55. PETER SELLERS
The Pink Panther (1964)
In 1965, Sellers earned an Oscar nomination for his triple play in Dr. Strangelove. So it's understandable but still unfortunate that he went unnominated for the role that enshrined him forever as the Fred Astaire of slapstick: Inspector Jacques Clouseau. With objects as ordinary as a doorknob and a glass of warm milk, Sellers created a matchless choreography of Continental buffoonery nothing is deliberate or anticipated, and every gag sticks.
