Yet, in the midst of all the fanfare and red carpet razzle-dazzle, there's a surprising list of actors, brimming with talent and charisma, who have never had their moment in the Oscar spotlight – almost shockingly, to be honest.
Those are the actors who, despite delivering performances that left audiences spellbound, are still waiting for their name to be enclosed in that golden envelope.
It's almost like a secret club, the kind where you wouldn't expect to see these faces, because really, how have they not won an Oscar yet?
This list is like a walk through an alternate reality of Hollywood, where some of the most iconic names, the ones we've seen light up the screen time and again with performances that range from heart-wrenching to awe-inspiring, have somehow slipped through the Oscars' net.
They've come heartbreakingly close, stirring up Oscar buzz with roles that should have been a shoo-in for a win, leaving fans and critics alike scratching their heads when their names weren't called.
