The Best Never-Nominated Club: 2019

Iconic performances, scene-stealing turns in Oscar nominated movies, big names in the industry, great careers and widespread recognition... there are actors who check all these boxes that the AMPAS hasn't yet recognized with (at least) one Oscar nomination.

We are in the warm pre-awards season months and people are already publishing their contenders - some of them benefit from the "overdue for an Oscar nod" factor - and some of them appear on this list. "The Best Never-Nominated Club" hopes to recognize the efforts of some of the most respectable movie names working these days and give them visibility so people (and Oscar voters) don't forget they're still waiting for some Oscar consideration.
