Fair use rationale for Image:49000gLNk w.jpg
Image:49000gLNk w.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Tod Browning
Director Tod Browning tried unsuccessfully to get MGM to buy the rights to the book. Its subject matter would have fitted in with his carnivalesque films like The Unknown and Freaks. (from "Dark Carnival" by David J. Skal & Elias Savada) 119.11.17.131 (talk) 05:14, 24 August 2009 (UTC) MBG

Film HOLDS record for most Oscar nods without BP nomination.
First of all, good trivia, @BenzingtonBarbarell. But you forgot Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and The Poseidon Adventure (1972)! (I linked the respective ceremonies, by the way.)

And secondly, the reason I mention those two films is because I can understand why @174.44.112.170 misinterpreted the circumstances. The Academy Awards doled out Special Achievement Awards to those two films. Poseidon earned honorary Visual FX prior to that category's existence and Close Encounters got a sound effects honorary trophy.

However, as I explained in the hidden note and on 174's talk page, 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. --Cinemaniac86TalkStalk 06:59, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
