It had been some years since Kara and I watched an Academy Awards ceremony live, but this year’s event intrigued me since we’d seen several of the films that were up for the biggest awards. It was also fun watching how the first-time nominees handled themselves, both the losers (like Christopher Plummer and Colin Firth) and the winners (including Mo’Nique and Sandra Bullock).

Sadly, a few of Hollywood’s biggest stars – including one of this year’s hosts – have never even been nominated for the gold trophy. In today’s quiz, we’ll offer you the names of two actors/actresses, and you identify that one that has NEVER been NOMINATED for an acting Oscar. Good luck!
