From Garrett Levin:
The King’s Speech (12 nominations) and True Grit (10 nominations) have a chance to join two very select clubs this year. In one of my earlier questions, the topic was films that batted 1000 and won every award for which they were nominated (minimum of 4 nominations). There are only three members of the batting 0 club for films with 10 or more nominations. Name the three films that had at least 10 nominations, but no wins.
Pictured: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), a film that earned eleven nominations — but took home only one prize.
I think The Color Purple is one of them.
That is correct. One down, two to go.
Gangs of New York
Also correct. Two down, one to go.
