The “Great To Be Nominated” series, featuring the picture from each Academy Awards year that received the most nominations without winning the Best Picture award, begins its fifth and final season with two titles in April, then continues throughout the spring and summer.
Each evening will also include animated and live action short subjects, original advertising trailers, outtakes and other surprises to offer up a snapshot of that particular year.
