14. Jeff Daniels (1955– ) 杰夫·丹尼爾斯

Daniels was about the only person not recognised for James L. Brooks’s Terms of Endearment (1983), and he’s managed to cruise his way though a durable Hollywood career, clowning it up here and there, supplying a bitter gravitas elsewhere, without bagging one.
在詹姆斯·L.·布魯克斯執導的《母女情深》中，丹尼爾斯大概是唯一一位沒有成名的演員了。他試著在漫長的好萊塢演藝生涯中不斷摸索，時而四處扮丑，時而扮演悲情但自尊的正經角兒，卻依然和小金人無緣。

Most robbed for: Actor, 2005 – He surely came closest for Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale (it's what his character, a pompous lecturer in mid-divorce, would call “the filet” of Daniels).
失之交臂：最佳男主角，2005——他在諾亞·鮑姆巴赫執導的《烏賊與鯨》表現出色，絕對符合奧斯卡提名的標準（丹尼爾斯飾演一位身陷離婚危機的自負的演說家，可以說是丹尼爾斯的本色出演）。
