Who has been nominated repeatedly but never won an Oscar?

Answer 1

Conrad Salinger (August 30, 1901 – July 9, 1961) was an American arranger, orchestrator and composer.

Salinger orchestrated most of the musicals that MGM is famous for, among them the 1943 version of Girl Crazy, Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), Anchors Aweigh (1945), the 1949 film version of On the Town, the 1950 film version of Annie Get Your Gun, the 1951 screen adaptation of Show Boat, the 1953 film version of Kiss Me, Kate, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), An American in Paris (1951), The Band Wagon (1953), and Gigi (1958).Salinger never won an Oscar.

Also
Throughout her career, Ritter was nominated for an Academy Award six times but never received one. She co-hosted the Oscar ceremony in 1954, trading wisecracks with Bob Hope.
Also
Richard Burton
He was nominated seven times for an Academy Award, but never won. For many years, he tied with Becket co-star Peter O'Toole for the most nominations for a male actor for an acting Oscar without winning until 2007 when an elderly O'Toole received an eighth nomination. (O'Toole also received an Honorary Academy Award in 2003).

Answer 4

Judy was robbed, I think , Grace Kelly was in a film that was less than memorable, The Country Girl,seriously, anyways, Judy was on somewhat of a comeback , a slap to the face for Hollywood. Judy was just got dropped from MGM, where she became very successful and starred in many of their films, most notably The Wizard Of Oz(her most famous film), Meet Me In St.Louis, (where she met the father of her child Liza Minnelli) so this was her departure from MGM, it was a Warner Brothers film, she looked so beautiful in it, as usual she delivered with her singing , and her acting was superb as a struggling, singer with an alcoholic husband, sadly Judy lost but her role in that film will live on forever.Peter O'Toole really deserved that Oscar, Claude Rains was amazing as an supporting actor Casablanca, but so was Margaret Hamilton in her terrifying Performance in The Wizard Of Oz, and last but not least, its a shame Debbie Reynolds, lost to Julie Andrews for her weak Performance in my opinion for Mary Poppins, I enjoyed it but to silly for an Oscar.

Answer 5

Martin Scorsese.

Martin Scorsese.

Answer 7

Tom Cruise, crazy weird short guy that he is...

Possibly a good thing, the Oscar statue might be taller than he!! They would probably also have to lower the lecturn for him to give his acceptance speech, or bring out a little box to stand on... but hey, that might bring a bit of much needed humour to these events!

Answer 8

Peter O'Toole.

He's been nominated eight times, never won.

Answer 9

I believe director Martin Scorsese is one.

Answer 10

Eddie Murphy!!
