Beloved Actors Who Surprisingly Have Never Won An Oscar

Sometimes it feels like it’s always Meryl Streep winning an acting award of some kind. Sadly, lots of other talented actors who’ve never won an Oscar. But we keep our fingers crossed ever awards season that one of favorites will finally win.

So, hopefully, this will be the year for some of the stars on this list of actors who have never won an Oscar.

Glenn Close

The Hollywood goddess was nominated for an Oscar six times since 1983. But her work for hits like “The World According to Garp” and “The Natural” never earned her a win.

But this year, she’s nominated for her work in “The Wife.” Will she finally end her losing streak? We’re definitely keeping our fingers crossed for you, Ms. Close.

Idris Elba

Idris Elba was on “The Wire.” You might have seen him in “Star Trek Beyond.” He was also in “Thor: Ragnarok,” “The Dark Tower,” and “The Mountain Between Us” to name a few.

But despite the academy’s most diverse event yet, Elba’s name is nowhere in sight.

Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp can transform himself into anything for various roles. It’s why he’s been nominated for Best Actor for “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Finding Neverland,” and “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” Still, the man hasn’t taken home an Oscar yet.

He didn’t earn a nomination this year either. But if anyone deserves one just for being an all-around awesome actor, it’s Depp.

Amy Adams

It’s downright shocking to hear that Amy is among the actors who’ve never won an Oscar. She’s been nominated five times, but has left empty-handed every single time.

She did an incredible rendition of Lois Lane in “Superman Returns.” Surely, she deserves better, right? But since she’s nominated for her work for “Vice,” 2019 could be the year Adams finally gets to put an Oscar on her shelf.
