10 Actors You Won’t Believe Don’t Have Oscars
9. Keira Knightley
Theres no Oscar bait story material quite like Victorian England, and Keira Knightley is the poster child for that sort of period piece. Shes starred in plenty of these prestige dramas and whenever she does any sort of historical movie, the conversation always turns to how she felt as it she truly belonged in that world
Evidently the Academy appreciates what shes doing, since Knightleys already been nominated twice, once for the lead in Pride And Prejudice, again for The Imitation Game. At this point, its a wonder if shell ever be able to make that final leap doing these kinds of movies, or if shell have to step away from what everyone expects to ultimately grab an Oscar.
It really feels as if Knightley has been around forever so its somewhat stunning to learn that shes only recently turned 32. Because she burst onto the scene at such a young age for Pirates Of The Caribbean, its almost cause to forget how much career she still has in front of her. This, in turn, means shell has plenty of opportunities to make herself ineligible for this Oscar-less classification down the line.
