與奧斯卡獎無緣的20名偉大演員

19. John Cusack (1966– ) 約翰·庫薩克

Many of his films (The Grifters, Bullets over Broadway, Being John Malkovich) have been rather big hits with the Academy, but Cusack’s neurotic protagonists never quite charge to the front. You feel he’s still waiting for the signature, mid-career role that will bring him into the fold.
他的許多作品（《致命賭局》，《子彈橫飛百老匯》，《傀儡人生》）都在奧斯卡大受歡迎，但庫薩克所扮演的神經病主角并沒有顯得亮眼，你能感受到他還在等待，希望在職業生涯中期獲得一個獨特的角色，將他送入奧斯卡的大門。

Most robbed for: Supporting Actor, 1998 – There’s almost too much great ensemble work in The Thin Red Line for any one player to stand out, but Cusack’s Capt. Gaff is fatigued, watchful and invaluable.
失之交臂：最佳男配角，1998——《細細的紅線》是一部整體效果相當優秀的電影，所有演出人員的表演都十分到位，反倒使得個人很難綻放異彩了。但庫薩克將加沃上尉的疲憊、警惕和價值表現得淋漓盡致。
