24. Ralph Fiennes
Ralph Fiennes has played in numerous films that were genetically engineered to be Oscar winners. His commanding performance as Count László de Almásy in The English Patient wasn’t enough to win him a statue. Likewise, many critics believe he was outright robbed in 1994 when Tommy Lee Jones took home the Best Supporting Actor title for his work on The Fugitive. That same year, Fiennes was nominated for his absolutely chilling portrayal of the Nazi war criminal Amon Göth in Schindler’s List. Fiennes still has yet to take home an Oscar.
