Hello, I'm Hey man im josh. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:49, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
I can understand why you misconstrued the superlative that They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969) holds. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), The Dark Knight (2008), Dreamgirls (2006), The Poseidon Adventure (1972), and Ragtime (1981)…possibly a few others I can't think of at the moment…all come close with 8 nominations without a BP nomination!
But the oft-mistaken trivia here is due to the miscomprehension caused by the Honorary Awards. The Academy Awards doled out Special Achievement Awards to two of the above films. Poseidon earned honorary Visual FX prior to that category's existence and Close Encounters got a sound effects honorary trophy. And I presume these are the 2 that have misled you.
However, as I explained in the hidden note, those do NOT factor into the nomination tally as they are non-competitive awards. Since the record is in regards to most nominations without a Best Picture nomination, only categories in which a film could potentially lose are included. Those bonus awards for the aforementioned films are simply an extra award, a +1, for an overall tally. Make sense? --Cinemaniac86TalkStalk 07:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
