It's Ridiculous That Richard Gere Didn't Get an Oscar Nomination for Either of His Two Biggest Movies

There are certainly many great actors that have never been nominated for Academy Awards, but the fact that Richard Gerestill has never been recognized is quite ridiculous. Beyond the fact that Gere has given many Oscar-worthy performances, including his incredible role last year in Paul Schrader’s drama Oh, Canada, he has also been at the center of many films that were met with serious acclaim by the industry. Few would argue that Gere didn’t deserve a Best Actor nomination along with his Pretty Woman co-star, Julia Roberts, or alongside his Primal Fear nemesis, Edward Norton. However, it is very surprising that Gere was snubbed for his performances in An Officer and a Gentlemanand Chicago, as he had to watch nearly all of his co-stars be recognized.
