The film received nine Academy Award nominations and no wins (including nominations for the four supporting performances, which tied a record set by "On the Waterfront" in 1955. This record later was matched by "Tom Jones" in 1963, "The Last Picture Show" in 1971 and "The Godfather Part II" in 1974). The film's 9 Oscar nominations without a win also tied the record with the film "The Little Foxes" in 1941. This record was surpassed by the films "The Turning Point" in 1977 and "The Color Purple" in 1985 (both films received 11 nominations without a single win).
