Top 10 Actors and Actresses Who Should Win a Future Oscar

The Top Ten
1 Amy Adams Amy Lou Adams is an American actress and singer. She is the recipient of two Golden Globe Awards, and has received five nominations each from the Academy Award and BAFTA Award ceremonies.

It's amazing she hasn't won one yet, if not more than one. Doubt and The Master, in particular are great performances.

2 Tom Holland Thomas Stanley "Tom" Holland is an English actor and dancer. Holland is known for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and starring in the 2012 film The Impossible. He started his career in 2008 when he played the lead role named Billy Elliot in Billy Elliot The Musical on Broadway in the Victoria Palace Theater, London, England.

He is a young star who has a lifelong career left, and is one of the highest paid Hollywood stars today, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wins an Oscar very soon.

3 Scarlett Johansson Scarlett Johansson (born November 22, 1984) is an American actress, model, and singer. She made her film debut in North.

Johansson is considered one of Hollywood's modern sex symbols, and has frequently appeared in published lists of the sexiest women in the world. As of February 2017, she is the highest-grossing actress of all time in North America, with her films making over $3.6 billion.

I'm surprised she hasn't already. That's when you know that the system is corrupted!

She will very likely win best actress in Marriage Story.

He has been in many popular movies, These include, but are not limited to, the Men in Black franchise, The Pursuit of Happyness, and After Earth. He is often referred to as one of the best African American actors.

If he couldn't win an Oscar for Ali or The Pursuit of Happiness, then he'll probably never win an Oscar. It's good to know he got Oscar nominations, and it's good to know that Will Smith can play as more than just Will Smith in a movie.

9 Taron Egerton Taron David Egerton is a Welsh actor best known for starring in the 2015 film Kingsman: The Secret Service and the 2016 film Eddie the Eagle.

Taron should have been nominated for a Best Actor Oscar at the 2020 Oscar Awards.

We all know by now that his performance as Gollum should've got a nomination, but sadly the Academy disallows motion-capture performances. Still, the man deserves an award for all his contributions in bringing life to many CG-I characters. Even if it's just an honorary Oscar, I think he's earned it at this point.

He grew up in Texas and rose to fame in the early 2000s after appearing on the television series Gilmore Girls as well as such films as New York Minute and House of Wax.
