Sean Connery has never won a best actor Oscar. Surprising?!


Question: Considering the esteem that he is held in, it is surprising to me. Any reasons why?

Leave my Sean Connery alone! ^_^ Not the best actor, but very much loved because of his unique style. ^_^ He is good eye candy as well. Good question!

Good answer.. He should have a long time ago..

Not really surprising. Even much-loved stars aren't necessarily great actors. I don't think he's bad, but I don't think I can recall any performance of his that has really wowed me.

Also, how many "Oscar" type films has he really been in? The James Bond films were the type to get awards for effects or music, say, but no actor in a Bond film is ever going to be nominated for an Oscar. (Not necessarily my opinion, just the way the Academy works.) I can't really name that many films of his that aren't pretty standard action flicks.

(There was Marnie, of course, but I don't remember him being all that great in it. And The Untouchables - he was at least nominated for that.)

Update: hang on, he actually did win for The Untouchables, albeit as Supporting Actor.

With exception of his role in the Untouchables, (and the best-supporting actor nomination that he got) he's never been in the artistic types or more dramatic movies that win Oscars. He's always been in action movies that rarely get Oscar nods.

I'm with Banana Ray. While I've seen him in very entertaining movies, and he is immensely likable, he has been cast in roles that play one or two notes. This isn't to say he isn't capable of great acting, but they'd have to give him the roles.

I think he has huge lovability, but low actablility... ;-)) although I loved him to death in indiana jones and the temple of doom. ( at least I think that was the title, in which they went in search of the holy grail.
I absolutly loved his humour and if it were up to me he would've won the award.

now that I think about it,.... it is a disgrace that he didn't win it...
