It's unfortunate that many amazing actors in Hollywood have never been recognized for their work by the Oscars, specifically in the form of a win, despite being deserving. What's more, these actors are well-loved by the industry and have been known for delivering high-caliber performances throughout their careers. Actors like Glenn Close and Amy Adams have been nominated multiple times, but have yet to walk away with the statuette.

Of course, talking about winning an Oscar wouldn't be a full conversation without acknowledging the systemic barriers that many actors, particularly of color and/or other marginalized groups, face on the road to gold. In fact, there have been online campaigns within the last handful of years, such as #OscarsSoWhite, that have shone a light on the lack of diversity and inclusion in The Academy. As we head into awards season, here's a look at actors who are overdue for an Oscar win.

6 Michelle Yeoh

An actress who has been in the industry for decades, and is well known for her role in the worldwide mainstream success Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Michelle Yeoh has made a huge impression on the industry as a whole. Her most recent ventures have been in the blockbuster hit Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, along with her Oscar-worthy performance in this year's Everything Everywhere All At Once. Both of these films have helped shape her legacy in Hollywood. However, none of her roles so far have landed her favor with the Academy voters as she has yet to even be nominated. That being said, Gold Derby places her at the top of their predictions list of potential Best Actress winners this year for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

5 Johnny Depp

With Johnny Depp's storied history in Hollywood, it is shocking to think that he has no Oscar wins under his belt. He has been previously nominated by the Academy three times, but has never been able to gain a win from them in all the years he has been in the industry. During his prime, Depp was arguably one of the most versatile and unique actors, which is evidenced by how varied his Oscar-nominated characters are: Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl; J.M Barrie in Finding Neverland; and Sweeney Todd in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

4 Micheal Keaton

Popularly known for his roles as Batman and Beetlejuice, it is shocking that Michael Keaton hasn't scored an Oscar win yet. The actor has been in multiple films aimed at The Academy, films like Spotlight, The Founder, and, of course, Birdman. All of these are films that had the potential of getting Keaton a win from the Academy, particularly the latter (which earned him a nomination, at least). He is a rare actor who, across mediums and genres, proves himself a dedicated, nuanced, and talented performer. For what it's worth for Keaton fans, he did win gold from the Television Academy earlier this year for his career-best work in Dopesick.

3 Andy Serkis

What do you do when an actor's performance is mostly motion capture? Many people have argued that there should be an Oscar category specifically made for motion capture performances so that Andy Serkis could finally win. Indeed, Serkis has played a multitude of roles and has given amazing performances in motion capture, but they never seem to be recognized by the Academy, paticularly his chilling and thrilling turn as Smeagle/Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Perhaps the biggest barrier, here, is the misconception from the Academy that, because his best work has been in motion capture, his performance is being somehow enhanced in post-production. This was similarly the case for Zoe Saldaña in Avatar.

2 Angela Bassett

From The Cosby Show to Black Panther, Angela Bassett has had a long career of amazing performances. Her performances in films like Malcolm X, Akeelah and the Bee, and Notorious are all could have easily landed her Oscar nominations, but that sadly wasn't the case. In fact, it's surprising that despite her notoriety in Hollywood, she hasn't been nominated at the Oscars since 1994 (What's Love Got to Do with It). This year, however, Bassett could possibly change that statistic, as the actress is currently garnering buzz for her work in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

1 Laurence Fishburne

Probably the most surprising actor to not have an Oscar win right now is Laurence Fishburne. Much like Basset, Fishburne has only been nominated once (also for What's Love Got to with It) in his entire career despite his many years of being in the industry and turning in incredible performances. Whether it's his work in The Color Purple or The Matrix, the actor consistently turns in awards-worthy work. This is compounded by the fact that all the films he has been in are truly cult classics and highly loved by audiences everywhere. And yet, in spite of this, none of these roles have given him recognition by Academy voters.
