Just something to do. Nominee? Winner? Any other categories? Before the Oscars existed?

Mine:
All About Eve - Best Picture Winner, 1950 (not to mention 14 nominations, a record only shared with Titanic)

Sort of unlikely considering most of my other absolute favorites didn't receive a ton of Academy recognition.

Favorite Film: Before Sunset

Nominated for Best Original Screenplay, 2004 (or was it Adapted?)

Edward Scissorhands - nominated for Best Makeup. It lost.

Looking back, I can see why it wasn't nominated for Best Picture (it's an abstract-expressionist fantasy... not an academy fave), but that it didn't even get a nomination for Best Production Design/Costume or (especially) Music is a crime, and just goes to show how bloody wrong the Oscars get it sometimes.

Also, I had no idea Johnny Depp was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance. Although the fact it was for Comedy/Musical kinda detracts from the honour somewhat.

I don't have a clear fav. But off my top 5, only one movie got nominated for BP and won (The Silence of the Lambs).


Some of my favorites were just lucky to be there for something, like make-up (Edward Scissorhands. :|). Some were more close to that Picture nom but got snubbed in the end (Psycho, Aliens, The Truman Show, A Fish Called Wanda, ...). I hope Atonement doesn't join this last list.

Only one film in my top ten even got a Picture nominee, and that was L.A. Confidential, which obviously lost to the behemoth of Titanic.

Ditto (well, L.A. Confidential is actually something like my #11, but it still counts).

of all my top films...

Schindler's List - Won
Raging Bull - Nominated
Munich - Nominated
Chinatown - Nominated
Fellowship of the Ring - Nominated

There Will Be Blood will likely end up among these films, and will at least be a "Nominated"

So I start out with a bang then drop off.

Superman: The Movie

Three nominations, zero wins

Best Film Editing - Stuart Baird
Best Music, Original Score - John Williams
Best Sound - Gordon K. McCallum, Graham V. Hartstone, Nicolas Le Messurier, Roy Charman

It did however win a special achievement award for visuals effects, which from the looks of it seems to have been before that category was created.
