Iconic Actors Who Never Won an Academy Award

Liam Neeson

For whatever reason, Hollywood has never been taken with Taken star Liam Neeson despite his high-profile roles. He was the projected winner for Best Actor thanks to his role in Schindler's List but lost to Tom Hanks' role in Philadelphia. However, despite his action movie past, Neeson has proven that he can play any type of role.

Love Actually

Liam Neeson puts his versatility as an actor on display in a serious role in Love Actually. He plays a widowed father attempting to raise his pre-teen son on his own. While he thinks his son is grieving the loss of his mother, turns out he's actually in love with a pretty classmate. As Hugh Grant says, love actually is all around.
