Let me add Alan Rickman ("Die Hard"), James Gandolfini ("The Sopranos") , Ray Liotta ("Goodfellas"), Bruce Willis ("Pulp Fiction"), Andy Serkis ("The Lord of the Rings"), Daniel Craig ("Road to Perdition"), Ewan McGregor ("Trainspotting"), Sam Rockwell ("Moon"), Mads Mikkelsen ("Pusher II") and then young actors such as Tom Hardy ("Bronson"), Michael Fassbender ("Hunger"), Ben Mendelsohn ("Animal Kingdom") and Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("Brick").

Since Guy Pearce starred in 2 Oscar winners back to back, he could follow John O’Reilly’s path by starring in 3 best pic nominees.

When is he not awesome? Even in the cheesy comedies he does every now and then he's always the best thing in them.

Weird.

Two favs of mine are in this list: Steve Buscemi and John Turturro. But really, of these five the one who should have received the award already is Sutherland. Don't forget his performance in Novecento by Bertolucci, brilliantly gruesome as it is…

He should've been nominated for: Best Actor:
Trainspotting (1996)
Moulin Rouge! (2001)
Beginners (2011)
The Impossible (2012)

Best Supporting Actor:
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)
Black Hawk Down (2001)
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005).
Ewan McGregor should have won 3 Academy Awards: for Best Actor in Trainspotting (1996) and for Best Supporting Actor for Black Hawk Down (2001) and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005).
Hey, my thinking is, if Alec Guinness could get an Oscar nomination for the original Star Wars, and was in the last two for a couple of minutes in each, why wouldn't McGregor, who helped add more depth to Obi-Wan Kenobi over three films, get an Academy Award, or at the very least a nomination?
Not trying to say Guinness was bad as Kenobi, he was phenomenal, but McGregor did help give Kenobi more depth that, while it wasn't asked, did help bring Obi-Wan more importance and you liked him more as you saw him develop in the three films. Also I believe McGregor's Kenobi becomes Guinness Kenobi.

The Doors, Tombstone, The Salton Sea and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang are a few tremendous performances that come to mind.

He's got a lot of talent. He was amazing in The Fountain!

Only additions I would add are Brendan Gleeson, Alan Rickman and under the "Probably Too Young To Be Called Overdue" category: Paul Dano and Ewan McGregor.

From Q&A to Mambo Kings to other oh so many stellar Oscar-nomination-worthy performances. And please let's not forget Ed Harris who deserves to take home one real soon.

I strongly second Anthony Mackie and John Goodman!
