Best Answer

John Wayne's film performances were largely overlooked during his career. He was nominated only twice for Best Actor -- for "The Sands of Iwo Jima" (1949) and "True Grit" (1969). He won for his performance in the latter film as U.S. Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn.

For the same reason John Ford wasn't nominated as Best Director. Basically, its greatness was not recognized at the time.

Incredibly, this film received ZERO nominations by either the Oscars{R} or the Golden Globes.
