Oscar 2019 - Bright Media Pakistan - Latest News, Entertainment & Lifestyle

After Olivia Colman upset the heavily favored Glenn Close to win the best actress Oscar on Sunday, Close became the new record-holder among actresses for most Oscar nominations without a win. Colman gave a gracious acceptance speech, admitting she wished the veteran actress took home the big prize: “Glenn Close, you’ve been my idol for so long and this is not how I wanted it to be.” Close now has seven nominations and no wins for “The Wife,” “Albert Nobbs,” “Fatal Attraction,” “Dangerous Liaisons,” “The World According to Garp,” “The Big Chill,” and “The Natural.” Close had been tied with the late Thelma Ritter and the late Deborah Kerr for most nominations without a win, with six. On Sunday, Amy Adams joined Ritter and Kerr for having six nominations without a win following her loss for “Vice.” She was previously nominated for “Junebug,” “Doubt,” “The Fighter,” “The Master,” and “American Hustle.” Here are other actors who have never won an Oscar before: Bradley Cooper The actor-turned-director was up for an actor trophy for his role in “A Star Is Born,” but lost last night to Rami Malek. Cooper was also nominated for “Silver Linings Playbook,” “American Sniper,” and “American Hustle.” Willem Dafoe Dafoe was up for the same lead actor prize opposite Cooper and Malek for his critically acclaimed role as Vincent van Gogh in “At Eternity’s Gate.” He was also up for “Platoon,” “Shadow of the Vampire,” and “The Florida Project.” Tom Cruise Despite countless memorable roles, Cruise is only Oscar-nominated for “Born on the Fourth of July,” “Magnolia,” and “Jerry Maguire.” Laura Dern Two-time nominee Dern lost out to Jodie Foster for “The Silence of the Lambs” in 1992, when she was nominated for “Rambling Rose,” and Patricia Arquette for “Boyhood” in 2015, when she was nominated for “Wild.” Salma Hayek Hayek received one nomination — in 2003, for “Frida” — but she was up against some seriously tough competition in Julianne Moore, Renee Zellweger, Diane Lane, and Nicole Kidman, who won for “The Hours.”
