Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey is a great comedian and actor - but at the Oscars, humor doesn't seem to be in high demand. Carrey was never nominated for an Oscar. Not even his more serious roles in films like The Truman Show or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind were considered for a nomination. Pretty bad luck...

Glenn Close

Glenn Close has already been nominated for an Oscar seven times! She has never won, a fact that many film critics find incomprehensible because there are only a few women who can play a role as incredibly convincing as Close. She was nominated again in 2019 for her role in The Wife but did NOT win.
