Reactions of Oscar winners epitomises the ceremony's element of surprise. We see big industry names often beaten by underdogs and outsiders. These women have all had Oscar nominations, but where all disappointed at the final hurdle.
8. Toni Collette : One of Hollywood's most critically acclaimed is still awaiting her first Oscar after three decades in the spotlight.
7. Helena Bonham Carter: A diverse character who likes to work with her friends Tim Burton and Johnny Depp; neither of which have won Oscars either.
6. Michelle Pfeiffer: From humble beginnings with her role 'Grease 2', Michelle Pfeiffer's managed three Oscar nominations and four decades in film.
5. Michelle Williams: Another Michelle, but this time with four nominations. All of which achieved in little over ten years.
4. Sigourney Weaver: Incredibly, Sigourney, with three nominations, got two of them in 1989 for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, but lost out on both occasions.Incredibly, Sigourney, with three nominations, got two of them in 1989 for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, but lost out on both occasions.
3. Annette Bening: Cast aside four times, Annette arguably came closest in 2000 for her role in 'American Beauty' where she was beaten by Hilary Swank, who's won twice in two attempts.
2. Amy Adams: Few can outclass Amy Adams, and no doubt she'll soon be a serious contender once again when she gets a sixth nomination.
1. Glenn Close: Three nominations in a row back in the 1980s and six nominations in total, but the waiting still continues for Glenn.
