“Being John Malkovich” was nominated for
three Oscars, Director for Spike Jonze, Screenplay (Original)for Charlie Kaufman, and
Supporting Actress for Catherine Keener.

“Sometimes a Great Nation” was nominated for two Oscars, Supporting Actor for Richard Jaeckel, and
Song, “All His Children,” with music by Henry Mancini and lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman.

In 1937, the winner of the Best Actress Oscar was Luise Rainer for “The Good Earth,” a weak performance that must have won due to Louis B. Mayer's campaigning for the Viennese born actress. Another possibility is that the two frontrunners, Barbara Stanwyck for “Stella Dallas” and Garbo for “Camille,” split the votes.

“The Full Monty” was nominated for for Oscars, including Best Picture, winning one, Original Score (Musical/Comedy) by Anne Dudley.

In 2001, Jennifer Connelly competed for and won the Supporting Actress Oscar for “A Beautiful Mind,” in a contest that included Helen Mirren and Maggie Smith, both nominated for Robert Altman's period mystery “Gosford Park,” and Kate Winslet for “Iris.”
