Today's question: name any of the four films that share the record for the largest numerical difference between Oscar nominations and Oscar wins.
Pictured: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), which received 11 nominations, but captured only one trophy.
The Color Purple.
The Turning Point (1977).
We're halfway there! Both THE COLOR PURPLE and THE TURNING POINT garnered eleven nominations — and not a single win. Two other films also can match that dubious distinction of a difference of eleven.
Johnny Belinda (1948) and Becket (1964).
Jacqui, you are correct! JOHNNY BELINDA and BECKET each received twelve nominations, but took home only one prize.
Today's (Sunday's) question will be a variation of Saturday's query, so I'll hold off citing source material for one more day.
