David Fincher’s Mank might have been the most nominated film of 2021, but his cult serial killer drama Zodiac failed to receive a single Oscar nomination.
Yet another Howard Hawks screwball comedy starring Cary Grant that criminally failed to secure a single Oscar nomination.
Breathless’ failure to receive a nomination is proof of why the Oscars do not generate huge amounts of respect among the film community.
It stands head and shoulders above several other films nominated during that period, so the lack of a nomination is quite surprising.
