So basically I was looking up different Paul Thomas Anderson films tonight and began looking up various awards for the films he directed. And by the time I got around to Magnolia I was surprised by the fact that Julianne Moore wasn’t nominated for Best Supporting Actress. For various reasons I had simply assumed, for years apparently, that she had been nominated for it.
And I don’t believe it’s simply a case of mixing up Boogie Nights, for which she was a major Oscar contender for, and Magnolia, but who knows? I simply assumed she had been nominated for both performances.
Do you have any experiences like this?

Happens to me occasionally but I'm pretty obsessive/nerdy about this shit so not often. Just recently I forgot A Serious Man had been nominated for Best Picture so that's something.

I keep forgetting Tess Harper wasn't nominated for Tender Mercies.

This use to happen to me all the time with Malcolm X. I assumed that Spike Lee and Arnold Perl were nominated for adapted screenplay, but no the only other nomination the film received outside of best actor, were for its costumes

I always forget she wasn't nominated here too but let's get real here: if there was a supporting actress nod then Melora Walters should have been it. |

I always assume Bardem was nominated for The Sea Inside - and I just paused writing this to double-check before I posted! I feel like checking again already - he wasn't??

I could have sworn Alan Arkin was nominated for Wait Until Dark.

My subconscious always thinks Sheen got a Best Actor nomination for Apocalypse Now and I have to consciously remember that he didn't. Same type deal with Malcolm McDowell in Clockwork Orange and Perkins in Psycho and 2001 for a BP nom.

I always thought Jimmy Stewart was nominated for Rear Window and/or Vertigo.

With Perkins and his infamous snub for Psycho and even missing out for The Trial, I always forget he's an Oscar nominated actor and that it was for Friendly Persuasion. |

Something somewhat in relation to this though at seemingly a grander scale, though I was not effected myself, was that for the longest time multiple sources stated Anthony Quinn's screentime was far more brief in Lust For Life, than it actually was. Many stating it was a ridiculous win based around that he was only in the film for like 3 minutes, which is inaccurate.

I was actually surprised when I saw it a few years back that Quinn had as much screen time as he had, since all I had heard was that he was barely in it. |

I always think that Scarlett Johansson was nominated for her performance in Lost in Translation.

Sally Field in Forrest Gump is the go-to answer for me.

There are probably many I can't list because I don't know I'm wrong yet, but I still surprise myself when I remember Carol wasn't nominated for Best Picture (even now, I had to look it up to be sure). I know the Best Director snub was egregious enough, I try to forget it didn't even make it in the expanded BP field.
I always think Gosling was nominated for Lars and the Real Girl, or at least for something else besides Half Nelson and La La Land.

The go-to answer for me here is "Gone with the Wind" losing Best Original Score. Like, even when I look at the list of nominees and winners and see that "The Wizard of Oz" actually won, I still find it hard to believe and think that something must be wrong.

Cold Mountain as a Best Picture nominee. I feel like in a few years I’ll forget Carol and Foxcatcher weren’t nominated.

Close Encounters missed a Best Picture nomination despite being nominated for nearly every other award.

I keep tricking myself with this one and even just now had to double check....in my head I always think Taxi Driver was nominated for Director but not Picture, rather than the reality that it was the other way around. Doesn’t compute.

Oh honey, I tend to forget that I haven't been nominated... but that's neither here or there, is it?
Surely it is about mass love... that... and how much you can charge for it.

Similar, but in an opposite direction, I was shocked when I learn that The Dresser and Hope & Glory were best picture and best director nominees. It's easy to forget now, because both movies have fallen off the map quite hard, but they were seriously Oscar contenders in the 1980s. It doesn't mean either film was bad, in fact The Dresser is wonderful, and shamefully underseen, but it's something that always comes as a surprise to me.
