In 1986, which film received 11 Oscar nominations, but it did not win any Oscars?
Correct answer: The Color Purple
Delta_Fox56
It's not a mistake that I don't watch the Oscars. Too many of the movies and actors, mostly people of color, never seem to receive their rewards for their hard work and dedication to their craft.

Im shocked that it didnt win as its one of my fave books/movies of all time. Superb film ! A must read too.

It should have won.

speilberg was snubbed for ET also. old hacks voting for awards. Color Purple should have won many awards.

HKush4483, i am WHITE and I don't just think Hollywood is racist. They have proven it over and over. Many minority actors have been slighted by the whiteness of the academy and emmy awards voters, in favor of, you guessed it, white actors. It is systemic in Hollywood and that is why I really don't care who wins any more. Nor do I care what critics have to say. I watch what I like regardless.

Really good movie. Great book! Movie was robbed at 'that' awards ceremony, but it doesn't take anything away from this film.

I actually hated Out of Africa I thought it was an excruciating boring movie... The Color Purple was a much better film

Peyton
Of course, this film was directed by Spielberg. He's one of the greatest film directors in history

Daryl, it should have got many awards. it was amazing!
Yani
Metalbeard, Many favor one minority but hate another.
Yani
MistakenDormouse7190, Another of my favorite films.
Yani
Gryphon, Agree about both.
Yani
Delta_Fox56, Haters will hate almost anything. I think we know why no Oscars in this case. one of my personal favorite movies.
Timmy
Delta_Fox56, I agree! Morgan Freeman did a superb job in the movie "Driving Miss Daisy" and received no awards!
Metalbeard
Love the movie. Definitely should have won. However, my comment is directed towards those who call Hollywood racist. It amazes me what people "think" they know. I am literally watching the Emmy's right now and Shōgun just won an Emmy for their show and it is based on Asian Samurai history. I believe that is minority based show, just sayin. Don't give up on us as a country. Their is definitely more good in the world than what you all read or see on the internet. Fact check. Do your own research and think for yourself. Not what others want you to believe.

That's CRAZY!! 11 nominations & not 1 Oscars!! Guess Hollywood wasn't to give a black 🌟 case their due. I suppose they couldn't relate to them

it's crucial for folks to see the Oscar's as a presentation to be rated subjectively just as the films they judge and award.
it's an entertainment program and not a diffinitive guide to the best in cinema of the previous year.
it's the opinion of their board members.
Nubianmom
It should have won. Instead, Out of Africa won best picture
Marciano
Gryphon, Much better hated? Why? Please, explain.
marimargo
Hollywood not only snubs people of color. You have to have the money and the "kiss up personality" to get anywhere. And don't forget the directors who must have set with you for you to make it.
SweetDee
MistakenDormouse7190, I totally agree with your assessment 🥹
Otis
😲 That's definitely unfair on all levels
Veronica
Tina, the color purple should have won.
