Also, did Judy Garland ever win an Oscar ? I’m dying to find out.

In 1973, Chaplin’s film Limelight was honoured with an Oscar for Best Original Score, which he himself composed.

Griffith a Notable Omission? The reason he probably never one an Oscar is because all of his movies were incredibly racist! Also, how come all your examples are actors who acted between 1930 and 1990? Are you like extremely old or something? There are many newer examples than the people you mentioned…

Alfred hitch once said that actors should be treated like cattle. no wonder he never won an oscar!

If ever there was an influential actress in the history of films this was Garbo. She literally changed the concept of screen acting and the image of women in films and fasion all aorund the world. No one has ever had a more lasting effect in shaping the image of women in films like Garbo. Sure, Lillian Gish, Mary Pickford etc were absolutely marvellous, but Garbo was the first popular actress who could appeal equally to men and women and who brought a mature sensuality in her acting, the first truly modern screen actress. She definitely deserved to win the oscar. Shall I name some of her great performances to show that she was much, much more than a pretty face who did not give interviews and thus succeeded in building a mysterious image. Sure, she was mysterious but what made her famous in the first place were her films. She would never have lasted if it were not for her films and scren image which somehow matched and complemented her private image. So some fo her trully great performances: silents: "Flesh and the Devil", "Woman of Affairs", "The mysterious Lady". Talkies "Camille", "Queen Christina, "The painted veil", "Ninotschka", "Anna Karenina" etc. She was the greatest in my opinion and many people thought so as well including other movie greats like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Elia Kazan, Luchino Visconti, Louise Brooks etc
