Alot of stars get nominated once and never again due to the movies they now make. Others dont look like they will ever get nominated for an Oscar. So let's discuss who we think will end up here. I'll go first:

Whoopi Goldberg: Nominated 2 times.. for Best and Supporting...won for Supporting for "Ghost". Her choice of movies for over a decade have been the B rated kind or just plain comedy/drama. I dont see her being nominated ever again.

Personally, it's really difficult to tell who's gonna get nominated again, and those who aren't.

It's all subjective. We can't judge someone just because of their recent work because there always will come a time that they'll surprise everyone, or the tide will simply change in their favor.

Who knew that after forty years, Alan Arkin would get nominated again? I bet no one would ever say that, in the mid ninetees. No one would even mention his name by that time. But now, look.

I'm thinking of examles and who knew that in 1999, the Supprting Actress nominees were all hip, and has the potentials to reap Oscar noms one after the other. There's Chloe Sevigny, Angelina Jolie, and Toni Collete. But who knew that it would be Samantha Morton and Catherine Keener who would come back as Oscar nominees?

In 2001, after her loss, everyone would have said that Kate Hudson will get nominated and win someday, and that MGH will be someone who will be quickly forgotten, but Hudson neve rgot nommed anymore while MGH reaped another Oscar nom.

After their surprise wins, Geena Davis and Marisa Tomei were regarded as some of the worst wins in their category but they came back and gave stronger performances through Thelma and Louise and In the Bedroom. No one could have called that after their win.

So yes, even though we'd say that Jennifer Hudson will never ever step anywhere near the Kodak Theatre anymore, we can't still be sure about that.

I think it's no sense to speculate about that.

A few years ago, I told everybody "I bet a million Dollars that Hilary Swank will never be nominated again"...and look what happened! I think Hilary Swank is the prime example that you never know...

I never would have thought that either because of all the bad choices she made after her win. Even when she did get nominated again, I thought that would be held against her, and that they wouldn't want her to be someone to win two leading Oscars when she's only done about three worthy projects in her life, imo, BDC, M$B, and that HBO movie, but everything else was pretty much crap. (Although I can see why she took those projects.)

So you never know, but if I had to guess on who would never be nominated again, I would guess on these actors.


Don't Really Seem Interested in Acting Anymore Category:

Whoopi Goldberg
Oprah Winfrey

(Robert De Niro might fit in this category because even though he's in a billion movies a year, he doesn't seem to be interested in acting most of the time.)

Seem Too Old Unless They Become the New "It" Older Actors to Go To:

Ruby Dee
Hal Holbrook

Feels Like They'll Never Get Nominated Because Win Was a Way of Honoring Person's Career

Alan Arkin
Gene Hackman (Although I think he could get in, but since he was snubbed for The Royal Tennenbaums, which I thought was sure to get him nominated, I think that his second win was their way of honoring his great career. So it will be hard for him to get nominated again. Of course, he's not everywhere like he use to be, so that may help him.)

You Were Once an Oscar Favorite, Now They Won't Even Nominate You Anymore Category:

Joan Allen
Glenn Close
Sigourney Weaver

Career Is on the Wane Right Now, So They Could Be Back, But Doesn't Seem Too Likely At This Time:

Halle Berry
Lorraine Bracco
Kevin Costner
Melanie Griffith
Goldie Hawn
Bette Midler
Haley Joel Osment
Sharon Stone

Might Be Hard for Person to Ever Get Another Worthy Role Again:

Marion Cotillard (I know she has a lot of great projects coming up, but if she doesn't work in English language movies primarily, I think it would be hard for her to be nominated again unless she becomes like Juliette Binoche who balances her time with both English and French movies.)
Jennifer Hudson (Effie White was tailor made for anyone who took it to receive award attention, so I think it was more the role than her. It doesn't mean she won't be back, but I'm iffy about her real acting ability.)
Keisha Castle-Hughes (She's still young, but it would be hard to get another role like The Whale Rider especially since her age probably helped her get in.)
Catalina Sandino Moreno (Although she seems to have a good head on her shoulders with the project she takes instead of doing a whole bunch of crap for the money, and then getting typecast as a result.)
Eddie Murphy (I think he differs from the other people in this category though because it's not he couldn't work in smaller movies, but he doesn't want to as long as he can still make a good living out of dressing up as a million different characters or supplying voices to animated films.)

Wins That Were Looked at As the Wrong Win in Hindsight, So It Will Be Hard for Them to Comeback Again:

Diablo Cody (I threw her in because if the previews of that Megan Fox movie she wrote is any indication, she's really a one-trick pony. Plus, I can't see Juno holding up over time the way that some of the other nominees would have, and I think people will wonder why that won or was even nominated in the future.)
Russell Crowe (Not that his win was exactly on the level of the Paltrow win to most people, but his attitude during the awards circuit for ABM combined with his winning for not such a good role might make it hard for him to comeback again at least anytime soon. I already have too many categories though, so I didn't really want to add, "They'll Have to Do Some Major Making-Up to Get Back Again".)
Al Pacino
Gwyneth Paltrow (Although I think they'll finally nominate and possibly even award her again someday. Right now though it seems like she doesn't exist to them.)

This message has been edited. Last edited by: Mrs. Daryl Zero,

The only actors who are likely to never get nominated or win again are actors that are deceased. Everyone else will always have a chance to created another Oscar winning or nominated performance.

Well there are alot of performers that could possible fit in this thread. Like come on..use the brain. To all the naysayers about this thread..how about it i mention more:

Dolph Lundgren

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Steven Seagal

Jean Claude Van Damme

Well, there's always Paris Hilton...

Newt Gingrich, because he isn't an actor.

I disagree with the mentions about Russell Crowe and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Russell Crowe has came close to a nomination for Cinderella Man in 2005. Once he finally got to critics lists again, then I could see him come back.

After Iron Man, Gwyneth Paltrow is once again visible to everyone. She just ahsn't done anything Oscar worthy (though she was in Sylvia, and Proof) Like Crowe, once she finally gets the role that would bring her back, I think AMPAS will notice it ala Marisa Tomei. AMPAS invites her every two years or so to present something, not that it matters, but I think that means they still know her.

Sharon Stone

Cher

Eddie Murphy

Former U.S. Representative from Georgia... Former speaker of the House...

Wait, how did Newt Gingrich even come up in this topic?

Hey K....Egg Fu brought up that guy..trying to be funny i guess.

As much as it saddens me to say this..i think it is over for Elisabeth Shue. She has not done anything Oscar worthy since 1994's Leaving Las Vegas..although i will add she was awesome in "Molly" in 1998.

Well people were bringing up people like Paris Hilton and Steven Segal, who are so obviously not going to be nominated. Well, neither is Gingrich. So there.

Sorry, I did put a note that I think they would be nominated again, but they were in the category of either a bad win or having a lot of making up to do the Academy before they can comeback agian. So they'll probably be back, but it won't be as easy as say Cate Blanchett after she won.

quote:

Elisabeth Shue
Cher

I forgot about them. I rarely see them, and it's always a bad sign when they have to resort to playing themselves in movies.

I would also add the following,
Jackie Earle Haley (He's on a comeback now, but I think he'll be forever typecast as odd characters. It may have worked with Little Children, but I don't expect it to work again unless he can really surprise voters.)

Brad Douriff (He could have a career comeback like Haley, but somehow I think that it's pretty unlikely. Even if he did, it would be pretty hard to top Billy Bibbit.)

Louise Fletcher (She probably wishes that she were typecast as one of the A-List actresses' mom like Gena Rowlands and Ellen Burstyn always seem to be.)

Jackie Earle Haley could have another shot this year with 'Winged Creatures' (although its unlikely)... I'd say that his chances of a nomination for 'Watchmen' in 2009 are actually pretty high. It's a powerful role and an interesting bit of casting.

Brenda Fricker, Winner Best Supporting Actress My Left Foot

Cuba Gooding Jr. Winner Best Supporting Actor Jerry Mcguire

Edward Norton, is not getting any notice since his Best Actor Nomination in 1998. He if off the awards radar, not sure why?

Kathleen Turner, will be lucky to get balcony seating at this point, the one time best actress nominee is lost in New York..

Marlee Matlin....

Tatum O'Neal

Linda Blair

Jennifer Tilly

Kim Basinger

Julianne Moore

Matt Damon, should have been nominated for both "Mr Ripley" and "The Last Bourne Movie"

Ben Affleck, got no love for "Gone"

Minnie Driver ---

Robin Williams

Cher - Needs to give it back

Jessica Lange is fading, if Meryl would stop hog dogging every role and playing herself over and over, several other actresses in her generation could get a job.

I agree with u about Meryle...but disagree with u about Julianne Moore. She will be nominated again someday soon.

I don't think it's Meryl's fault if she's getting most of the roles. It's not as if she's whoring and sleeping to every producer in Hollywood to cast her in their movies.
