Why has he not won an Oscar???


Funny how Hollywood snubs some of the best! He has been in some great Oscar winning movies, and has made some tremendous performances, but still has not got one for himself. He is still one of the biggest box office draws, and one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood, so why do you guys think he has never won an Oscar?

Because the industry is insanely jealous of him. If they can't move against him for superstitious and monetary reasons, they will get at him in petty ways such as the stupid statuette no really thinks means a damn anyway.

I think it's unfair that he never won an oscar . The fact that some body like him who is arguably the biggest movie star in the planet , getting an oscar doesn't really matter anymore . I'm sure Tom himself is happy with whatever he has achieved and in future if he wins an oscar it will just make him happier but not that not winning an oscar upsets him anymore .

Have always loved his work, he's truly charismatic onscreen and etches down his characters very well .

Agreed, people love to hate on him for very publicly scrutinized personal life, and tend to overlook just what a great actor he is!
I wonder if not being Jewish has hurt him in the Oscar department?

reply

Leo DC isn't Jewish.

No........because he's insanely unlikable.....The industry does NOT like him, he's manipulative and controlling.........just ask S Spielberg, He can't stand him.

...except the reason he continues to work and be immensely successful in Hollywood is because he has a GOOD reputation among directors and actors alike. If the industry hated him, he would be blacklisted instead of having studios continue to court him for movie after movie.

Doesn't he always use his own production company? In that case, he is the studio. He creates the projects he works on.

That's why Valkyrie hurt him so bad. His backers didn't want to do it and he guaranteed the project. He had to pay most of their losses out of his own pocket.

Maybe because of better damn performances??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Think of that first you imbecile.

you are truly hilarious, and I'm getting a cultie vibe from your posts. NO ONE is jealous of a lunatic cult member. He is ridiculed left and right in the business, people can't stand him. AND I guarantee if he ever did win an Oscar you fanatics would be screaming like banshees that it's the greatest honor ever blah blah blah
