I mean performances by actors who were great in their roles but somehow were overlooked come award time. Sometimes these performances were nominated for a SAG or a Golden Globe, but for whatever reasons, they didn't win and/or gain momentum. I would perfer for us to list perfs that were not nominated at the Oscars.
Tim Robbins - The Shawshank Redemption Emily Watson - Gosford Park Jessica Lange - A Thousand Acres Cameron Diaz - Being John Malkovich Alfre Woodard - Passion Fish Billy Connolly - Mrs. Brown Pam Grier - Jackie Brown Tang Wei - Lust Caution Ben Kingsley - Schindler's List Mia Farrow - September Elaine Stritch - September Tommy Lee Jones - Coal Miner's Daughter Julie Delpy - Before Sunset Mark Ruffalo - You Can Count on Me Kathy Bates - Dolores Claiborne Sissy Spacek - Night Mother Glenn Close - Reversal of Fortune Uma Thurman - Kill Bill 1 & 2
