Give this man an Oscar already!

Ed Harris is such a passionate actor with a tremendous range yet he is criminally overlooked and underrated. Harris is usually a supporting character or the villain but he almost always steals the show with captivating performances. He's already been nominated 4x so hopefully he (finally) gets a win next time. Fingers crossed.

The reason I'm writing this post is because I included Harris in my Top 10 Best Actors Without Oscars video on my new YouTube channel. If you don't mind, check it out and let me know what you think. I'm trying to get my channel to grow and thought the best way to do that is to share it with my fellow film lovers. If you like it, I'd GREATLY appreciate it if you subscribe. If you don't like it, any constructive criticism is welcomed with open arms. Thanks so much!

I don't know.Some awesome actors and actresses never won Oscars. Every time Amy Adams is nominated and snubbed, my heart sinks. But yeah, Ed Harris is awesome. Eminently watchable, whatever he does. I would have liked to see him win for Pollock.

He should have at least received an Oscar nomination for "The Abyss."

I just watched the Hours and thought his performance was phenomenal. I hope he at least got an Oscar nod for it.

He should have won for Apollo 13, Spacey was good but he was nowhere near Harris' final scene in this movie.

That he was not even nominated for Sweet Dreams and The Abyss is just wrong.

I thought he had cinched it for the Truman Show but alas was not meant to be.

Check him out in Kodachrome. He steals the entire damn movie with ONE scene. You'll know it when you see it...

I just started watching Westworld and love his performance. I also saw him in Top Gun Maverick.

The guy is a such a great actor and has never won an Oscar.

Hollywood should find a way to give him a good script and get him the Oscar.
