Following a pattern over the last 30 years, the winner of best film has received an Oscar nomination for best picture, except for once a decade – 2014’s “A Most Violent Year,” 2000’s “Quills” and 1998’s “Gods and Monsters.” In the 1980s, there were technically two misses with 1987’s “Empire of the Sun” and 1983’s “Betrayal,” which tied with “Terms of Endearment.” The last selections of NBR have been Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman,” Peter Farrelly’s “Green Book” and George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
In the acting races, the group averages about two of their winners moving on to Oscar nominations. In the major categories of picture, director, acting and screenplay, the group has never had a full match. It can be argued that 1994 is a full match when “Pulp Fiction” and “Forrest Gump” won best film but they gave a career achievement award to William Goldman in their best screenplay category. 1996 is also another debatable year as no screenplay award was given and Edward Norton won for “Everyone Says I Love You” but went on to be nominated at the Oscars for “Primal Fear.”
