the just terrible movies and performances that somehow manage to snag the envible trophy.
There’s a long list of actors, directors, and more who you probably think have an Oscar, but don’t. Some of them have been nominated dozens of times. Some a few times. And some, tragically, not at all.
Here we take a look at some of Hollywood’s finest who somehow haven’t won an Oscar already:

Between 1983 and 2012, Close has gotten herself six Oscar nominations. Her last nomination in 2012 was for “Albert Knobbs.”

Ripley herself got a best actress nomination for “Alien” but didn’t win. She also got a best actress nomination for “Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey” and a best supporting actress nod for “Working Girl.” Weaver has said that awards shows give sci-fi films “no respect.”

Three nominations, yet she always gets beat by another powerful performance. Her latest nomination was in 2011 for “The Kids Are Alright.” She lost to Natalie Portman for her performance in “Black Swan.” In 2017, she was snubbed with no nomination for her acclaimed work in “20th Century Women.”
