Performances You Would’ve Given An Actor/Actress Their First Oscar Nod For?

[Jeffrey Kare]

#1204034443

I don’t know if someone else has already started a thread on this subject, but I thought I’d try.

If you could give an Oscar nod to any actor/actress who’s never been nominated by the Academy as their very first nomination, who would it be and for what movie? The criteria for this should be acting legends and/or veterans who’ve somehow never received the recognition they’ve deserved from the Academy.

I love these two mentions, especially Stuhlbarg. One of my favorite scenes in Call Me By Your Name is Mr. Pearlman’s heart wrenching confession to his son.

I would also add Richard E. Grant for Can You Ever Forgive Me? His final scene with Israel should have been awarded with an Oscar. *This doesn’t meet the requested requirement, since Grant was nominated, but I wish he would have won.*

As I’ve already mentioned, the criteria for this should be people who’ve somehow never been nominated by the Academy. So Portman, Johansson, Watts, and Fassbender all don’t count as each of them did eventually get nominated (with Portman obviously winning in 2010).

Anton Walbrook – The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp / The Red Shoes
Kathleen Byron – Black Narcissus
Dennis Price – Kind Hearts and Coronets

Toshiro Mifune – Seven Samurai
Kim Novak – Vertigo
Marilyn Monroe – Some Like It Hot
Harriet Andersson – Through a Glass Darkly / Cries and Whispers

Mia Farrow – Rosemary’s Baby
Malcolm McDowell – A Clockwork Orange
Oliver Reed – The Devils
John Cazale – The Godfather Part II / Dog Day Afternoon

Jane Horrocks – Life Is Sweet / Little Voice
David Thewlis – Naked
Virna Lisi – La Reine Margot

Actors who went on to receive (an) Oscar nomination(s) but deserved one beforehand:
