It’s awards season! It’s the time of year when millions of people tune in to watch the Oscars and see their favorite artists get awarded for their work in some of the best movies of the year. As an homage to the upcoming Oscars that will be happening on March 10th this year, it’s only fitting to look back at some of the previous top-performing films that have set records for having the most nominations in Oscar history.
✕ Remove Ads 16 'The English Patient' 12 Nominations ✕ Remove Ads While the film has largely been forgotten by general audiences in the nearly 30 years since its release, The English Patient made a massive splash at the 69th Academy Awards, beating out the likes of Fargo and Jerry Maguire to win Best Picture. The film follows Hungarian map maker Count Almásy on his assigned quest to chart the vast expanses of the Sahara Desert in the 1930s.
✕ Remove Ads It comes as no surprise that Fincher's film has captured the hearts of many viewers and film critics. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button received 13 nominations out of the 26 possible categories and won three awards for Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, and Best Makeup. Interestingly and annoyingly, Academy frontrunner Cate Blanchett did not receive an Oscar nomination for her role as Daisy Fuller in the film.
✕ Remove Ads Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is an interesting case, as the film was widely beloved and acclaimed upon its release, as apparent by its various nominations, yet still lost the big award to a film that only received 8 nominations. Time has only served to be incredibly kind to Virginia Woolf, as its themes of relationship struggles and the painful truths and sacrifices made for love still ring true and powerful all these decades later.
✕ Remove Ads Forrest Gump won six of the 13 categories for which the film was nominated. The film took the awards for Best Visual Effects; Best Film Editing; Best Screenplay ; Best Actor ; Best Director; and Best Picture. The Shawshank Redemption, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Pulp Fiction were among the considered nominees for Best Picture.
