Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot
2. Marilyn Monroe (1926-62) 玛丽莲·梦露
Maybe it was considered enough that she was the pin-up to end all pin-ups, and a wildly successful star for ten years. Perhaps she made too many comedies – never the surest path to Academy favour. But any one of a half-dozen performances should have earned Monroe's inclusion, if only as a polite nod of appreciation.
也许梦露被认为是在海报上活了一生的女人,她同时也是一位走红十年的成功明星.可能她拍了太多喜剧了,而喜剧并不最受奥斯卡青睐.如果是出自礼貌性欣赏的话,她有六分之一的作品可以获得提名.
Most robbed for: Actress, 1959 – Only Jack Lemmon in Some Like it Hot's lead trio got mentioned, but Monroe is fifty times funnier in it than nominee Doris Day in Pillow Talk.
失之交臂：最佳女主角,1959——《热情似火》的三位主角中只有杰克·莱蒙获得提名,但是梦露比《枕边细语》中获得提名的多丽丝·戴要有趣50倍.
1. Edward G. Robinson (1893-1973) 爱德华·G·罗宾逊
A damn handy character actor well into his late Seventies, Robinson was a huge if unlikely star throughout the 1930s and 40s. He must have narrowly missed a nod as the hood in Little Caesar (1931), and sadly died two months before an honorary Oscar was presented to him in 1973.
他的演戏生涯一直持续到70多岁,如果说20世纪30年代至40年代出现了许多"奇葩明星",罗宾逊就是其中的"佼佼者",但在《小凯撒》中的秃帽男一角也没能让他获得奥斯卡的认可,遗憾的是,1973年,在奥斯卡向他颁布终身荣誉奖的前两个月,罗宾逊去世了.
Most robbed for: Supporting Actor, 1944 – He had flashier parts, but few as perfectly-tailored to him as sympathetic adjuster Barton Keyes in Double Indemnity.
失之交臂：最佳男配角,1944——他的演技很浮夸,但也有少数为他量身打造的角色,比如《双重赔偿》中的巴顿·凯斯.
