20. Deborah Kerr
Deborah Kerr’s elegant presence and remarkable talent earned her six Oscar nominations for classic performances in films such as From Here to Eternity. Renowned for her grace and versatility, Kerr was a critical favorite who consistently delivered memorable work across genres. Despite her string of nominations, she never won a competitive Oscar. The Academy eventually recognized her profound contributions with an honorary statuette, but many believe she deserved much more during her extraordinary career.
