16. Ray Liotta In The Sopranos
Considering Liotta made a career out of playing the wiseguy types, it’s not terribly shocking that he was approached for the main role of conflicted mob boss Tony Soprano in the HBO hit.

Anne also won an award that year (though not quite as big), bagging a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for “Les Miserables.”
