11 Movies Nominated For Tons Of Oscars (That Somehow Didn't Win Any)

8. The Godfather Part III (0 For 7)

Considering the overall negative opinion on The Godfather Part III, you might be surprised that it was nominated for any Oscars at all. Even in the context of 1991 it did not make much sense because of the mixed reviews that critics and audiences gave the sequel when it was released. The Academy was probably playing favorites when it showered The Godfather Part III with seven Oscar nominations. While hindsight has judged that the big winner of the 1991 Oscars, Dances with Wolves, is not quite as good as voters thought it was, The Godfather Part III certainly wasn't snubbed. In fact, a much better gangster movie was snubbed that year: Goodfellas. While Dances with Wolves won seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing, most now agree that all those awards should have went to Goodfellas instead. Because of the snubbing of Goodfellas, The Godfather Part III isn't even in the snubbing conversation for the 1991 Oscars. In fact, Godfather star Al Pacino ended up nominated for Best Supporting Actor for a different movie (Dick Tracy) and found himself against his Godfather Part III co-star Andy Garcia. Of course, that Oscar went to Joe Pesci for Goodfellas €“ the only Oscar that Goodfellas won.
