It’s complain-about-Oscar day, so here’s another stat to get your fingers firing: of the top five grossing franchises, Harry Potter is the only one to have not won an Academy Award.
E! Online notes the interesting facts:
George Lucas’ Stars Wars movies won eight competitive Oscars. The James Bond adventures have picked up two. The Batman iterations to date own three wins, including a Best Supporting Actor trophy for Heath Ledger. The Shrek franchise distinguished itself from the get-go with the inaugural win in the Animated Feature category.
And then at No. 1 there’s Harry Potter: 12 nominations, zero wins.
