Name the last film to receive an Oscar nomination in only one category: Best Picture.
Pictured: All About Eve (1950), which joins Titanic (1997) as the Best Picture nominee (each won) with the most nominations (14).

Hmmm. That's a tough one. Was it a foreign film?
No, not a foreign film.
Fahrenheit 9/11??
No. That film won the Palme d'Or, but it was not a Best Picture nominee.
Grand Hotel (1932).
GRAND HOTEL is the only film to WIN the Best Picture award while receiving no other nominations.

But it is NOT the last (or most recent) film to capture a Best Picture nomination while receiving no other nominations.
Aargh – this one is really hard.
The Ox-Bow Incident?
Colin is correct: The Ox-Bow Incident is the last film to receive only one nomination, and that sole nomination being for Best Picture.
The Best Picture winner that year? CASABLANCA.
