One of the best actors without an Oscar

John Goodman is criminally underrated. He rarely gets a chance in starring roles but he almost always steals the show - even if he just has a cameo. He has a tremendous range and can successfully do both drama and comedy at a high level - which isn't an easy task. The fact that he's never even been nominated for an Oscar is mind-boggling to me. Maybe that changes after his terrifying performance in 10 Cloverfield Lane.

The reason I'm writing this post is because I included Goodman in my Top 10 Best Actors Without Oscars video on my new YouTube channel. If you don't mind, check it out and let me know what you think. I'm trying to get my channel to grow and thought the best way to do that is to share it with my fellow film lovers. If you like it, I'd GREATLY appreciate it if you subscribe. If you don't like it, any constructive criticism is welcomed with open arms. Thanks so much!

I looked at his awards page here and came to the forum to express the same sentiment. Guy is an unreal actor, hard to believe he doesn't have a win or a nomination.
