While some movies win 11 Oscars, others suffer the heartbreak of the 'shutout.' The record for the most nominations without a single win is 11, a title shared by two films: 'The Color Purple' (1985) and 'The Turning Point' (1977). Steven Spielberg’s 'The Color Purple' was a massive critical success and received 11 nominations, including Best Picture and three acting nods (Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Margaret Avery). However, on Oscar night, it went 0 for 11. Spielberg wasn't even nominated for Best Director that year, despite winning the Directors Guild of America award. This 'Oscar Black-out' led to significant controversy and remains one of the most surprising winless streaks in the history of the ceremony.
