Alfred Hitchcock has topped a poll of directors never to have won an Oscar.

Second in the list of directors who missed out on the ultimate Hollywood accolade but deserved success is 'Goodfellas' director Martin Scorsese, who has been nominated five times since 1981, and who is being tipped for an Oscar this year with 'The Aviator'.
Stanley Kubrick, the late director who was nominated for films like '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'A Clockwork Orange', is third in the survey voted for by the UK public.
Samuel L Jackson, who received a nomination for Quentin Tarantino's hit 'Pulp Fiction', is top of a list of stars who have never received a Best Actor Oscar.
Steve McQueen is second in the survey for the Turner Classic Movies (TCM) TV channel, followed by Welsh-born actor Richard Burton, who received seven nominations for the likes of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' and 'Equus'.
Other actors to make it into the top ten are Tom Cruise, who was nominated for 'Magnolia', 'Jerry Maguire' and 'Born on the Fourth of July', Troy hunk Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis.
Willis's ex-wife Demi Moore, who made a comeback with a cameo role in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, is top of the actress list, despite never even being nominated for an Academy Award.
