These days an Oscar snub is almost a badge of honor

Oscar 97, and Sorry, Pamela, you are not on the invitation list. But you are comfortable, you are in a very good company.

Every year, Snubs collects inevitable when Oscar collects his dance card. Wags and critics in the various circles this season predict that Pamela anderson (“The Last Showgirl”)), Daniel Craig (“Queer”) or Margaret Qually (“Article”), among other things, you may press the list.

But if any of these talents that cannot be forgiven, know that You are still good enough.

Simply listen to this brief list of bright actors whose names have never been pronounced as part of an early roll call: Meg Ryan, Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Grant, Glenn Ford, Donald Sutherland …

Donald Sarland!?! Yes, the actor whose career spanned six -decade and included titles such as “Mash”, “Do not look now” and “Snatches” and “PRIDE & Prejudice” who did not walk on the Academy carpet as a candidate. Perhaps the biggest insult came in 1981 when “ordinary people” chose nominations for the best image (winner), director (Robert Redford, winner), actress (Mary Tyler Moore) and supporter (Timothy Hyton, winner). Even Jude Hirsch was nominated to support the actor. But no Sutherland, it can be said that the film turned.

The Academy tried to make amendments, and Sarland handed over Oscar Fakhry in 2017. But those awards “Thanks for play” do not count – explicit nominations in competitive acting races only, please.

How can Ryan be overlooked for “when Harry Sally met”? Bruce Willis about “The Sixth Sense”? Jeff Daniels on “Conditions of Love” or “The purple rose of Cairo”? Gibson’s tendency for “brave” or “the year of living is dangerous”? Even Jennifer Lopez for “Selena” or “fraudsters”?

If nominated, Ryan would be against Jessica Tandy winning for the “leadership of Miss Daisi”. Other candidates of that year were Pauline Collins (“Sherley Valentine”), Isabel Eugenie (“Camel Claude”), Michelle Phaleus Baker Boys) and Jessica Lang (“The Music Box”) – all wonderful offers. But after 35 years, what role is still hesitant in popular culture (“I will have what she has”)?

The Academy Awards ceremony should not be a popular competition, although it sometimes feels this way.

And if so, it is certain that Monroe, one of the Hollywood queens in the 1950s, would have accommodated for any number of offers that were escalated according to time and re -evaluation. Besides her iconic comic roles in the movie “Some Like It Hot” and “The Seven Year ITCH”, the most dramatic turns in “Bus Station” and “The Misfits” may have got a more attention notice. And voters an act Choose giving gestures to her men participating in “Jack Lemmon” and “BUS” (Don Murray).

Then there are those who can just raise their presence of materials to the prizes. Peter Sarsgard, Catherine Uhara, Alfred Molina, Kevin Bacon, Thandiwi Newton, Mia Faru, Parker Bossi, Ewan MacGregor … No, is not a single nomination here.

If you expand the conversation to those nominated but the deal is not closed with Oscar, the censorship may be more amazing.

This includes what is clear-eight times the bridesmaids of Jalin, “Susan Loki from the Oscars”-in addition to the legends of the Golden Age-Kary Grant, Greta Garbo, Barbara Stanwik, Charlie Chaplin, etc. Later, Datinee Idols (and talented actors) who ended the vacant professions played a series of Doris Day (the best box office star in 1960, 62, 63 and 64), Dibora Care and Lauren Pacal to Richard Burton, Robert Michom and Monttegamry Cleef.

Sometimes a simple issue of bad time. In his first picnic, his candidate eventually watched Peter Outol, the high performance of “Lawrence of Arabic” against Atikos Vinci, the beloved of Gregory Beck in “to kill the emulator.” Beck’s nomination was the fifth and last, and the award fell. He did not.

All film enthusiasts have a personal favorite who believes that they have been shameful. In my opinion, three wonderful actresses danced with Oscar several times without taking Gold Man to the house: Jane Alexander, Joan Allen, and the late Gina Rolands.

Between 1971 and 1984, Alexander was nominated four times; Her performance in “all the president of the president” and “Kramer versus Karamer” still is major lessons today. Now it was a creative explosion from 1996 to 2001 with three names (“Nixon”, “The Crucible”, “The Contenter”). Distinguished, Rolands was nominated only twice, for “a woman under influence” and “Gloria”. In 2015, the Academy at Takfir tried with a Fakhri Cup. You know where to stand on that.

Some of the former candidates who can (Winnbub) corrected some former candidates when a great role comes: Annette Pining (!), Segorney Weaver, Samuel Jackson, Amy Adams, Michelle Williams, Dibra Winger, Mark Rovalo, Miranda Richardson, Jennifer Jason Lee, John Travolta , Naomi WhatsApp, Laura Lenny, Tom Cruise …

I read this right. One only needs to see “Born on the Fight of JULY” and “Magnolia” and even “Tropic Thunder” to know that he has representative pieces and deserves to walk to the platform (although in his condition, he can be highly speed).

John Travolta was nominated for his performance at “Saturday Night Fever”, but he lost to Richard Drivus from “The Goodbye Girl”.

When Travolta got his first nominations for “Saturday Night Fever”, his rival Bueon included in “Equus”, in his seventh and last nomination. Both lost to Richard Drivus in “The Goodbye Girl”. In the same year, an unknown actor made a decisive notice of the small raw performance in “searching for Mr. Goodbar”. Richard Gear has not been nominated for this movie, for “The Days of Heaven”, “An Officer and Nabil”, “Chicago” or anything that followed.

So what can he and the forests this season of all this?

Simple: Academy Awards are Crapshoot. Sometimes it wins, often loses … and sometimes the game does not enter.
