7. Samuel L. Jackson
Even with his growing connection with Scientology, Tom Cruise has had a successful career lasting more than thirty years, filled with multiple hit movies. Remarkably, he has not yet won an Oscar; his most recent nomination was for Best Supporting Actor in Magnolia in 2000. Before that, he was nominated for Best Actor in Jerry Maguire (1997) and Born on the Fourth of July (1989). Cruise regularly produces movies and has done well at the box office, but he has never won the coveted Academy Award, which has left a significant hole in his otherwise excellent record.
