Richard Gere in Internal Affairs
與奧斯卡獎無緣的20名偉大演員
20 great actors who've never been nominated for an Oscar
在無數次和奧斯卡獎擦肩而過之后,小李子這次終于喜獲小金人,但是在好萊塢還有很多演技精湛的實力派演員,他們和奧斯卡獎似乎近在咫尺,卻總是失之交臂.
20. Richard Gere (1949– ) 理查德·基爾
An old-school movie star and, to say the least, not the world's most consistent actor, Gere has still been unlucky not to enjoy even one Oscar moment (where the likes of George Clooney have had a fistful). He's not been far off lately with The Hoax and Arbitrage– it'll come, maybe, when he finds his Wall Street.
他是一位老派的電影明星,退一步說,不算風格最一成不變的演員,然而基爾至今都與奧斯卡無緣（但喬治·克魯尼這類明星倒是一抓一大把）,他的作品《騙局》和 《套利交易》還未遠離大眾的視線,如果他能在未來找到屬于自己的代表作,相信提名也離他不遠了.
Most robbed for: Actor, 1990 – Top Gere is his shadiest performance, as the vicious cop in Mike Figgis's Internal Affairs.
失之交臂：最佳男主角,1900——理查德·基爾在邁克·菲吉斯執導的《內部事務》中扮演一位邪惡的警察,他對于陰暗性格的表演功力十分了得.
19. John Cusack (1966– ) 約翰·庫薩克
Many of his films (The Grifters, Bullets over Broadway, Being John Malkovich) have been rather big hits with the Academy, but Cusack's neurotic protagonists never quite charge to the front. You feel he's still waiting for the signature, mid-career role that will bring him into the fold.
他的許多作品（《致命賭局》,《子彈橫飛百老匯》,《傀儡人生》）都在奧斯卡大受歡迎,但庫薩克所扮演的神經病主角并沒有顯得亮眼,你能感受到他還在等待,希望在職業生涯中期獲得一個獨特的角色,將他送入奧斯卡的大門.
Most robbed for: Supporting Actor, 1998 – There's almost too much great ensemble work in The Thin Red Line for any one player to stand out, but Cusack's Capt. Gaff is fatigued, watchful and invaluable.
失之交臂：最佳男配角,1998——《細細的紅線》是一部整體效果相當優秀的電影,所有演出人員的表演都十分到位,反倒使得個人很難綻放異彩了.但庫薩克將加沃上尉的疲憊、警惕和價值表現得淋漓盡致.
