Never Nominated: 10 Oscar-Snubbed Actors Who’ll Win In The Tens
Oscar snubs happen every year. With the new decade in front of us and award season around the corner, what better time to project who will dominate the Academy Awards over the course of the next 10 years. Here are 10 actors (five male, five female), all of whom have never been nominated by the Academy, who are good bets to take home an Oscar during the 2010s.
Best Actor
1. Christian Bale
We knew he had “the magic” almost 25 years ago when he was a one-boy show in Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun. We knew he had “the magic” when he laid his claim to the Batman/Bruce Wayne role with his breakthrough performance in American Psycho. We knew he had “the magic” when he went all De Niro on us and lost like 80 pounds for The Machinist. Bale has been getting the shaft from the Academy for almost a quarter decade. It’s getting to the point where Kanye might as well interrupt the next Best Actor acceptance speech to plug Bale.
2. Chiwetel Ejiofor
I had the same feeling about Philip Seymour Hoffman heading into the 2000s, and we all know how that turned out. Give this man a great vehicle like Capote was for PSH and he’s taking home that golden dude. He could play Arthur Ashe, Booker T. Washington, Chuck D, Donald Goines, Edward Duplex, Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, Huey P. Newton…pick a letter of the alphabet and I will gave you the name of an iconic black historical figure he could morph into! I honestly think he and Denzel could have swapped roles in either American Gangster or Inside Man and both films would have been just as good. That’s how good he is. Watch Dirty Pretty Things and Kinky Boots back to back and you’ll feel the same way.
3. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Honestly, I think he’s on the same trajectory as Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio were on earlier in their careers. He can do any genre. He can play the villain or the hero just as well as he can play the sympathetic sap. If JGL doesn’t become an A-lister and an Oscar winer this decade, I’ll be shocked. If you haven’t seen 500 Days of Summer, Brick and Mysterious Skin, hit up Netflix now. Hell, JGL is so good his turn as Cobra Commander made the otherwise putrid G.I. Joe watchable.
4. Colin Ferrell
To understand just how good of an actor Ferrell is, consider this: in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, he played the exact same role as Johnny Depp and Jude Law and kicked both of their asses. It wasn’t even close. We all know he can play the bad boy, but he can also pull of comedic and dramatic roles just as well. If he focuses more on being an actor and less on being a chain-smoking, groupie-banging star, he has the chops to end up being one of the greatest actors of his generation.
5. Jeff Daniels
How he didn’t get nominated for either The Purple Rose of Cairo or The Squid and the Whale blows my mind. He probably should have been nominated for Pleasantville, too, as he stole the show despite being part of a star-studded cast. And what about The Lookout? I mean, Sandra freakin’ Bullock is about to get nominated. Regardless of his previous snubs, I have a strong gut feeling that Daniels is going to enjoy a strong career surge in his 50s. He’s due. The Academy can only ignore so many brilliant performances, even if they do consider him primarily a comedic actor.
Honorable mention: Eric Bana, Gary Oldman, Jeffrey Wright, Jim Carrey, Sam Rockwell
Best Actress
1. Scarlett Johansson
The Man Who Wasn’t There. Ghost World. Lost in Translation. The Girl with a Pearl Earring. Match Point. The Prestige. Vicky Christina Barcelona. What in the eff does she have to do in order to get nominated? She’s gonna have to change her name to Snublett Johansson if this continues. No actress from her generation dominated the past decade like she did. She’s almost as sure of a bet as Bale.
2. Anna Kendrick
We are going to be seeing a shitload of Miss Kendrick this decade. She might be 5-foot-1, but she has a giant presence onscreen. Screw Twilight; it was her role in Rocket Science that put me onto her. If you ask me, she was just as good as Ellen Page was in Juno. Up in the Air only further solidified her status as one of the finest up-and-coming actresses in the biz. She might not even get nominated this year, but she will eventually. Probably multiple times.
3. Dakota Fanning
Do I really even have to explain this prediction. Not only was Fanning born to win an Oscar, she’s hellbent on winning one. How else do you explain her involvement in Hounddog, a flick she made when she was 12 or 13 about a young Elvis-lovin’ girl who gets raped. She’s got that Kate Winslet Syndrome. She will win one, or else. All kidding aside, she has the talent and the training to make this happen.
4. Emily Blunt
She’s already been nominated for two Golden Globes, and if she gets overlooked by the Academy this year she’ll be back. She’s not Mo’Nique (who was great in Precious, by the way) — this isn’t a one-and-done actress. She’s going to be a perennial contender. Whether it be in snappy dramedies or period peices, she owns the screen. I expect her to sizzle in the upcoming Wolfman, and to never look back all decade long.
5. Robin Wright
Her lack of a nomination proves that, more often than not, the Academy gets it wrong. She was phenomenal in Forrest Gump. So what does the Academy do? They nominate everyone who had anything to do except Wright. It received 13 nominations! I’m pretty sure Zemeckis’ gofer even got one. Regardless, she’s single now, she seems focused, and she’s aging ridiculously well. She also doesn’t take bad roles, something which can’t be said of most of her peers. That’s especially admirable when you consider that she doesn’t get a ton of great roles. In my mind, she’s an actress who is aging like fine wine. The last decade in Oscarland belonged to her ex-husband, maybe this decade will belong to her? She could even win for The Conspirator, which is set to drop this year.
Honorable mention: Christina Ricci, Evan Rachel Wood, Hope Davis, Maggie Gyllenhaall, Zoe Saldana
The fact that Christian Bale hasn’t even gotten a nomination so far is an absolute travesty! The man deserves to win. As does Jeff Daniels.
Great list and I agree with most of it. To the actresses, I’d also add Diane Lane.
Wow, this is seriously cool dude!
Great topic. Sorry to be critical, but how about Depp, Oldman, Rourke, Damon, Law, Bacon, Bridges? Most are more deserving than who you’ve listed.
I’ll never give you Scarlett. Awful in Woody Allen’s movies.
I agree but would add Shia Labeouf and Edward Norton…
Norton !
Colin Farrell?
You are kidding right?
i am so surprised there are so many fans of Jeff Daniels they are all willing to suck his dick.
John apparently never saw “In Bruges”. He should’ve been nominated for that one. It’s only a matter of time so long as he stays clear of the sex-symbol/action roles.
And not to start arguments Patrick, but it’s a list of Actors who have never been NOMINATED, not a list of great actors who have never won. Depp nominated 3 times (Sweeney Todd, Finding Neverland, Pirates) , Gary Oldman is too good for the Academy (he’ll never get one, ever, because they don’t deserve him), Mickey Rourke was nominated for The Wrestler, Matt Damon won for writing and nominated for acting in Good Will Hunting, and so on and so forth.
I think this is a great list. I love the shout out for Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Brick, plus he was great in The Lookout. 500 Days put him on everyone’s map. It won’t be long for him.
Steve Buscemi, the man has never even been nominated for an Oscar, he has had so many amazing roles and is such a highly regarded and immensely talented actor, shame on the Academy for not even giving the poor guy a nod.
to really see how good colin farrel can be given the right material see In Bruges, he’s brilliant and hilarious there
Really should add Julianne Moore to the females list, unbelievable she hasn’t won yet.
He was really good in Hulk too, right? …
