Because if they started giving them oscars, then they wouldn't be doing the same quality of work. It's like, now they'll try even harder in order to get this award that they obviously deserve.
my theory is that these are the popular actors and can get millions for their movies/salary, oscar winners need the nomination or win to get better parts for themselves and they don't rely on their looks but mainly on their talent. fyi, tom cruise received an oscar nomination
Well, I didn't *like* him, but I thought his performance was really good.
