Oscar Context
The most nominated film in 1983, “Terms of Endearment” received five Oscars out of its 11 nominations, including Best Picture and Director for James L. Brooks.
The action-adventure “The Right Stuff,” won four technical wards out of 8 nominations, but denied its director Philip Kaufman a nod. The other contenders were smaller, more intimate dramas, such as “The Big Chill,” “The Dresser,” and “Tender Mercies.”
