    Disclaimer that my selection of the choices for this poll is extremely subjective so of course, please feel free to identify other worthy actors I’ve failed to list. (I acknowledge that for some of these options I’m somewhat biased in favor of actors I’ve seen perform on stage.)

    Emily Blunt is underrated as hell. Also for Kirsten Dunst. Their talents and range are so much better than some of the young and overrated starlets Oscar nominees from the last decade.

    Alfred Molina. He should have won for his one scene in Boogie Nights alone.

    FYC Oscars: Licorice Pizza (Best Picture, Best Director, Original Screenplay), The Mitchells vs The Machines (Best Picture, Animated Feature, Original Screenplay), Wes Anderson (Best Director), Denzel Washington (The Tragedy of MacBeth), Andrew Garfield and Robin de Jesus (Tick, Tick...BOOM!), Jayne Houdyshell (The Humans), Stephen Karam (Adapted Screenplay), Attica and Summer of Soul (Best Documentary)

    FYC Razzies: Dear Evan Hansen (in all eligible categories)

    Jamie Lee Curtis. Imagine thinking she doesn’t deserve to be on the poll list.

    Halloween – True Lies – My Girl – Freaky Friday – A Fish Called Wanda – Trading Places – Blue Steel.

    She’s more than overdue.

    FYC 2022 Emmys:

    Best Actress in a Drama Series: Sandra Oh in "Killing Eve"

    Best Actress in a Comedy Series: Sandra Oh in "The Chair"

    Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series: Kim Joo-ryoung in "Squid Game"

    I would never say she (or at least a dozen other actors) “doesn’t deserve” to be on this list.  I may have been conflating a bit actors overdue for a first Oscar  nomination and actors I’ve seen on stage (such as Alfred Molina, Jeffrey Wright and Ben Whishaw) who are overdue for more good film roles.

    Delroy Lindo should have been nominated this past year.

    Donald Sutherland should have easily been nominated a couple of times.

    Curtis should have been nominated a couple of times and she came close a couple of times as well. She was def. next in line for True Lies (category confusion – lead at GG, supporting at SAG) and she won BAFTA for Trading Places. It’s a true shame she’s never gotten in.

    Two words. Emily. Blunt.
