Year after year, the Oscars snub excellent horror films, but these great past nominees prove why the genre deserves more Awards season love.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Genre films, especially horror, have long been overlooked at the Oscars, with only 61 horror films ever receiving nominations. That's of the nearly 4,000 films that have been recognized in the near century since the Academy first handed out awards. Only six horror movies have made the Best Picture nominees, with only one, The Silence of the Lambs, actually winning.
14 Misery This Rob Reiner-directed Stephen King adaptation stars Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes, an obsessive fan of famous novelist Paul Sheldon, played by James Caan, who she nurses back to health in her home after an accident. At the 63rd Oscars, Bates was the film's sole nominee for her emotionally layered, quietly unsettling, and completely unforgettable performance. It's also the only Stephen King adaptation to win an Oscar.
11 The Lighthouse Jarin Blaschke has worked on all contemporary horror favorites Robert Eggers's films and earned Eggers' film The Lighthouse its single Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography. The Oscars have often chosen cinematography as the place to reward horror films, and Blaschke's ethereal and deeply moody work in black-and-white has a massive hand in setting the tone of this folksy and darkly humorous film.
8 Flatliners Joel Schumacher's 1990 film Flatliners earned its highly stylized tone thanks to the power of its sound effects. With an all-star cast of Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, and Kevin Bacon, to name but a few, this chilling psychological science fiction film follows five medical students who conduct experiments simulating death to find out if there is an afterlife.
5 The Sixth Sense M. Night Shyamalan's hit film The Sixth Sense earned the filmmaker nominations for both his direction and his screenplay at the 72nd Oscars. It also earned nominations for the film's editor, for actors Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette, and the biggest award of the night, Best Picture, though it failed to win any of the six.
