Waterworld, Norbit... Remember these Academy Award nominees? Let's take a look back at some of the Oscar-nominated films you totally forgot about.
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, starring Johnny Knoxville, nabbed an Oscar nom for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, making it the first Jackass film to be nominated for an Academy Award. We are saying "first" because, who knows now? The barriers have been broken down. Where you at, Steve-O?
We all surely remember Nicolas Cage's Academy Award win for Leaving Las Vegas (1995), but did you know his film Con Air (1997) scored two nominations, for Best Score and Best Original Song?
The Kevin Costner flick Waterworld may have gotten some recognition at the Razzies, but that's not all! The movie won the Oscar for Best Sound, too.
Norbit is not an Oscar winner. (Bummer! We know.) However, the Eddie Murphy comedy did nab a nom for Best Achievement in Makeup.
Don't worry about Eddie Murphy losing out on Norbit, though. The Nutty Professor scored a win for Best Achievement in Makeup.
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace was nominated for three Academy Awards, for Best Sound Editing, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Mixing. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones nabbed a nom for Best Visual Effects. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith scored a nom for Best Achievement in Makeup.
The Val Kilmer Batman movie was honored with a trio of Oscar nominations, for: Best Cinematography, Best Sound, and Best Sound Effects Editing.
Another campy hit with an Oscar nom under its belt: Crocodile Dundee was nominated for Best Original Screenplay. Believe it, mate.
Three 6 Mafia's jam "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp" won an Oscar for Best Original Song, which was featured in Hustle & Flow. So it's not that hard for a pimp, huh? Or at least for a pimp-related song to nab an Academy Award.
This Austin Powers sequel got some love from the Academy with a nom for Best Achievement in Makeup. That Fat Bastard character did look like it took some work.
Bridesmaids' Melissa McCarthy scored a Best Supporting Actress nomination, you know, for a movie where she s--ts in a sink. The film also nabbed a Best Original Screenplay nomination.
The Oscar-nominated film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (yup) was one of the contenders for an award in Best Sound Mixing.
The scary cool makeup in the Anthony Hopkins and Benicio De Toro version of The Wolfman received an Oscar nomination.
As for the film Junior, the movie with Danny DeVito, Emma Thompson, and a pregnant Arnold Schwarzenegger? It has Academy Award nominee status, thanks to the song "Look What Love Has Done."
Another film that was an Oscar nominee thanks to a memorable song, this Beethoven sequel scored a nom for the tune "The Day I Fall in Love."
Murphy's gotten quite a bit of recognition from the Academy. In case you forgot, his film Beverly Hills Cop was an Academy Award nominee for Best Screenplay.
That Snow White movie with Lily Collins and Julia Roberts? It nabbed an Oscar nom for Best Achievement in Costume Design.
Remember this Academy Award-nominated Steven Seagal movie? Under Siege received noms in two categories: Best Sound and Best Sound Effects Editing.
Another comedy that has received a nomination for Best Achievement in Makeup? The Adam Sandler film Click.
Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah's mermaid rom com Splash was nominated for Best Screenplay but didn't go home with Oscar gold.
