Q: Has Edward Norton ever won an Oscar? Maybe he is heading for the same unrecognized fate that Leo DiCaprio was stuck in for so long.
You're right, Edward Norton has never won an Oscar, but more surprising, perhaps, is the fact that he hasn't been nominated for that many.
When Leonardo DiCaprio finally got his statue, for 2015's "The Revenant," it was his sixth nomination, with the first a little over two decades ago, for 1993's "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?"
Norton has only been nominated three times, his first coming almost as early, for 1996's "Primal Fear."
