11 Hollywood Actors With Most Oscar Nominations But No Wins

"Just to be nominated is a huge honour!" Well, not so much.

From making the careers of some of the most creative and essential filmmakers in the world to honouring the under-rated acting legends, the history of Oscars is filled with important moments. And when a film or recognised by the Academy's, they will live on forever in the eyes of a lot of people.

And such is the prestige attached to the award that even getting nominated is considered a career-altering event. But having said that, to be nominated over and over again and yet not win... well that can even sting even the most magnanimous hearts:

Johnny Depp: 3 nominations; 0 wins

Peter O'Toole: 8 nominations; 0 wins

Annette Bening: 3 nominations; 0 wins

Amy Adams: 5 nominations; 0 wins

Sigourney Weaver: 3 nominations; 0 wins
