When it came to production firms receiving the Oscar, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer held the record with five victories and 40 nominations. Throughout their history, the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director have been inextricably interwoven. 66 of the 92 films that have won Best Picture have also won Best Director. Only eight directors have two separate productions win Best Picture: Cecil B. DeMille, Frank Capra, Howard Hawks, John Ford, William Wyler, Peter Weir, Quentin Tarantino, and Ang Lee.
There have only been five other occasions when a production company has received more than two Oscars: Twentieth Century Fox with six for Best Picture and Angela Lansbury for Best Supporting Actress in 1990; Paramount with four for Best Picture, Robert Redford for Best Actor, Tom Hooper for Best Direction, and Les Moonves for Best Producer; Universal with three for Best Picture, Steven Spielberg, and Richard Dyer for Best Director; Walt Disney with two for Best Animated Feature and Zemeckis for Best Directing; and Warner Bros. with two for Best Sound Mixing and Best Visual Effects.
Oscars between studios usually go to actors or filmmakers, but every now and then they go to companies. In 1969, Columbia awarded the first of their three wins for Best Picture to Francis Coppola for his work on Godard's Le Mépris.
The filmmakers received several honors and nominations, with Burnham receiving both Writers Guild and Directors Guild of America Awards and Fisher receiving a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress and the Gotham Award for Breakthrough Actor. The film also won two Young Artist Awards.
Eighth Grade is considered a breakthrough movie because it was the first time that a female director had the opportunity to direct a major motion picture. The movie also broke new ground in terms of its subject matter - most films focus on young people, but this one focuses on a young woman who faces many challenges as she tries to succeed in school and life while dealing with issues such as depression and anxiety.
Eighth Grade has been praised for its realistic portrayal of teenage life. Many critics say it's accurate and honest, especially about adolescence and social media.
Burns created the movie with her friends from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. They wanted to make a movie that would speak to young people today by telling the story of a real girl living in today's world. She wrote the script after interviewing dozens of teenagers for information and material.
Eighth Grade tells the story of 16-year-old Molly (played by actress Zoey Deutch) who lives in New York City and goes to school during the last week of August.
Nominations for seven Academy Awards were announced on January 24, 1995. It was then the most-nominated film in Oscar history. At the time of its release, some critics called it a "box-office bomb" because it failed to earn back its $60 million production budget. However, it went on to make more than $100 million worldwide.
It won three Oscars: for Best Adapted Screenplay, which had been written by William Goldman; and for Best Picture. This made Out of Africa the first film ever to win the top prize at the Oscars twice. Its director, Nelson Mandela, became only the second black person (after Ossie Davis) to receive an Oscar. The other two nominees were expected to be Dreamgirls and Forrest Gump. Although this is not widely recognized today, when Out of Africa was first released in North America, it was not considered a serious contender for any awards. It is only after its subsequent success that it began to receive attention from both voters and filmmakers.
Out of Africa has also won several other awards including two Golden Globes, four BAFTAs, and one David di Donatello Award.
