1. Leonardo DiCaprio(01 of11)
Open Image ModalHe’s played the lead in a string of blockbusters from ‘Titanic’ and ‘Romeo + Juliet’ to ‘Inception’ and ‘The Great Gatsby’, but Leonardo DiCaprio has still - 20 years after first being nominated - never won an Academy Award. At this rate it’s going to take the role of a lifetime for the actor to get his Oscar. (credit:Getty Images)
2. Brad Pitt(02 of11)
Open Image ModalDespite having appeared in a number of critically acclaimed films, Brad has never won an Academy Award for his acting. However, this year he was one of the producers of ‘12 Years A Slave’, which scooped the Best Picture prize. (credit:PA)
3. Glenn Close(03 of11)
Open Image ModalShe’s been nominated for an Academy Award a whopping six times, yet Glenn Close has never won in her category, although with three Tonys, two Golden Globes and three Emmys to her name, we’re sure she’s not too concerned. (credit:Getty Images)
4. Johnny Depp(04 of11)
Open Image ModalThanks to roles in the likes of ‘Edward Scissorhands’, the ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ series, ‘Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas’ and even ‘Sweeney Todd’, Johnny Depp has proven himself as an incredibly versatile actor. Unfortunately this hasn’t translated into Academy Awards, despite three nominations. (credit:Getty Images)
5. Michelle Pfeiffer(05 of11)
Open Image ModalIn a career spanning over three decades, Michelle has been nominated for an Oscar on three different occasions. However, she’s never won an Academy Award, not even for her amazing performance as the leading lady in ‘Grease 2’. What an oversight. (credit:PA)
6. Sir Ian McKellen(06 of11)
Open Image ModalHe might be one of the most celebrated British actors of stage and screen, but apparently that’s not enough for Sir Ian to bag an Oscar. The last time he was nominated was back in 2001, for his portrayal of Gandalf the Grey in the first ‘Lord of the Rings’ film. Surely an Academy Award for this acting giant is long overdue?

7. Tom Cruise(07 of11)
Open Image ModalWith all the constant furor surrounding Tom Cruise’s personal life, it’s not hard to forget that he is a legitimate actor. He has been nominated for three Oscars over the course of his career, although he’s never come out on top in his category. (credit:Getty Images)
8. Amy Adams(08 of11)
Open Image ModalAdmittedly Amy Adams is not the most A-list star on this list, but she’s now been nominated for five Oscars, only to leave empty-handed. In 2014 the ‘American Hustle’ star was beat to the prize of Best Actress by Cate Blanchett. (credit:PA)
9. Toni Collette(09 of11)
Open Image ModalDespite massive critical acclaim for a number of her roles, and a nomination for 'The Sixth Sense', Toni has never managed to scoop an Academy Award. (credit:Mike Pont via Getty Images)
10. Ewan McGregor(10 of11)
Open Image ModalHe’s the star of ‘Trainspotting’, ‘Moulin Rouge!’ and ‘Star Wars’ among countless others, but Ewan McGregor has never won an Oscar, and in fact it may surprise you to hear he has never even been nominated for one. So you see, Leo, things could be a lot worse... (credit:PA)
11. Bill Murray(11 of11)
Open Image ModalThe story goes that at the Academy Awards in 2003, Bill Murray had been nominated for the Best Actor award for his part in ‘Lost In Translation’. Apparently he’d arrived at the ceremony sure he’d be taking home the Oscar, so when Sean Penn was announced as the winner, a stony-faced Bill Murray didn’t even applaud. Ouch. He hasn’t been nominated for an Academy Award since, which we’re sure is just coincidence... (credit:Getty Images)
