10 Incredibly Talented Actors Who Will Never Win An Oscar
7. Jamie Bell
Jamie Bell has been impressing audiences since he was a little kid and carried the surprise hit Billy Elliot, where he danced and acted his way into everyone's heart. He's one of the few child actors who has aged into an adult performer with grace, and has consistently chosen thoughtful and interesting roles. Which, sadly, is why he'll probably never end up being an Oscar-winner. He has a tendency to take on supporting roles, more comfortable as a sidekick rather than a leading man, and rarely takes on projects that are huge blockbusters. Bell also seems uneasy with the title of movie star, preferring to work on personally rewarding films rather than Oscar bait. Luckily for him, he seems perfectly fine with the idea of never taking home an Oscar, and seems to relish the life of a working actor much more than that of a celebrity.
