You say no Oscar nominations.  What about Oscar nominations for writing or some other technical skill other than acting?  For example, Mel Brooks has Oscar nominations for writing (he did get acting nominations for Golden Globes, so he would not count because of those).  Groucho Marx and Maureen O'Hara have honorary Oscars, but no acting nominations or awards.

You also say Golden Globe nominations for movies.  WHat about Golden Globe nominations for television acting?  For example, Betty White has nominations for television work, but not movie work.

If I can count them, I vote:

Betty White  (Golden Globes were for television work)

Jean Stapleton (Golden Globes were for television work)

Maureen O'Hara (Honorary Oscar only)

Maureen O'Sullivan (if any of the above don't count)

Groucho Marx (honorary Oscar only)

Jim Hutton

Don Knotts 

Dennis Weaver  (if Groucho doesn't count)

Let me know if I need to find others.

This is an urget issue I've stated wrongly. I guess I have to check if the other persons on the list still count. I specified it in the intro, sorry for that:

No Oscar nominated and no actors/actresses that were nominated for best actor/actress at the Golden Globes.

Which means Oscar for actor, also honorary Oscars for actors, because these are mostly for their acting, I think. And general for actors at the Globes for acting, no matter if it is TV Series or movies. As I said, I have to re-check the list making safe that all guys and galls fit.

For now, I added Maureen O'Hara, Jim Hutton, Don Knotts and Dennis Weaver.

I will re-check all actors at a later time-stamp. Until then all stay on the list. I guess this idea isn't so urgent.

You'll need to swap out Maureen O'Hara for Maureen Sullivan.  O'Hara has an honorary Oscar. 

You might want to include Supporting Actor or Actress in your original question.

@Breumaster​   I first noticed her in National Lampoon's Animal House and then thought she was great a few years later in Raiders of the Lost Ark.  She never disappoints.
