Best Actresses to Never Win an Oscar
Michelle Marie Pfeiffer is an American actress and producer. One of the most popular actresses of the 1980s and 1990s, she has received international acclaim and many accolades for her work in both comedic and dramatic films. A total phenomenon who is talented, brilliant, believable and can sing, act and do it all!
Glenn Close is an American actress, singer and film producer. With an acting career spanning over 40 years, she has been consistently acclaimed for her versatility and is widely regarded as one of the finest actresses of her generation.
Annette Carol Bening is an American actress. She began her career on stage with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival company in 1980, and played Lady Macbeth in 1984 at the American Conservatory Theatre.
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. No, she was snubbed for a nomination ( again! ) for the movie " Arrival ". The movie was nominated but she didn't get a nomination. Of course, the overrated Meryl Streep was ( again!? ) nominated as leading actress ( undeserved ) for her stupid movie " Florence Foster Jenkins ". It's hard to believe that Amy Adams wasn't nominated as leading actress for " Arrival " but it also proves that the oscar nominations are a joke because she really deserved a nomination this year ( and she certainly deserves a winning oscar for best actress after all this years of outstanding acting in her carreer ).
She might get one this year for Arrival. At least a nomination, anyways.

She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Kate Croy in The Wings of the Dove, and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Queen Elizabeth in The King's Speech.A top actress but her career lays in Sweden. Ingmar Bergman ( she played many movies from this director ) movies did win actually an Oscar. But to be selected and nominated as an actress for Oscars is very rare among actresses working for foreign films and she was nominated twice at the Oscars. And don't forget, she won an Golden globe and has 53 nominations and wins ( mostly Europeans awards ) during her career. Not exactly what you would call a ignored actress.
