Author Comments: 

None of these people have ever received an Academy Award nomination for acting (although some of them may have won honorary awards).

Suggestions are welcome.

Two suggestions:
Dean Martin and,
the great, marvellous, fantastic Christopher Lee
I hope that the last one will sometime at least get an honorary award.

Jim Carrey?

Carrey is a very funny actor, but many of his movies have not exactly been Academy-friendly, meaning I would not be that surprised that he was never nominated. I would still add him on the basis of his Truman Show performance, but I'm going to hold off and see the nominations for this year first. If he's not nominated for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I'll add him then. Feel free to remind me if I forget.
