4. Humphrey Bogart
On a list of the best male film stars in history, Humphrey Bogart would surely be near the top. His career included countless incredible roles delivered with impeccable performances. He was never nominated for many of his most iconic characters, including those as Detective Sam Space in The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep and as the villain in The Treasure of Sierra Madre. He finally was nominated for his incredible performance as Rick in Casablanca but lost to the entirely forgotten Watch on the Rhine role played by Paul Lukas.
