40 Actors Who Should Have Oscar Nominations by Now: Hugh Grant, Oscar Isaac, Zendaya and More
Variety lists 40 actors who've never been Oscar nominated but deserve to be including Jim Carrey, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Donald Sutherland and more.
French actor Tahar Rahim is starting to break out significantly, especially after landing a BAFTA nom for his work as a wrongfully imprisoned man in “The Mauritanian.” However, he’s had a strong fanbase with roles in Jacques Audiard’s “A Prophet,” which was nominated for international feature for France, and Asghar Farhadi’s “The Past,” which was sadly underrated in its respective year along with star Bérénice Bejo. It was pretty daunting to consider her best work when considering her exceptional sexual tension opposite George Clooney in “Out of Sight” and her daring and charismatic stripper from “Hustlers.” Ultimately, her transformation into the “Queen of Tejano Music,” Selena Quintanilla, in Gregory Nava’s biographical drama about a life cut too short, stands as her most significant endeavor (yet). While fans of Quentin Tarantino will say her Bridget von Hammersmark in “Inglourious Basterds” sits as her Oscar snub (shown by her nom for a SAG Award for supporting actress), it’s her vengeful turn in Fatih Akin’s masterful “In the Fade” — where she plays a woman whose husband and son are killed by Neo-Nazis — that stands as her absolute brightest moment yet.
