Completely agree on jim Carrey. Eternal sunshine and Truman are two of my favourite films. I was never a massive fan of his performances in ace ventura or dumb or the mask but his performances were so nuanced and understated - he helped make those films so good.
@@PikeBishop65 I think it was a similar reason as to why Adam Sandler didn’t get in for Uncut Gems, even though he very feasibly could’ve. I think this was around the time Hollywood mostly saw Carrey as an over-the-top comedy actor, and weren’t ready to accept that he could do dramatic roles as well. Truman Show was his first crack at it (or at least blending his comedic chops with a dramatic role), and even though he did it exceptionally well, I guess most Academy voters weren’t ready to look past that.
James McAvoy is another one that it's baffling that he hasn't been nominated yet. He's been in multiple films that have made it into the Oscars, like The Last King Of Scotland and Atonement, and has given PHENOMENAL performances in movies like SPLIT (a movie that honestly wouldn't have worked as well as it did without his performance. LIke, he WAS that movie!). Hopefully he's another one who'll get the nomination at some point.
@@heymistercarter. bad campaign. Unfortunately now at days only actors who campaign hard received Oscar Noms. That haven't happened in the 80s and 90s when unnkown actors were nominated for little movies that were loved by international critics
I’m still convinced Split, Hereditary, Us and Midsommar didn’t get Oscar nominations because the Oscars have a clear and direct bias against horror films
I would have to say Hugo Weaving - he is an extraordinary actor - has shown great performances in films such as "The Interview", "The Adventures of Priscilla", "Oranges and Sunshine", "The Dressmaker" and "Hacksaw Ridge".
@@branagain Omg same, that's why I didn't mentioned him - Terence Stamp got into the Baftas and Golden Globes nominations with Adventures of Priscilla, sadly he didn't enter into the Oscars... Unfair.
He was brilliant in Hacksaw Ridge. The movie is set during WWII, and we see plenty of death and violence, but the part that stuck with me was Hugo Weaving dealing with the aftermath of his own experience with war.
Paul Dano could be here too. I’ve often said that his meltdown scene in Little Miss Sunshine should’ve gotten him nominated for that movie. And then he has stuff like There Will Be Blood, Ruby Sparks, PRISONERS, The Fabelmans, and The Batman… and he’s never gotten in yet? Hopefully in the future!
@@badluckboy1 because he hadnt campaign and was a last minute addition. An unknown actor was cast in Dano's role. But he dropped in the middle of the film. And thats why he have taken the role. Also there were several under 30 actors that year in these cathegory that split their votes. So older actors received the nom instead.
Glover absolutely should have gotten an Oscar let alone a nomination for the color purple. One of the greatest villain performances of all time and the film doesnt work without what he brings
John Goodman nomination would make my heart so happy. Not sure it will happen with his heavy work in tv again but I’d love to see his name pop up nomination morning
John Goodman who shines in everything he is in be it comedy or drama is my oldest grandson's favorite actor. I have told him he needs to watch him in the limited series Treme.
I've always thought it was insane that Val Kilmer has never been nominated for an Oscar, or really been in the awards conversation at all, especially considering how iconic his performance in Tombstone is.
Kevin Bacon would have been a great Oscar nominee for Murder in the First. That was the closest he's even been with a SAG nomination. Also stunning performance in The Woodsman, which no one bothers to talk about today, but they really should.
He should be a 6x nominee, but was ignored for : 2005 A History of Violence (L) 2009 The Road (Lead) 2011 A Dangerous Method (S) He also should have won for the Road. That performance is so haunting, delicate, and sublime. But that was the year of Jeff Bridges Honorary Lifetime competitive award 😢
John Goodman should have been nominated for 10 Cloverfield Lane. This nomination for a horror/thriller would be no different than awarding Kathy Bates for Misery or Anthony Hopkins for The Silence Of The Lambs. If they didn't want to give him lead actor for a horror movie, they could have pushed it to supporting, I guess, under the logic that the movie was about, and told from the perspective of, the Mary Elizabeth Winstead character.
Steve Buscemi's unforgettable performance in "Ghost World" still comes into my mind every now and then. Jon Voight being nominated for "Ali" instead is a goofy mistake.
Paul Dano should have 3 nominations by now: There Will Be Blood, Little Miss Sunshine and The Fablemans! For actresses please include Cameron Diaz, i mean, she shoulve been nominated for Theres Something About Mary, Vanilla Sky, Being John Malkovic
I agree-especially about There Will Be Blood. I think everyone was so enthralled with Daniel Day Lewis that they overlooked what a great job Paul Dano did. He not only deserved to be nominated, but probably deserved to win.
Back in 2016, I was rooting for John Goodman to finally earn the recognition for his performance in 10 Cloverfield Lane. He was so unnerving like I don't know what he is going to do next. 😢
Mel Gibson has never received a best actor nomination once in his long career. Never! Only twice for Best Director. My personal picks for Best Actor would be Ransom, The Beaver and maybe ones for Forever Young, Year of Living Dangerously, and Man Without a Face.
Ugh, Donald Sutherland is one of my favorite actors. We also share the same birthday. But his performance in "Ladder 49" was so good, as well as others.
With Man on the Moon, Carrey BECOMES Andy Kaufman. It seems bizarre that he didn't get nominated especially given the usual advantage that a good biopic role seems to give. I also really love Eternal Sunshine. (I'm personally less enthusiastic about The Truman Show.) I think the one on your list I was genuinely surprised about was Jeff Daniels. Really?!?! He's been in so many great roles through the years.
The first time I saw Carrey was in a movie called Doing Time on Maple drive. He couldn't have been more than 20. He plays the older son who's incredibly damaged by his over bearing critical father. It focuses on the younger son being gay and coming out. Pretty good film. Great cast.
Personally, I'm disappointed that so many non-English speaking actors weren't nominated. Such as: Alain Delon, Jean Lui Trintingant, Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Helmut Berger, Philip Nuare, John Lone, Lui De Funes, Pier Rishar, Jean Paul Belmondo, Vyacheslav Tikhonov.
I’ll always hold firm that the Academy messed up by not nominated Ulrich Mühe for The Lives of Others and Bruno Ganz for Downfall. Ditto Daniel Auteuil in Un coeur en Hiver / A heart in Winter.
It still blows my mind Richard Gere has barely won anything in a nearly 50 year career. Dude should have at least 3-4 Oscar nominations. Danny Glover was completely snubbed in 1986 and his performances in Beloved and To Sleep with Anger are fantastic Buscemi was ROBBED for Best Supporting Actor for Reservoir Dogs and Ghost World Goodman definitely should’ve been nominated for The Big Lebowski and 10 Cloverfield Lane I’ll even go so far to say Russell should’ve considered for The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, The Hateful Eight and Miracle Carrey not having at least one nomination is criminal. The Truman Show, The Majestic, Man on the Moon, Eternal Sunshine, I Love You Philip Morris and Cable Guy are truly fantastic performances
Have you seen "Reign Over Me"? Such an amazing performance. I've watched a few times. And I'm not a fan of his other work, but his serious work is so good. It's like with Jim Carrey, but "Eternal Sunshine" and "The Truman Show" are really great movies and performances.
I haven’t seen many movies, but I did see Kurt Russell in “Miracle” as Herb Brooks, the coach of the 1980 Olympic gold medal US hockey team. I had seen the original Olympic telecast; so I was familiar with the real Herb Brooks. Watching the movie, I thought I was seeing the actual coach of the team. Kurt Russell just WAS Herb Brooks. A great performance!
Love this posting! Agree with you fully. Steve Buscemi is the most obvious for me. Love in in Fargo and really liked him in Parting Glances (so moving).
Steve Martin deserves the Emmy this year for Only Murders in the Building, but sadly the non-comedy The Bear is in the same category and he might split some votes with his buddy Martin Short as well. His scene doing the musical number in Only Murders was amazing.
Vincent D'Onofrio for supporting role in Full Metal Jacket & Men In Black, for lead in The Whole Wide World. Missed opportunities! And then... he wrongs himself by playing in movies like Broken Horses, Chips, Lift 😟🤷
I know The Academy rarely recognizes foreign language performances, but Song Kang-ho is someone who I think should've been nominated for at least one Oscar already. If not for a movie like Memories of Murder, A Taxi Driver, or Broker, at the least he could've been nominated for Parasite since that movie did so well at the Oscars
I like Steve Buscemi in Con Air. He was amazing in that movie. That scene sharing a tea party with a little girl was incredible and damn! He Got the Whole World in His Hands.
You’re also kinda making the argument that Goodman deserved a nom for Argo over Leo in Django which is insane. Plus he had a better shot for Flight that year.
@@suarezguy I firmly believe that his work in The Lighthouse (2019) and Good Time (2017) are among those year’s best leading performances. He is only 38 years old and still has a lot of great work ahead of him though.
Steve Martin deserved a nod for the remarkable "Pennies from Heaven" (1981). The film itself received three nominations and Martin did get a Golden Globe nom (co-star Bernadette Peters won). BTW, Delroy Lindo deserved his Oscar nomination for "Malcolm X." (1992) I thought he was a lock for that one. (Al Freeman Jr. deserved recognition for that film too.)
For Richard Gere: he actually was banned by The Academy for 20 years after a moment in the 1993 awards; he was presenting an award, but ditched the script and instead made a statement about how the Chinese government was treating Tibet. A noble thought, but The Academy banned him as a result and that's probably part of why he hasn't seen a nomination.
Great, thank you. 1. Yeah, Ghost World! At first viewing, I thought, what the f/ck? Then, it turned out to be a beautiful butterfly, not a wasp. 2. John Goodman never won an Emmmy with six nominations for Lead Comedy Actor for Rosanne. He finally won an Emmy for being a guest. On Rosanne, he grounded the other nutty grownups. 3. We need to add Jeff Daniels for the Oscar Winning Best Film, Terns if Endearments. a. He was the only '
Oscar Isaac won a Golden Globe for his role as former Yonkers mayor Nick Wasicsko in the HBO miniseries Show Me a Hero. Also 2015! He was uh-may-zing in it. Like, seriously, I don't get how the Emmys and SAG slept on this one.
Malcolm McDowell would have made a great addition to this list! Would have been great to see Tim Curry too, although admittedly I don't think he was ever in the conversation.
Hi Brian, what are your thoughts on actor Emile Hirsch? (personal controversies aside) … I thought he was truly snubbed for Into The Wild, and he’s shown a lot of promise. Curious about your thoughts
Abscences not even in honorable mention: ,Dennis Quaid, Paul Dano, Armie Hammer, Daniel Brühl, Daniel Garcia Bernal. All of these were contender for more than one film.
Speaking about the honorary Oscars, is there a leaked or rumored list of people that are discussed for this award? What is even the process for awarding it? These are some interesting questions for a video on the subject :)
I can't help but think that if the people who vote on Oscar nominations watches this video they would say the same thing all of us are saying..."what? Really? How?!!" That's why I feel like the lifetime achievement award is. It's the "Oops! We forgot to recognize you before so here's this other thing!" Lol
Well, it's easy to say that, but a lot of times there are just better performances that particular year Critics awards sort of start the process to the main guild awards
I think Buscemi (admittedly it’s an awkward 1 amazing cast - but different people at different times - and it is Tarantino - but Buscemi stands out the most in Reservoir Dogs in my humble
I would argue that Ewan McGregor could have also been nominated for The Impossible. His performance was so moving and emotional even more than Naomi Watts I would say who actually got nominated..
I believe Jim Carrey should have won the Best Actor award for "Eternal Sunshine". Jamie Foxx did an amazing job in "Ray", but in the end it was yet ANOTHER paint-by-number bio. But if he didn't win, at least he should've replaced Johnny Depp as a nominee. Did anyone actually watch "Finding Neverland" and enjoy it? Does anyone even remember that movie exists?
your #1 is so so so correct. i recall him presenting an award at the 1999 ceremony and making a perfectly-nuanced remark about that being the only reason he was there that night. stung like crazy and made me adore him even more.
Paul Dano should most certainly be near the top of the list, as he has given two performances in which he came close to getting nominated, Love and Mercy (which he arguably should have won for) and The Fabelmans. I also think Jeff Daniels should have won for Terms of Endearment, not Nicholson, and the Lithgow nomination could go. But yeah, Carey is unquestionably number one.

He's a great actor. I think they don't nominate him because he mostly does genre films.
YES! It’s Insane he never got nominated for Split or Atonement. He didn’t get nominated for the movie Filfth either
@@heymistercarter. bad campaign. Unfortunately now at days only actors who campaign hard received Oscar Noms. That haven't happened in the 80s and 90s when unnkown actors were nominated for little movies that were loved by international critics

100% agree. I would also add. For Vendetta. He carried that movie on voice alone
@@MarcioDAstrain I liked Terence Stamp in Adventures of Priscilla, but he already has a nomination.
@@branagain Omg same, that's why I didn't mentioned him - Terence Stamp got into the Baftas and Golden Globes nominations with Adventures of Priscilla, sadly he didn't enter into the Oscars... Unfair.
Totally agree. I though for a moment he was going to be nominated for ‘Hacksaw ridge’, but sadly didn’t happen.
He was brilliant in Hacksaw Ridge. The movie is set during WWII, and we see plenty of death and violence, but the part that stuck with me was Hugo Weaving dealing with the aftermath of his own experience with war.
Worst thing about this is that most of these people deserve at least one while many undeserving performances got in before them

Aw fuck he snubbed Dano. That’s a no brainer top 10 dude for this

It still breaks my heart a little every time I watch Tombstone because Val Kilmer’s performance was completely ignored during awards season.
@NikkiC-hl3bg but it was a bad timing and it was a stiff competition.
Kevin Bacon would have been a great Oscar nominee for Murder in the First. That was the closest he's even been with a SAG nomination. Also stunning performance in The Woodsman, which no one bothers to talk about today, but they really should.
Should have been nominated. He won 1995 critics choice and The Woodsman he's brilliant in
Was just coming to comment about his performance in The Woodsman, so underrated
He also to me was the unsung hero in Mystic River as the Oscar winning performance of that film hinged on his...
Also, although he's been nominated multiple times...Viggo Mortensen needs to win!
He should be a 6x nominee, but was ignored for :
2005 A History of Violence (L)
2009 The Road (Lead)
2011 A Dangerous Method (S)
He also should have won for the Road. That performance is so haunting, delicate, and sublime. But that was the year of Jeff Bridges Honorary Lifetime competitive award 😢
John Cusack should’ve been nominated for Being John Malkovich!
Con Air, High Fidelity and especially, The Grifters,
Cameron Diaz’s best performance, too
...and The Ice Harvest.
I would add John Cusack. And regarding Steve Martin, I thought he’d get a nomination for Spanish Prisoner.
"All of Me"

John Goodman is great in that movie but I think his performances in Barton Fink, The Big Lebowski, Argo and Raising Arizona were more Oscar-worthy
@@SS4Luxray yes both!
Kevin Bacon should have definitely been nominated for “Murder In The First”!
Absolutely! He was incredible!
Another performance THE WOODSMAN.
I didn't think he was that good
I found him way over the top

Ex machina is one of the most underrated films of that decade. What a shame Oscar Isaac was not nominated
Oscar isaac should had also nominated and maybe won for inside Llewellyn davis
James McAvoy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt too, Brian. 😭
The fact that Kurt Russell wasn’t even nominated for playing Herb Brooks in Miracle is absolutely unbelievable-he literally lost himself in that role!
Steve Buscemi's unforgettable performance in "Ghost World" still comes into my mind every now and then. Jon Voight being nominated for "Ali" instead is a goofy mistake.
He should have been nominated for Fargo. He was fantastic!!
I agree! I would have swapped him out for James Woods in the very mid and unmemorable Ghosts of Mississippi. o@@nancydemoss2945
not putting him at the top of the list or anything, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt is definitely someone I’d like to see get a nomination…
You should do the female version next! The’re so many extraordinary actresses, who’ve never been nominated.
As a Brit, I'm hoping that Jack 'O Connell, Nicholas Hoult and Leo Woodall all get nominations in the next few years.
🤣🤣🤣the 1-2 seconds of Ben Affleck before announcing John Goodman was great comedic timing
I gasped like naw
Bruce Willis is another one
John Goodman should've won Best Supporting Actor Oscar for The Big Lebowski.

I agree-especially about There Will Be Blood. I think everyone was so enthralled with Daniel Day Lewis that they overlooked what a great job Paul Dano did. He not only deserved to be nominated, but probably deserved to win.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time.
Both a fantastic movie and a movie with so much great acting. Two things that don’t always appear together.

Year of living dangerously
He's a racist POS.
Great choice for a video looking forward to seeing what you have for best actress
Donald Southerland, Ewan McGregor, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi should have all have at least one nomination to their name if not more.
Ugh, Donald Sutherland is one of my favorite actors. We also share the same birthday. But his performance in "Ladder 49" was so good, as well as others.
Buscemi deserved several.
Ewan McGregor is dreadful
Val Kilmer, should have been nominated for Tombstone or The Doors

David Thewlis? I thought he deserved an Oscar nomination for ‘Naked’ (for which he won best actor at Cannes). He’s tremendous and has so much range.
Richard Gere not being nominated for Arbitrage was a crime
And Chicago -- his lack of a nomination for Chicago is really baffling.
There should be separate categories for acting for comedy and drama just like they do in the Emmys.

Ted Levine in Silence of the Lanbs!!!
That would have been a GREAT best supporting actor nod.
Eggman and Knuckles on the list hell yeah 😎
Breakdown has to be one of the most underrated movies ever!
It's a great movie to watch with someone who hasn't seen it before.
Agreed Steve Buscemi should have been nominated many times, many times deserved to win, and was particularly robbed with Ghost World.
With the way it swept in 2004 (including Best Picture), Sean Astin REALLY should've been nominated (& won) for The Return of the King
Thinking of British actors. Robert Carlyle has an impressive body of work. Must have been close to a nom for the Full Monty
Hi Brian, what are your thoughts on actor Emile Hirsch? (personal controversies aside) … I thought he was truly snubbed for Into The Wild, and he’s shown a lot of promise. Curious about your thoughts
Abscences not even in honorable mention: ,Dennis Quaid, Paul Dano, Armie Hammer, Daniel Brühl, Daniel Garcia Bernal.
All of these were contender for more than one film.
Speaking about the honorary Oscars, is there a leaked or rumored list of people that are discussed for this award? What is even the process for awarding it? These are some interesting questions for a video on the subject :)
Yes, and it's hard to imagine Harrison Ford has yet to receive an honorary Oscar.
@@johnnolan5579 yeah, he’s definitely deserving of such recognition.
The John Goodman one is insane
Just an FYI, Elvis (1979) was a TV Movie, not a mini-series. Love the channel.
I can't help but think that if the people who vote on Oscar nominations watches this video they would say the same thing all of us are saying..."what? Really? How?!!"
That's why I feel like the lifetime achievement award is. It's the "Oops! We forgot to recognize you before so here's this other thing!" Lol
Well, it's easy to say that, but a lot of times there are just better performances that particular year
Critics awards sort of start the process to the main guild awards
I think Buscemi (admittedly it’s an awkward 1 amazing cast - but different people at different times - and it is Tarantino - but Buscemi stands out the most in Reservoir Dogs in my humble
No. I think the guy that cut the ear was the standout.
I would argue that Ewan McGregor could have also been nominated for The Impossible. His performance was so moving and emotional even more than Naomi Watts I would say who actually got nominated..
Great pick. The Beginners too. Plummer got nominated
Crazy that E. MacGregor has never been nominated for an Oscar! 😮And he should have gotten an Emmy for his work in Fargo.
I believe Jim Carrey should have won the Best Actor award for "Eternal Sunshine". Jamie Foxx did an amazing job in "Ray", but in the end it was yet ANOTHER paint-by-number bio. But if he didn't win, at least he should've replaced Johnny Depp as a nominee. Did anyone actually watch "Finding Neverland" and enjoy it? Does anyone even remember that movie exists?
Mads Mikkelsen! I would say for The Hunt & Another Round! Plus the actor from Tangerines!
Kurt Russel was great in "Swing Swift", "Tequila Sunrise", and "Tombstone"
I’ve seen Breakdown. Back when it came out out. Always underrated
your #1 is so so so correct. i recall him presenting an award at the 1999 ceremony and making a perfectly-nuanced remark about that being the only reason he was there that night. stung like crazy and made me adore him even more.
I'd probably move Kevin Bacon from runners-up to the top 10, though I might have a hard time chucking one of your choices (maybe Kurt Russell).
Paul Dano should most certainly be near the top of the list, as he has given two performances in which he came close to getting nominated, Love and Mercy (which he arguably should have won for) and The Fabelmans. I also think Jeff Daniels should have won for Terms of Endearment, not Nicholson, and the Lithgow nomination could go.
But yeah, Carey is unquestionably number one.
I had no idea Richard Gere was never nominated. Oh my goodness, Goodman, Glover, and Russell are so worthy. Yes, Carrey is the ONE.
Jeff Daniels
