According to Chatbot BARD:
Deborah Kerr was nominated for six Academy Awards for Best Actress, but she never won. There are a few possible reasons for this.
She was up against stiff competition. In the years that Kerr was nominated, she was competing against some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, and Ingrid Bergman.
She was typecast. Kerr was often cast in the same type of role, that of a beautiful and sophisticated woman. This may have limited her chances of winning an Oscar, as the Academy often rewards actors who take on more challenging roles.
She was not a Hollywood insider. Kerr was not from a wealthy or powerful family, and she did not have the same connections as some of her competitors. This may have made it more difficult for her to get the right roles and the right kind of attention
from the Academy voters.
Whatever the reasons, Kerr's lack of an Oscar win is a major Hollywood snub. She was a talented actress who gave many memorable performances, and she deserves to be recognized for her work.
Here are some of the films for which Deborah Kerr was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress:
1950: Edward, My Son
1952: The Hucksters
1954: From Here to Eternity
1955: The King and I
1957: An Affair to Remember
1959: Separate Tables
Kerr was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama for her performance in From Here to Eternity. She won the award in 1955.
