Greetings Breezles,

  The Oscars are less than a week away and while I have been making my predictions on who will take home the prize I have also been thinking about the actors who have been nominated multiple times, but have yet to receive the golden statue.  Below is a list of 10 talented actors who have had many nominations, but no wins yet.

Who do you hope will win the Academy Award for best actor and actress this year?

♥, E
