’s sprawling three-and-a-half-hour look at a gangster’s life received 10 Academy Award nominations on Jan. 13 and came away empty-handed Sunday night.” has now joined five titles that amount to the Oscar snubs hall of fame that hit double figures in nominations, but wound up with nothing at the awards ceremonies. That roster is led by Steven Spielberg’s “The Color Purple” and Herbert Ross’s “The Turning Point,” which both received 11 nominations.
Was resentment against Netflix a factor in the shut-out? The streaming service has been upending the business and has an uneasy relationship with exhibitors. Last year’s best picture win by “Green Book” instead of Netflix’s “Roma” has been interpreted as a manifestation of Academy members’ discomfort over giving the streamer the top prize after “Roma” had a limited theatrical release before streaming the film a month later. “The Irishman” used the same tactic, opening in limited release on Nov.
Pacino and Joe Pesci were nominated in the best supporting actor category. It was Pesci’s third nomination after “Raging Bull” and “Goodfellas,” for which he won the trophy in 1991. It was Pacino’s ninth nomination and his first since “Scent of a Woman” in 1993, when he won his only Oscar. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto received his second Oscar nomination, a dozen years after he was nommed for “Brokeback Mountain.”
