Donald Sutherland was never nominated for an Oscar based on one of his performances.

Sutherland: “I never expected to be nominated — ever,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “The reality was working and doing the work as well as you could and avoiding reading reviews and getting to the heart of the truth of something with the director. 2/3

The fact that Donald Sutherland was around as long as he was and was never cast as the lead in a movie about Kurt Vonnegut is a failure. I suppose his character in Animal House is the closest we got.

Astonishing he was never nominated for an Academy Award. RIP Donald Sutherland.

He was never even nominated for an academy award?!

Astonishing to me that Donald Sutherland not only won no Oscars -- he was never even nominated.
