We all know Leo DiCaprio should have an Oscar by now. Even though he’s only 41 years-old, and competition has been tough every one of the 5 times he was nominated, his work has been so consistently great in the last few years, it seems like an outrage that he doesn’t have an “Academy Award winner” attached to his name. He’s not the only one who’s been remembered multiple times by Oscar voters and never got to go up to that stage, though.
That’s why this list rounds up the actors and actresses that had their work rewarded with multiple Oscar nods, but were either trampled by competition or downright snubbed by the Academy.
Some of them are recognized as great actors of their generations, and a lot of them are unfortunately dead or retired by now – in some of these cases, the Academy tried to repair their mistake by handing them an honorary Oscar, but the fact remains they were never duly recognized for their work in the acting categories.
10. Leonardo DiCaprio (5 nominations, 0 wins)
While that’s not definitive, since DiCaprio will probably take home the award this year for his work in The Revenant, his inclusion here shows there’s a host of other actors who have been unjustly unrecognized by the Academy, sometimes even more shockingly so.
And if he eventually wins this year, as every prediction seem to point, he’ll be following a very familiar pattern, one shared by his Titanic co-star Kate Winslet, who won on her sixth nomination, and Julianne Moore, who won on her fifth. It’s par de course for the Academy to take long to recognize certain talents, or to think it’s finally their year – continue…
