They’re still waiting for the coveted statuette.
For every Meryl Streep with 19 nominations and 3 Oscars in Hollywood there is definitely an actress who, for all his talent, never received the cherished statuette. We invite you to remember 10 great Actresses will never win an Oscar.
I find that very hard to believe, but for more than 30 years of his remarkable career Helena Bonham Carter has received only 2 nominations for “Oscar” as best actress for her role in the 1997 film the Wings of the dove” and as best supporting actress for her role in the 2010 film “King says!”. Helena Bonham Carter for decades showed a wide acting range, equally brilliant playing and in the adaptation of Shakespeare in big-budget blockbusters, and even musicals. Connoisseurs of non-standard Hollywood movie will always remember Carter as Marla singer in “Fight club”. Of course, the actress does not need awards, proving her talent — it is so obvious, but still “Oscar” in the record of Helena would be most welcome.
Rosario Dawson never received one nomination for the prestigious award, which is especially surprising when you consider that since 1995, the actress regularly starred in an independent movie. However, Rosario Dawson has a role in big-budget films — including “sin City” and “death Proof”. Whether because of the lack of “Oscar”, whether out of a desire to try something new, lately Rosario Dawson is not in the movies and the TV series — not so long ago, can be seen in the Marvel series “Daredevil” and “Jessica Jones”.
Since the first appearance in the TV series “Dawson’s Creek” Michelle Williams has come a long way — and managed to build a career far more impressive than her former colleagues on the set. International fame Michelle Williams won for his role of the second plan in a film “Brokeback mountain,” which also gave the actress her first nomination for “Oscar”. Surprisingly, none of the subsequent roles — including in the movies “Valentine” and “7 days and nights with Marilyn”, for which Williams also received a nomination for “Oscar” — never gave the actress a coveted statuette.
Perhaps the name alfre Woodard is not too familiar to a wide audience, but the actress for his spanning career several decades managed to get almost all the awards in film, television and on the stage — except for the “Oscar” (for comparison, in its summary includes as much as 4 Emmy awards and a record 18 nominations). On stage and screen alfre Woodard appears regularly already since 70-ies, being one of the few truly professional Actresses, which always performs its task. Today, perhaps, the film Academy is already owed to the actress not just an Oscar, but the award for contribution to cinema Lifetime Achievement Award, given the impressive track record Woodard.
Maggie Gyllenhaal grew up in a Hollywood family — her parents worked as Directors, writers and producers, and brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, was also a famous actor. However, about any protection and there can be no — talent actress has long been appreciated by audiences and critics. The only higher rating, which in summary Maggie Gyllenhaal is still missing is “Oscar”. Only today a Maggie nomination for “Oscar” came in 2009 – its the actress received for her role in “Crazy heart”.
The first winning fame by filming in Mexican movies and television series, Salma Hayek literally stormed Hollywood in 1995, starring in “Desperado” with Antonio Banderas. Perhaps one of the most prominent of her roles was the role in the movie “Frida” (2002), a very personal project of Salma Hayek about Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and her love story with artist Diego Rivera. For this film, Salma Hayek was nominated for “Oscar” in the category “Best actress”, but in the end – and, according to many, totally unfair — competition lost Nicole Kidman (“the Hours”). Beauty, sex appeal and a very bright person Salma Hayek, surprisingly, still failed to impress the film Academy USA.
Having started his Hollywood career with the success of the sequel “Grease”, Michelle Pfeiffer soon became one of the most popular Actresses of the 80s and early 90s. In the record of Michelle Pfeiffer that there are only 3 nominations for “Oscar”, the last of which she received in 1992 — over 20 years ago! During its long career of Michelle Pfeiffer excelled in virtually all genres — from drama and action to Comedy and musical, he played many diverse roles – from the “cat-Woman” to “Persons with a scar”, but, nevertheless, has not received “Oscar”.
Fans of American television series Angela Bassett known primarily for her role in “American horror story”, but in fact, during his career spanning nearly 30 years, the actress flashed in many more interesting roles. Unfortunately, really good, worthy of “Oscar” roles for women in Hollywood is a rarity, and the less they appear with age. As a result, in the last few years, Angela, and did not get “Oscar”, almost completely switched to TV — and, for example, shone in the last 3 seasons of “American horror story”.
The lack of “Oscar” at this, without exaggeration, legendary Actresses like Annette Bening, will be a real shock. Her acting career began from the stage — she made her debut on Broadway and even earned a nomination for the prestigious Tony award, and then moved on to Hollywood, where her career truly blossomed. During his career, Annette Bening has received 4 nominations for “Oscar” for roles in “the Grifters” (1990), “American Beauty” (1999), “Theatre” (2004), the Kids are all right (2010), but the cherished statuette and won.
Viola Davis is one of those truly deep and strong actress who can “beat” almost anyone who is with her in the same frame. During his career, viola Davis received a variety of awards from the theatrical award “Tony” in 2001 and 2010 to the “Emmy” for his role in the series “How to get away with murder,” but “Oscar”, the actress is still there, despite 2 nominations. In the talent, Davis is obviously impossible to deny — his first nomination for “Oscar” it received in 2008 for her supporting role in the film “Doubt”, and although on screen she has appeared in just one scene, playing viola is so impressed the Academy that the actress was nominated for “Oscar”. In 2008 in the fight for the award Davies lost to Penelope Cruz (“Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona”), in 2011 — Meryl Streep (“the Iron lady”).
