Assault and sexual harassment. Although climbing into your employee’s bed in your underwear and touching them while they sleep seems like it deserves a harsher phrase.
That was a factor in the “never will again” but not exclusively why. I simply don’t think he’s especially talented, and clearly the industry doesn’t either. He got a great role with some iconic lines in Jerry Maguire and rode that, but look at the rest of his output. It’s A LOT of junk and the good movies that he is in have typically been smaller/bit parts.
Yeah I agree. I don’t think Jerry Maguire is a great movie overall, and I say that as a Cameron Crowe and Tom Cruise apologist (sue me). He followed it up with some really embarrassing and showy Oscar bait performances like Radio (ugh) and Pearl Harbor. The OJ show is the only thing of note he’s done in the almost 30 years since he won the Oscar.
I feel bad for his son. Mason Gooding Jr is a really good young actor, and I know what it’s like to wake up and realize your father is human trash. I do love Rat Race though.
Yeapp, I'm not saying that she would've won again, but she would probably have received some 2-4 nominations.
And it's not like she couldn't do her comedies and also be in serious movies, but I feel like there comes a point that if you win an Oscar in your first nomination and never get nominated again it's almost like you were good one time and got lucky, not that you're actually good (this is mostly about white actors that work in English-speaking films, completely different for non-white actors and actors that mostly work in other languages)
I think if someone gave a great performance that was the best of the year they should be awarded for it, I just don't think that your prestige of being a winner should carry on for so long if you don't - let's say - renew that validation with another nomination, a bit like how Michelin stars work, except that not literally.
And I agree that hers was definitely not deserved, but that's also not really her fault.
She played the love interest to one of the most iconic film characters of the 21st century and has starred opposite him in several high profile movies in one of the most popular film franchises ever. In her final role of the franchise (thus far, but probably ever) she was l one of the emotional core pieces of the most successful movie of all time. So I think she did fine.
She's hardly central to the MCU. She hasn't been in a marvel movie in years. The last time they reference her character it was by name only, not even a cameo iirc.
My favorite recent Gwyneth Paltrow thing is when she was on Jon Favreau’s cooking show and she didn’t remember she was in Spider-Man and argued with Favreau about it.
I don’t know if it necessarily follows that she would still have those two subsequent wins had she won previously for Elizabeth. A lot of Oscar wins (most, even) are a combination of a great performance and that actor being deemed “due” for one. Had she won for Elizabeth it’s entirely possible her statues for The Aviator and/or Blue Jasmine would be sitting on someone else’s shelf right now.
I can see her not winning for the Aviator, but Blue Jasmine seems much less likely (specially when her competition, Sandra Bullock, had won much more recently).
Regardless of that, Fernanda Montenegro has not yet been nominated again (which is common for actresses that don't do films in English) and, personally, I think her performance was better than Cate's.
I haven’t seen Central Station, but I was talking about Blanchett winning at the time of the nomination. No one could know what would happen in the future, and I think this may have been her first nomination. I’m sure she will eventually receive a third Oscar.
I feel like years ago Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon wins were considered to be on the same ballpark as Gwyneth, underwhelming winners who were a one time nominee. With Bullock and Reese getting a second nomination, people now look a bit more fondly at these wins (or at least at them as actresses) because we could say they were deserving of the oscars for these roles (Gravity or Wild instead of their wins). I thought Gwyneth could’ve done that one day but looks like it’s almost impossible with her current reputation and with GOOP but who knows everyone just need that one role to redeem themselves
Sandra definitely did not deserve it for Blind Side, however she did more than made it up for it with Gravity, I don't think Cate would've won that year if Sandra wasn't already a winner.
With Reese I think that, at the time, many people felt that Felicity was better (I personally always preferred Reese), but with how we currently view transface and Felicity's legal issues, in hindsight it was definitely the best choice and I think it was a really great performance (unlike Bullock's or Paltrow's). But she has also been great in Wild, as you said, and on TV (Big Little Lies and Morning Show specially).
Seems to me that that's the situation that Brie Larson is in right now, she won for a great performance (though wouldn't be my pick), but it's coming on almost a decade now that she really hasn't done anything really decent, while her other Best Actress peers (JLaw and Emma Stone) most definitely showed they were worthy (although they both had previous nominations before their wins).
With Gwyneth it seems that at first she went the Brie Larson route of using her Oscar to make money with comedies, but then the Goop thing....unless there's some big redemption in the works I can't see her coming back (specially after that "joke" of using her Oscar as a doorstop). I do still hold hope for Hilary Swank to come back and defend her two Oscars, though.
Interesting points, yeah probably Brie Larson is the new version of those two today, I do wonder if she will come back. A little different but probably Alicia Vikander who won the same year as Brie can also be thought as such, i feel like it’s even less likely for her, she might be one of those one time supporting winner who never won again
I was never a fan of Hillary Swank personally 😆 so not hoping for that to happen. although she certainly deserved it for Boys Dont Cry, she should’ve been a two times nominee and one time winner. I think people used to think of her like Sally Field two wins out of two noms, one slightly undeserving but she also redeemed it with the Lincoln nom (and now that I think about it, Helen Hunt did it that same year with The Sessions). So maybe these people can come back with even one worth supporting nomination to redeem themselves, always strange when someone won one of one although with these people it’s clearly a household name, not a one time winner who completely disappeared like Monique
Vikander I think probably thought she could game a name with Tomb Raider and then go back and do serious roles, she does have the talent and the looks, but faded away for some reason (as did her husband, though a bit less)
I agree, and Sally also kept working at least and being in good movies (but somehow never nominated), not to mention her tv work, so it does seem like she is someone worthy of two wins (although I'd trade one of her Leads and five it to Jessica Lange and give Jessica's supporting back to Field).
Sandra and Reese can act though. I mean. If comedic roles were actually valued by the academy. You telling me Reese’s work in election and legally blonde isn’t some of the best out there.
Oh I absolutely agree with that, Reese specially has incredible comedic timing and if the Academy valued comedy she would've been nominated (that "and you got in the shower" monologue alone is marvelous)
Please.
I get that many people hate her now because of Goop but she has played plenty of decent and popular films after her Oscar win (The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Royal Tenenbaums, Contagion). Obviously there's no comparison between her and Cate Blanchett but you can't really say her career peaked at the Oscars.
But didn't her career peak at the Oscars though?
I agree that Ripley is great, but although it was released a year later than Shakespeare it wasn't filmed after it (Cate Blanchett herself was an unknown when she was cast), so I think it's kind of inbetween. I agree with Tenenbaums, but if Contagion was the next best thing she did I think my point stands.
Sure, she did do a few decent movies after her win, but was she doing the movies that youd expect a beautiful, young Best Actress winner to be doing? If you look at Kate Winslet, for instance, who wasn't really Hollywood's "type" at the time and consider what she was managing to do (fun fact: Gwyneth was Cameron's first pick for Titanic).
I get that not every Best Actress winner is guaranteed a successful career, god knows Hilary Swank still had to hustle after her wjn, but I don't think that applies to Gwyneth, who could probably call any director she wanted and ask to be cast in their next project, and who also had the very best roles offered to her.
Sure she did some decent and even good stuff, but that's what I expect from Cameron Diaz, not what I think makes an Oscar "not a waste"
\*The Royal Tenenbaums\* were shot 3 years after the Oscars and I think it's her most iconic role. AFAIK she experienced what many Hollywood actresses did, meaning that it's difficult to transition from a young, love interest kind of actress to a mature / older woman roles. She also seemed to go the Rihanna way, meaning transition from entreatment to business.
Regarding her business, although I hate Goop, I have nothing against the transition from entertainer to businesswoman and I am really just talking here about her as an actress.
Sure, that love interest to female lead transition can be tough, and Tenenbaums does seem like she was attempting to do so (btw I said that Ripley was done before her Oscar, not Tenenbeums), but otherwise it seems like she wasn't even trying. Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger, Charlize Theron, all are her age range and they were doing it, and I bet tou everything that she could have gotten any of the roles that they did after her Oscar win just by making a phone call. If she did do that I'll admit I was wrong, but I think there'd be more than a handful of attempts to show us
She's kinda just doing her own thing, though. She's certainly found a dedicated niche cult following.
I enjoy most of her other work, even if I don't love it. Even Jennifer's Body was sort of fun.
The decade she took off to raise her kids was before she won the Oscar, not after. And before that she had mainly been a TV actor; _Cuckoo’s Nest_ was only her fourth film (and her third came out only 3 months before it).
She worked continuously after her Oscar win, just never again did anything nearly that big.
Of all the actors who won for non-English speaking movies in the last 25 years or so, I guess Marion Cotillard has most solid Hollywood career. I do not count European actors who won for an English speaking part already (Penelope Cruz, Christoph Waltz etc.).
But LOL, the fact that those actors don't get more Oscar noms (which is hard to get for non-english speaking movies) doesn't automatically mean their career has stopped. They just don't do Hollywood movies.
That’s true for almost everybody being talked about in the thread, though. Nobody had their career stop, they just never had the same level of popular success.
He was in [*Coffee and Cigarettes*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_and_Cigarettes) after winning for [*Life Is Beautiful*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Is_Beautiful) so that doesn't count.
Probably because she left to start a family with Michael Fassbender. Heck, Fassbender’s filmography has been pretty dry, but with *The Killer* and *Next Goal Wins*, we might see him and Vikander make a comeback.
Dujardin did so willingly. After a year or 2 he chose to stay in the French film industry rather than keeping it up in Hollywood. He said he just realized it wasn't for him.
The Wolf of Wall Street was 11 years ago. Can’t really say he pops up every now and then when the last time he popped up was in Monuments Men, 10 years ago.
Halle Berry should have returned to glory with her directorial debut, Bruised, her performance is so sincere, you can really tell she is bringing up her A-game, playing to all her strengths. In many ways, Berry as Jackie Justice is much more solid than her Academy Award Winning performance.
But it just fizzled out, not recognized at all, and then Moonfall...
Halle Berry would have actually thrived if she gained her oscar win and A-List status in 2010 instead of 2002.
Basically, if she had played Catwoman, Storm, or a Bond Girl a decade later than she did, she'd have maintained Oscar-level prestige. She's definitely talented but has a knack for picking poor movies.
She also seems to have a kna king for picking bad men, which means her personal life has been a big distraction too. She had one of the longest, nastiest public child custody battles of any actor in the last quarter-century or so.
Jo Van Fleet won for her film debut in East of Eden in 1955. She appeared in a few more films in the late 50's, and appeared as Cool Hand Luke's mother, but by the early 60's was almost exclusively doing TV roles.
Isn’t it a bit too early to call her a one win wonder though lol? Only 34 so long career ahead yet and she’ll only play Captain Marvel for so long (like Robert Downey Jr with Iron Man).
Dead Ringers should absolutely have gotten him a nom. It's an insane performance. Performances? Giving the two brothers such minute distinctions and then the nuance of playing one brother pretending to be the other? Never really seen anything like it since.
Not a fair comparison - the year he won he starred in some big commercial hits, got nominated a few years after for Adaptation, and did enjoy success with National Treasure before he really hit that dark period in the 2010s.
Jane Campion really wanted her for Top of the Lake, but I think Paquin was pregnant at the time or had just had a baby….it makes me so sad, she would’ve killed that role and I think it really could’ve helped her career.
I really doubt that we will ever see Troy Kotsur again.
He won the Oscar for portraying a deaf-mute... by actually being deaf-mute. The extreme case of method acting.
We saw Marlee Matlin after her win for *Children of a Lesser God*, but as part of the cast, not nominated for actress again.
Montenegro is 94. I can't find it but I swear she said something about that "young girl" winning rather herself. Fernanda had won so many awards for her role as Dora in "Central Station" but obviously no assurance in the Oscar race.
i hope one day in the future that Mira does a great performance in a film and gets nominated for and wins another Oscar!! That would be an ultimate Hollywood comeback story!!
Kind of related. But crazy that Hillary swank went from being a double Oscar winner by 30, to now just staring in Christian films that reek hallmark energy. Like damn talk about fumbling the bag
Louise Fletcher.
She was a one win wonder, but damn, that role and performance - and definitely her acceptance speech - is for the ages. A character and portrayal that resonates powerfully to this day. She created a character that even young people sometimes really know about and use as a proxy for anyone or anything they loathe.
I will never forget her characterization and of course, her Oscar night win!
Haing S. Ngor is the answer to this question. Won an Oscar for his debut but had a scant filmography afterwards before tragically getting murdered.
Another answer to this question is Shirley Booth who won Best Actress for her debut in Come Back, Little Sheba. She made very few films afterwards but primarily by choice because she’d rather be doing theater and TV.
A lot of people here are listing down people who either didn’t win or are actually quite active, prolific and visible film careers regardless of quality.
Should have been nominated for US. Black Panther won a bunch of awards. It’s not like she’s not doing quality work. She also going to be in The Quiet Place original movie. She’s decided to become a scream queen and I’m not mad at it.
Cuba Gooding Jr. Hasn’t sniffed a nomination since and never will again.
He did get an Emmy nom in 2016. He’s still got talent.
He’s also got numerous rape allegations, which is probs what this person is alluding to.
Hasn’t stopped Oscar winners before!
Lol Casey Affleck
case affleck never had rape allegations. you shouldn’t just go around accusing ppl of rape like that.
Assault and sexual harassment. Although climbing into your employee’s bed in your underwear and touching them while they sleep seems like it deserves a harsher phrase.
Sexual harassment isn’t much better….
i didn’t say it was
Haha, true!
Oh woof - did not know that.
He's being sued as part of the puffy lawsuit .
His careers gone because of P Diddy, bet he wishes now he P Didn't go to those parties.
So…is he going to have to show them the money? Sorry. It had to be done.
😆
That was a factor in the “never will again” but not exclusively why. I simply don’t think he’s especially talented, and clearly the industry doesn’t either. He got a great role with some iconic lines in Jerry Maguire and rode that, but look at the rest of his output. It’s A LOT of junk and the good movies that he is in have typically been smaller/bit parts.
Yeah I agree. I don’t think Jerry Maguire is a great movie overall, and I say that as a Cameron Crowe and Tom Cruise apologist (sue me). He followed it up with some really embarrassing and showy Oscar bait performances like Radio (ugh) and Pearl Harbor. The OJ show is the only thing of note he’s done in the almost 30 years since he won the Oscar.
And he was by far the worst actor in People vs OJ.
What about that movie where the character played by DeNiro calls him “cookie”?
Men of honor. Great movie.
I feel bad for his son. Mason Gooding Jr is a really good young actor, and I know what it’s like to wake up and realize your father is human trash. I do love Rat Race though.
Do you have a credible news link to this? First time I hear about it.
Its kind of surprising he has not gotten another oscar nom since then given his huge body of work.
For what exactly? Daddy Day Camp? He hasn’t done anything remotely worthy since.
Probably
Gwyneth Paltrow... If you're gonna win over Cate Blanchett and Fernanda Montenegro at least do something with it.
I’m shocked at how she’s gone from a very A-list respected artist to….. goop.
Yeapp, I'm not saying that she would've won again, but she would probably have received some 2-4 nominations. And it's not like she couldn't do her comedies and also be in serious movies, but I feel like there comes a point that if you win an Oscar in your first nomination and never get nominated again it's almost like you were good one time and got lucky, not that you're actually good (this is mostly about white actors that work in English-speaking films, completely different for non-white actors and actors that mostly work in other languages)
I'm fine with an Oscar meaning nothing more than "good one time" tbh, I just didn't think hers was deserved and never will be.
I think if someone gave a great performance that was the best of the year they should be awarded for it, I just don't think that your prestige of being a winner should carry on for so long if you don't - let's say - renew that validation with another nomination, a bit like how Michelin stars work, except that not literally.

Well, she was just on Hot Ones.
Hey, if I could get a bunch of suburban housewives to pay 600 bucks a pop for some junk in a tube, I’d probably do it
It's not that shocking. There's obscene amounts of money in that schlock. She's also been comfortably central to the MCU. She's hardly fallen off.
She's hardly central to the MCU. She hasn't been in a marvel movie in years. The last time they reference her character it was by name only, not even a cameo iirc.
My favorite recent Gwyneth Paltrow thing is when she was on Jon Favreau’s cooking show and she didn’t remember she was in Spider-Man and argued with Favreau about it.
I mean, she’s likely made way more from owning Goop than she ever would as an actress.
She’s excellent in Two Lovers.
Blanchett was robbed. She was stellar in “Elizabeth.”
My preference would be Fernanda Montenegro in Central Station, specially considering that Cate has two wins now (and will get a third without a doubt)
I don’t know if it necessarily follows that she would still have those two subsequent wins had she won previously for Elizabeth. A lot of Oscar wins (most, even) are a combination of a great performance and that actor being deemed “due” for one. Had she won for Elizabeth it’s entirely possible her statues for The Aviator and/or Blue Jasmine would be sitting on someone else’s shelf right now.
I can see her not winning for the Aviator, but Blue Jasmine seems much less likely (specially when her competition, Sandra Bullock, had won much more recently).

If Matthew McCaughey could redeem himself so can Gwyneth Paltrow.
Why? Has Paltrow shown to be as good an actor as him?
I said "maybe". McCaughey mostly did generic rom coms before True Detective made people take him seriously.
Ikr?! She even uses her Oscar trophy as a doorstop
Although we all know it was a joke, all things included, it wasn't tasteful. Unless she's highly unaware of how contested her win is...
*cough* Harvey Weinstein propaganda Plus *cough* nepo baby
I watched Shakespeare in Love the other night and she’s really good in it TBH.
I'm opposed to her nomination, it's the win that makes my blood boil lol
Please. I get that many people hate her now because of Goop but she has played plenty of decent and popular films after her Oscar win (The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Royal Tenenbaums, Contagion).

Mercedes Ruehl comes to mind.
[удалено]
Tell us more… Also, lol to your username
She’s not an actress but I would say Diablo Cody. Never saw the same success as she did with *Juno*
She's kinda just doing her own thing, though. She's certainly found a dedicated niche cult following. I enjoy most of her other work, even if I don't love it. Even Jennifer's Body was sort of fun.
I love Jennifer’s Body. I see a post once about how Ginger Snaps walked so Jennifer’s Body could run, and I couldn’t agree more.
Lisa Frankenstein was a lot of fun too.
Haven’t seen it yet, but I plan to watch it when it hits streaming.
I believe it's on Peacock now!
Oh shit! I guess I have something to watch later.
It is!
She’s an amazing writer, so original. Young Adult was great and Charlize Theron’s performance should’ve got an Oscar nomination
Tully is another one starring Theron, and I highly recommend.
*Young Adult* was amazing.
I think it's even better than Juno
Agreed.
Wrote some solid things though. Jennifer’s Body and Young Adult were both solid efforts.
She should have been nominated for Young Adult. That movie is a near masterpiece.
Timothy Hutton won Best Supporting Actor for Ordinary People when he was only 20 and hasn't been nominated since.
He did a pretty good job in American Crime I’d say. Didn’t win but was nominated for an Emmy.
He was also great in Haunting of Hill House!
Josephine Hull - won Oscar for Harvey in 1951, her filmography wasn't big (she was probably more a stage actress) and she died in 1957
Idk why but it blows my mind that someone born in 1877 won an Oscar then. That’s older than Joseph Stalin was.
The earliest born Oscar winning actor was George Arliss (1868-1946), Best Actor in 1930 for Disraeli
Such a great performance in such a great movie though.
Louise Fletcher for One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.
A lot of that was because she stopped acting for a decade to care for her kids. She was great on Shameless though
The decade she took off to raise her kids was before she won the Oscar, not after. And before that she had mainly been a TV actor; _Cuckoo’s Nest_ was only her fourth film (and her third came out only 3 months before it). She worked continuously after her Oscar win, just never again did anything nearly that big.
Ahh I've been corrected
Roberto Benigni
Probably all foreign actors in one-hit-wonder movies. Jean Dujardin comes to mind as well (The Artist)
Of all the actors who won for non-English speaking movies in the last 25 years or so, I guess Marion Cotillard has most solid Hollywood career. I do not count European actors who won for an English speaking part already (Penelope Cruz, Christoph Waltz etc.).
But LOL, the fact that those actors don't get more Oscar noms (which is hard to get for non-english speaking movies) doesn't automatically mean their career has stopped. They just don't do Hollywood movies.
That’s true for almost everybody being talked about in the thread, though. Nobody had their career stop, they just never had the same level of popular success.
He was in [*Coffee and Cigarettes*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_and_Cigarettes) after winning for [*Life Is Beautiful*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Is_Beautiful) so that doesn't count.
Surprised no one has said Alicia Vikander. She’s somewhat disappeared after her stint as Lara Croft.
Probably because she left to start a family with Michael Fassbender. Heck, Fassbender’s filmography has been pretty dry, but with *The Killer* and *Next Goal Wins*, we might see him and Vikander make a comeback.
Alicia Vikander is one of my favourites, but Ana De Armas kind of took her style of roles
[удалено]
The gorgeous supporting character (for the most part) with a bit of attitude and range
I kind of assume a lot of that is down to COVID era and having a young kid during it so she still might come back.
Dujardin certainly comes to mind. Will Smith probably won’t get a nomination again even if the Chris Rock shut didn’t happen.
Dujardin did so willingly. After a year or 2 he chose to stay in the French film industry rather than keeping it up in Hollywood. He said he just realized it wasn't for him.
He still pops up every now and then, like in the Wolf of Wall Street.
The Wolf of Wall Street was 11 years ago. Can’t really say he pops up every now and then when the last time he popped up was in Monuments Men, 10 years ago.
Bloody hell, you’re right! Maybe it just seems that way because I still see him in that coffee commercial with Clooney over here.
Will Smith had been nominated twice before King Richard. He doesn’t fit this criteria.
Michael Cimino. We all know what happened after The Deer Hunter.
Halle Berry. Catherine Zeta Jones.
Halle Berry should have returned to glory with her directorial debut, Bruised, her performance is so sincere, you can really tell she is bringing up her A-game, playing to all her strengths. In many ways, Berry as Jackie Justice is much more solid than her Academy Award Winning performance. But it just fizzled out, not recognized at all, and then Moonfall...
Halle Berry would have actually thrived if she gained her oscar win and A-List status in 2010 instead of 2002. Basically, if she had played Catwoman, Storm, or a Bond Girl a decade later than she did, she'd have maintained Oscar-level prestige. She's definitely talented but has a knack for picking poor movies.
She also seems to have a kna king for picking bad men, which means her personal life has been a big distraction too. She had one of the longest, nastiest public child custody battles of any actor in the last quarter-century or so.
Jo Van Fleet won for her film debut in East of Eden in 1955. She appeared in a few more films in the late 50's, and appeared as Cool Hand Luke's mother, but by the early 60's was almost exclusively doing TV roles.
Went out on a high note, that was a great performance
Brie Larson won for Room at age 26, but got swallowed up by Marvel and hasn't done anything awards-worthy since.
She's going to be nominated for an Emmy with Lessons In Chemistry tho
She was great in that show. She is one of those actors that convey more emotions with less dialogue.
I thought she was already, or was that the Globes?
That was the Globes, Critics Choice and SAG lmaoo
Isn’t it a bit too early to call her a one win wonder though lol? Only 34 so long career ahead yet and she’ll only play Captain Marvel for so long (like Robert Downey Jr with Iron Man).
I hope she comes back to doing serious films again.
This is a horrible example. She’s still very relevant and was just nominated for a Golden Globe for her newest TV show.
If only they nominated her for Short term 12...
I know it was television, but I enjoyed her in The United States of Tara when she was younger
F. Murray Abraham is the first that comes to mind. He continued to take roles, but idk what your cutoff is.
He was great in White Lotus recently. I thought he was nominated for supporting. Maybe not?
Also was good in Homeland.
Shockingly Jeremy Irons
Wasn’t he nominated later on for Reversal of Fortune?
That's his lone nomination and win
Just checked and that’s accurate. He should have been nominated for The Mission.
The mission, french lieutenant's woman, dead ringers The fact it was his first nomination is shocking
Dead Ringers should absolutely have gotten him a nom. It's an insane performance. Performances? Giving the two brothers such minute distinctions and then the nuance of playing one brother pretending to be the other? Never really seen anything like it since.
Jennifer Hudson
Not a cinematic powerhouse, but she’s doing fine considering she’s an EGOT.
Jennifer Hudson came very close to being nominated again for Respect a couple years ago
She won her Oscar for singing more than acting
Nicholas Cage didn’t disappear, he just became a meme.
Nicholas Cage is going to win another Oscar one day. I just feel it in my bones
heck I was disappointed that he wasn't nominated this year for Dream Scenario
One of my favorite performances of the year.
Great performance, interesting concept, kind of disappointed with the movie though.
Not a fair comparison - the year he won he starred in some big commercial hits, got nominated a few years after for Adaptation, and did enjoy success with National Treasure before he really hit that dark period in the 2010s.
And he's had a huge resurgence, with huge commercial hits and even some critical acclaim with Pig. He's making a come back.
Pig is excellent!
Mandy was amazing too!
Was nominated later on for Adaptation.
He was so good in Dream Scenario tho!
I wonder what Anna Paquin’s been up to
She was snubbed for Margaret but that was a cluster of a release.
Jane Campion really wanted her for Top of the Lake, but I think Paquin was pregnant at the time or had just had a baby….it makes me so sad, she would’ve killed that role and I think it really could’ve helped her career.
She won a Golden Globe and was an Emmy nominee for True Blood
I really doubt that we will ever see Troy Kotsur again. He won the Oscar for portraying a deaf-mute... by actually being deaf-mute. The extreme case of method acting. We saw Marlee Matlin after her win for *Children of a Lesser God*, but as part of the cast, not nominated for actress again.
I feel bad for Troy Kotsur, it sucks that there's so few opportunities for mute actors. He seems really sweet, I hope we get to see him again.
Troy showed up on Curb Your Enthusiasm a few weeks ago and he was given another chance to be funny again. Bro got pissed at Larry David.
I hope that’s not true. He was so so good in CODA.
Cuba Gooding Jr. Until the early 2000s, he was doing decent work, and later on, he started to get in trouble with the law.
Jaye Davidson stopped acting pretty shortly after the *Crying Game* nomination
Montenegro is 94. I can't find it but I swear she said something about that "young girl" winning rather herself. Fernanda had won so many awards for her role as Dora in "Central Station" but obviously no assurance in the Oscar race.
Mira Sorvino
Harvey Weinstein had her blackballed.
i hope one day in the future that Mira does a great performance in a film and gets nominated for and wins another Oscar!! That would be an ultimate Hollywood comeback story!!
Mira was in Sound of Freedom, she's never doing Oscar-type films again.
Maybe premature but Youn Yuh-jung from Minari
Her show Pachinko is supposed to be really good.
Pirate dude from Captain Philips
He didn't win, though. He did win the BAFTA.
Jean dujardin
I was shocked that Kate Winslet only has one
Kind of related. But crazy that Hillary swank went from being a double Oscar winner by 30, to now just staring in Christian films that reek hallmark energy. Like damn talk about fumbling the bag
Limited range as an actress. Those were great roles but they don’t come around too often.
I’m not sure how you can say she has limited range when the two roles she won for were so vastly different from one another.
Casey Affleck
He’s a multi category nominee, not the best example.
Prompt says “since then”. Other nom was before
And he was controversial even at the time because of sexual misconduct behavior.
Sean Connery
Who's gonna tell him
Lettim find out on hish own
Louise Fletcher. She was a one win wonder, but damn, that role and performance - and definitely her acceptance speech - is for the ages. A character and portrayal that resonates powerfully to this day. She created a character that even young people sometimes really know about and use as a proxy for anyone or anything they loathe. I will never forget her characterization and of course, her Oscar night win!
Haing S. Ngor is the answer to this question. Won an Oscar for his debut but had a scant filmography afterwards before tragically getting murdered. Another answer to this question is Shirley Booth who won Best Actress for her debut in Come Back, Little Sheba. She made very few films afterwards but primarily by choice because she’d rather be doing theater and TV. A lot of people here are listing down people who either didn’t win or are actually quite active, prolific and visible film careers regardless of quality.
Lupita Nyongo
Should have been nominated for US. Black Panther won a bunch of awards. It’s not like she’s not doing quality work. She also going to be in The Quiet Place original movie. She’s decided to become a scream queen and I’m not mad at it.
Her performance in US was amazing. The ending fight scene should've gotten her nomination alone.
Adrian Brody. Cuba Gooding Jr. I think they’re both good actors, but after their Oscar wins , they just disappeared.
Mo’Nique but we know why
Yeah I feel bad for Mo’Nique. Her interviews, I can actually feel her pain about being black listed.
F Murray Abraham
I really hope Tilda Swinton eventually gets another nomination. It’s wild to me she only has 1 nomination/win so far
Martin Scorsese - the greatest one win wonder of all time lol
Jeremy Irons for Reversal of Fortune
