Academy Award-Nominated Great Films
That Didn't Win a Single Oscar, or Weren't Nominated

Although the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences® has awarded many deserving honors to its nominees over the years (Academy Awards® Winners from 1927/8 to the present), many other Great Films Have Been Entirely Overlooked, receiving not even a single Academy Nomination. Other Great Films were Academy Awards® Nominated but Failed to Win a Single Award. The same can be said for various great acting performances that were snubbed or passed over.

Please note: Oscar omissions and losses are also described
for each year in the complete Oscar history found on this site.
