15 Cinema Legends You Won't Believe Have Never Won Oscars

15. Donald Sutherland

Recently seen in the Hunger Games series, Canadian screen legend Donald Sutherland has been acting for fifty years, but has shockingly never even been nominated for an Academy Award. A star of the 1960s, perhaps Sutherland's best shot at a gong was with his role in M*A*S*H*, as Hawkeye. The Golden Globes recognised him, nominating him for Best Actor, but the Oscars didn't; John Wayne instead won Best Actor that year, for his role in True Grit €“ controversially for many, who saw it as a 'thanks-for-the-career' award €“ though M*A*S*H* was nominated for Best Picture. Eleven years later, history repeated itself; Sutherland received a Golden Globe for his role in Ordinary People, but was snubbed by the Oscars, who again gave Sutherland's movie Best Picture. Robert De Niro won Best Actor that year for Raging Bull, beating the likes of John Hurt and Jack Lemmon to the award. Hurt himself has only picked up one, and that was the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema in 2006.
