Oscar Context
In 1981, the British sports melodrama “Chariots of Fire,” was the surprise winner of the Best Picture Oscar, with 7 nominations and four awards, including Original Score to Vangelis.
The other four nominees were (alphabetically): Louis Malle's “Atlantic City,” The schmaltzy family saga “On Golden Pod,” with 10 nods, Warren Beatty's semi-successful epic “Reds,” which received the largest number of nominations (12), and Spielberg's nostalgic adventure “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”
The winner of the Supporting Actress Oscar was Maureen Stapleton for “Reds.” “Raiders of the Lost Ark” won the Sound and Editing Oscars.
