They Can't Win For Trying

Landsbury, now 90, never won a major award
With all of the squabbling about Oscar diversity, one thing is clear - there's certainly diversity in those actors who have never won either an Oscar or Emmy and which come first to mind when discussing Hollywood's finest.  Representing some of the hardest-working, dedicated, and very well known actors whose films have generated mega-box office bucks.  Here's the surprising list:

Tom Cruise: 3 Oscar Noms. / 0 Emmy Noms.
Angela Lansbury: 3 Oscar Noms. / 18 Emmy Noms.
Brad Pitt: 3 Oscar Noms. / 1 Emmy Nom.
Scarlett Johansson: 0 Oscar Noms. / 0 Emmy Noms.
Harrison Ford: 1 Oscar Nom. / 0 Emmy Noms.
Will Smith: 2 Oscar Noms. / 0 Emmy Noms.
Gary Oldman: 1 Oscar Nom. / 1 Emmy Nom.
Johnny Depp: 3 Oscar Noms. / 0 Emmy Noms.
Samuel L. Jackson: 1 Oscar Nom. / 0 Emmy Noms.
Amy Adams: 5 Oscar Noms. / 0 Emmy Noms.
Max von Sydow: 2 Oscar Noms. / 2 Emmy Noms.
Sigourney Weaver: 3 Oscar Noms. / 3 Emmy Noms.
Edward Norton: 3 Oscar Noms. / 0 Emmy Noms.
Steve Buscemi: 0 Oscar Noms. / 6 Emmy Noms.

The actors on this list have pretty much done it all and played a huge diversity of roles - they just don't seem to be well liked by the awards folks.  Critics, the press, and fellow actors should stop grumbling about awards diversity and why so-and-so didn't get such-and-such and reflect on this list of non-winners.
