Prime examples include, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Glenn Close (although she's nominated this year for The Wife), Edward Norton and Annette Benning, among many others who've received nominations but fell short of sealing the deal.

He feigned being stood up in a restaurant, elicited sympathy from both staff and patrons and got a free steak. </p><p><div id="action_button_container"></div></p><p>And the winner of tonight's dinner is...@baconflavoring!
