10 Actors You Won’t Believe Don’t Have Oscars
2. Edward Norton
After coming up empty in the 90s despite starring in Fight Club and American History X, two of the most celebrated movies of the decade, it was concerning that apparently Edward Norton wasnt ever going to get his rightful Academy due.
Even without an award, hes remained relevant, although recent years have seen a resurgence of sorts for Norton. He stole the show as a thinly-veiled version of himself in Birdman and has found his comedic side by pairing with Wes Anderson. If he keeps giving his attention to films like these, with his talent, its only a matter of time before something special clicks with viewers..
The real question is if he even cares. Norton, on top of being notoriously prickly to work with, has spoken out about the perceived monetization of the Oscars. So while he didnt go as far as Joaquin Phoenix did when he called the whole thing BS, his rough personality might keep the trophy out of his reach a little while longer.
