10 Actors You Won’t Believe Don’t Have Oscars

You€™d be forgiven if you too often wondered if Samuel L. Jackson was in every movie ever made. He€™s got an insanely diverse acting history and he€™s been in so many good movies that it€™s easy to forget about his lack of success at the Oscars.

Even more shocking is that he€™s only ever been nominated once, for Best Supporting Actor in Pulp Fiction. Ever since losing out there, Jackson seemed to have made peace with the whole ordeal and moved on to movies he was interested in, as opposed to devoting himself to trying to win awards.

Nevertheless, every time he stars in a Quentin Tarantino movie, he€™s setting himself up for another awards season run. Even if he was passed over for The Hateful Eight this year, Jackson is constantly starring in so many good movies with great directors that you€™ve got to figure one of these days he€™ll get properly rewarded, even if it€™s really for his legacy and not one singular outing.

Were you shocked by any of these names? Who can you believe doesn€™t have an Oscar? Let us know in the comments.
