Did you know what actor hold the record for most nominations without ever winning an Oscar in a competitive category?

Peter O'Toole
had eight acting nominations without ever winning an Oscar, for:

O'Toole's nomination	Year	Winner
Lawrence of Arabia	1962	Gregory Peck for To Kill a Mockingbird
Becket	1964	Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady
The Lion in Winter	1968	Cliff Robertson in Charly
Goodbye, Mr Chips	1969	John Wayne in True Grit

The Stunt Man	1980	Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull

Venus	2006	Forrest Whitaker in Last King of Scotland

O'Toole did win an honorary Oscar in 2002 that was inscribed
"Whose remarkable talents have provided cinema history
with some of its most memorable characters." He originally intended
to turn it down feeling that the lifetime award signaled the end
of his career. He wrote the Academy a letter stating that he was
"still in the game" and would like more time to "win the lovely bugger outright."
It was only after the Academy informed him that they
were bestowing the award on him whether he came to collect it or not that he relented.
