Kaput: Failed Would-Be Oscar Films From 1964 to 2023

The films without any Oscar nominations that were at one point talked about in Oscar but fell apart entirely upon release or the ones which upon release were praised enough at the time to get into the race, but didn't. Some of these films are masterful, some are serviceable, some are bad, and then some are cryptbound. But It's all here, 60 years of failed Oscar Bait, with the intention of including earlier years at a future date.
