This is my list of 25 great actors that I can think of, who have never won oscar, but I think they deserve at least one, and they still have a chance to win it (means they are still alive and still acting) :) list is not in order and probably there is more actors who should get oscar, but this is just my choice...

“ He did amazing job doing Severus Snape during whole 7 movies, but especially in the last one. Other movies: Rasputin, Michael Collins... But Severus Snape is his best acting. With all respect for Academy, but I think that they made biggest mistake ever not giving him award for that role. ” - dusan-dimitrijevic4
3.Tom Cruise
Actor, Top Gun
In 1976, if you had told 14 year old Franciscan seminary student Thomas Cruise Mapother IV that one day in the not too distant future he would be considered one of the top 100 movie stars of all time, he would have probably grinned and told you that his ambition was to become a priest. Nonetheless, this sensitive...
“ Another three times oscar nominated actor. I think I like every single movie that he ever made. The Last Samurai, Top Gun, Rain Man, Born on the 4th of July, Vanilla Sky, The Color of Money, Jerry Maguire, A Few Good Man... literally every single movie is great, you can choose any movie and give him oscar for that :D ” - dusan-dimitrijevic4
