Snub City

We start with the most baffling omission-this director of the most celebrated film of the 20th century never won an Oscar. How old were you when you learned Citizen Kane lost Best Picture to How Green Is My Valley?

• Orson Welles
• Sidney Lumet

• John Ford

• Howard Hawks

Believe it or not, this master of suspense never won a single Oscar. What kind of psycho thought he didn't deserve it?

• Alfred Hitchcock
• Brian de Palma

• William Friedkin

• Billy Wilder

Despite being one of the greatest directors in film history, this Italian-American filmmaker has exactly one Oscar to his name.

• Martin Scorsese
• Francis Ford Coppola

• Abel Ferrara

• Vincent Gallo

She played Tina Turner in 1993 biopic-nominated, snubbed. Then she was nominated for her role in a Marvel movie... Ok, she wasn't snubbed here.

• Angela Bassett
• Jada-Pinkett Smith

• Halle Berry

• Viola Davis

This John Wick side-character played beside Angela Bassett as Ike Turner-also nominated, also snubbed! And then they never got nominated again-has to be a glitch in the matrix, right?

• Laurence Fishburn
• Keanu Reeves

• Carrie-Anne Moss

• Joe Pantoliano

He only has one Oscar for Adapted Screenplay. No Oscar for directing, no Oscar for acting after starring in 11 of his own films... The Academy failed to do the right thing, time and time again!

• Spike Lee
• Kevin Costner

• Morgan Freeman

• Denzel Washington

Twelve total nominations, three of which came from a film he starred in, directed, AND wrote the screenplay for-but he keeps coming up short. You'd think they would award a real American hustler-is it how he conducts himself?

• Bradley Cooper
• Ben Affleck

• Clint Eastwood

• Tyler Perry
