Add your contenders but mine is Ralph Fiennes, I'm hoping this will be his year.

I’m also rooting for Mr Fiennes ☺️

Johnny Depp started off a good actor then jammed it up and is now dreadful, he's the same in every film now!

Glenn Close should have won in the past, I don't know about now.

Imtheslimshady · 24/01/2025 18:52

Johnny Depp has only ever played Johnny Depp, and now his personal life and abusive behaviour will probably prevent him ever being offered an oscar worthy film.

I know Leonardo Dicaprio had won one now but he deserved one for so many roles (What's eating Gilbert Grape, Redemption Road. Shutter Island...to name a few off the top of my head)

ShelfObsessed · 24/01/2025 18:54

I also came here to say Ralph Fiennes.

TheCrenchinglyMcQuaffenBrothers · 24/01/2025 18:55

Glenn Close and Annette Bening

cherrylips · 26/01/2025 00:26

Yes I’d love Ralph Fiennes to win an oscar too!

MrWise · 26/01/2025 00:28

Tom Cruise

KitMg · 26/01/2025 11:45

Jim Carrey has never even been nominated. Truman show? Eternal sunshine?

Elderflower14 · 26/01/2025 12:08

Now deceased but Cary Grant should have won an Oscar... So many excellent roles. He got an honarary Oscar but he should have got a real Oscar!!

Ralph Fiennes deserving but not for Conclave. Should have got it for Quiz Show.

HRTQueen · 26/01/2025 12:13

Glenn Close

she is a fantastic actress and been nominated a number of times

i think some actors/directors are just more in favour they choose the right films to be in/to direct and more likely to win an Oscar a number of times many will believe the wrong choice was made

R Fiennes
L DiCaprio
T Cruise
J Carrey

Forgot Leo won one but he deserved it ages ago. It's weird how some have to really work for it & others don't.

Lentilweaver · 26/01/2025 12:24

Leonardo has got one.

Lentilweaver · 26/01/2025 12:26

Willem Dafoe.

How did Ralph Fiennes not win an Oscar for The English Patient? Also why the hell did he agree to the film Maid in Manhatten with J Lo. That was dreadful.

Ah yes, Gilbert Grape and Willy Wonka are exactly the same people.

Toni collette
Willem Dafoe

James McAvoy. He was brilliant in Split and Glass.

Harrison Ford.
