Actors Who Deserve a Third Oscar:
An Oscar is a life-long dream of an Actor and sometimes they have to wait years just to be nominated. But there are some artists in the industry who have made the whole thing super easy. These actors have already won the Oscars twice but we think they deserve more as they are just fantastic.
#1: Cate Blanchett
Total No. of Nominations: 6
Won the Oscar for The Aviator (2004) – Supporting Role, Blue Jasmine (2013) – Leading Role
Cate Blanchett has been the favorite of critics as well as the fans as long as any of us can remember. She is one of the most versatile actresses in the industry and we would love to see her win another Oscar.
#2: Tom Hanks
Total No. of Nominations: 5
Won the Oscar for Philadelphia (1994) – Leading Role, Forrest Gump (1995) – Leading Role
Tom Hanks has probably never portrayed a character badly. He brings his A-game from the get-go and he has been ruling Hollywood for decades and he has been a part of some of the most iconic movies of all time.
#3: Robert De Niro
Total No. of Nominations: 7
Won the Oscar for The Godfather Part 2 (1974) – Supporting Role, Raging Bull (1980) – Leading Role.
Robert De Niro proved that if you work hard enough you can climb any mountain. His collaboration with Martin Scorsese gave us many intense movies and he’s definitely one of the greatest.
#4: Kevin Spacey
Total No. of Nominations: 2
Won the Oscar for The Usual Suspects (1995) – Supporting Role, American Beauty (1999) – Leading Role
Kevin Spacey holds a ton of talent and he has accomplished everything an actor desires to. As the charges on him have been dropped, we hope that he makes a comeback, and that too in a grand fashion.
#5: Christoph Waltz
Total No. of Nominations: 2
Won the Oscar for Inglorious Basterds (2009) – Supporting Role, Django Unchained (2012) – Supporting Role
Christoph Waltz is the most civilized villain in the industry and no protagonist can match his charisma. He comes off as mischievous and cunning, who can come out on top at any given situation.
#6: Denzel Washington
Total No. of Nominations: 8
Won the Oscar for Glory (1989) – Supporting Role, Training Day (2001) – Leading Role
Denzel Washington has entertained all of us for years with the help of his charismatic and powerful performances and even though he is doing fewer films now, we hope to see him lift the trophy once again.
#7: Michael Caine
Total No. of Nominations: 6
Won the Oscar for Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) – Supporting Role, The Cider House Rules (1999) – Supporting Role
Most of you must remember Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth from the Dark Knight Trilogy, but in reality, he is much bigger than that one character. He has been in the industry for more than 7 decades and he deserves an Oscar for a leading role.
#8: Maggie Smith
Total No. of Nominations: 6
Won the Oscar for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969) – Leading Role, California Suite (1978) – Supporting Role
Maggie Smith is a legendary actress who also played our favorite Harry Potter, Professor Minerva McGonagall. She is famous for her wit and style and we believe she can make a comeback despite her age.
#9: Sean Penn
Total No. of Nominations: 5
Won the Oscar for Mystic River (2003) – Leading Role, Milk (2009) – Leading Role
Sean Penn is without a doubt the most unpredictable actor in Hollywood as he has given some of the best performances in Hollywood, but he has also made some strange career choices. He might just win the third trophy.
#10: Jodie Foster
Total No. of Nominations: 4
Won the Oscar for The Accused (1988) – Leading Role, The Silence of The Lambs (1991) – Leading Role
Jodie Foster started acting at the age of 6 and she has only grown since then. She has successfully tried her hand in every given genre and we can’t wait to see her more in the future.
