Hitchcock should have, but he didn't exactly need the Academy for everyone to know how great he was.

Joan Allen (nominated 3 times)
She should've won for her role as Pat Nixon. I think that was the year Marisa Tomei won and shocked everyone. (Though not everyone: I remember some pundit did predict Tomei's win the day before the Oscars)
Ed Harris (nominated 4 times)
Definitely one of the best actors out there.

O'Toole could win this year, for his role in "Venus."

I agree with MM. Ed Harris should've won several times over.

Martin Scorsese might win for the Departed this year.

I believe it was George C. Scott who called the Oscars a "meat parade." I tip my hat to you, Mr. Scott!

I believe Mr. Scott (who will always be one of my favorite actors) is the only actor to ever refuse an Oscar.

nope. Brando did it in '72, and had a native American woman come to the stage and decline the honour on his behalf...

Surprised that I forgot about that, thanks!

A lot of the observers are picking this one - it would be good to see.
I have always felt sorry for Annette Benning - to be beaten twice by the same person is not very cool.
