The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, (AMPAS), only grants 10 slots to honour excellence in performance. If you add all the snubs from the lead category to the total, you will get a staggering number. These are actors who were not nominated for leading roles in major movies but had their supporting roles cancelled. And, sadly, these talented actors have been screwed over at least once.
Will Smith
Oscars nominated a lot of people, but Will Smith has never been one. His chance may come soon. He is expected to win Best Actor for King Richard. Smith was previously nominated twice for Ali, 2002, and The Pursuit of Happiness 2007, in 2007.
Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain has never been nominted for an Academy Award, but that shouldn't matter. Many consider her the next Meryl Streep, despite her successful acting career. However, her acting career was not as successful as she hoped. Although she tried to become a political activist, her inability to take on controversial topics was a major problem. Thankfully, Chastain has a good chance of a nomination.
Jeff Daniels
Jeff Daniels has been honored with many awards throughout his career. Despite all these awards, he has yet to win the Oscar. His greatest accomplishment is his inability to be recognized by the Academy. Is this really a problem? Let's take a look below at why Jeff Daniels wasn't awarded an Oscar.
Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney has been nominated only three times for an Oscar in her long career. In 1987, she was nominated for Best Actress for Alien and in 1989 for "Working Girl." But she has never won the Oscar. Her impressive resume and amazing work should not stop us from considering her. Despite her long list of nominations, she's never won a major award, and her career still has a lot of work ahead of her.
Steve Buscemi
Steve Buscemi, an American actor, has been a strong character actor for American movies over the past four decades. His films include "The Big Lebowski", Ghost World, and "The Death of Stalin." He has always displayed charisma and charm in all these films. Yet, he has not been nominated for an Oscar. It's disappointing that Buscemi, an actor of over 30 years, hasn't been given the recognition he deserved.
Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts is a remarkable actress, and although she hasn't been nominated in an Academy Award category, her role in 2001’s The Thin Red Line was a great success. This movie portrays a bubbly blonde from Deep River Ontario who dreams about launching an acting career in Hollywood. In her shower, she finds an amnesiac brunette. Watts shows the subversive impulses hiding beneath her sunny facade. Her audition scene with an older actor is particularly brilliant.
John Goodman
John Goodman was not nominated for an Academy Award because of many factors, but none as impressive as his numerous other roles. For one thing, Goodman has acted in critically acclaimed comedies and serious films, and is often regarded as one of the finest actors in the business. The actor has been well-received by critics as well as audiences, despite his inability to win any nominations.
FAQ
Why is Hollywood calling this Hollywood?
D.W. Griffith founded the first film industry in California in 1887. It was named after Los Angeles, at the time known as Hollywood.
The name stuck because it was such an exciting place for people to visit. People would come from all over just to see what was happening there.
Hollywood is still an integral part of American culture. We have movies, television shows, music videos, commercials, etc. These are all known as Hollywood.
What is the annual salary of Hollywood?
Production costs on average for a movie are around $100 million. So if you made ten movies a year for a decade, you'd have enough money to buy a small country.
You would have your own island, including an airport, a power station, a bank and a post office.
If this doesn't sound fun, you are insane.
How much does it cost for a feature movie to be distributed?
A distribution deal can cost anywhere from $100,000 to $150,000.

Screens cost on average around $5,000
It means that, if you have 100 screens your distribution fees would be $500,000.
Distribution fees for ten screens would amount to $50,000
