Joaquin Phoenix, 3 nominations

This actor isn’t one that takes kindly to the idea of Hollywood – a social outcast, we wonder if he’d attend the ceremony and collect the award if it was ever given to him. It comes to no surprise then that the Academy prefer for more typical people to land the statuette – people who play by the rules. Gladiator, Walk the Line and The Master were all enough for Joaquin to be nominated, but none saw him win the prize. Joaquin is still a fresh player in the Hollywood game, so it may be that an Oscar lies somewhere ahead in his future.
