The more awards a film is nominated for at the Oscars, the more likely it is they will achieve a win. It's relatively rare for a film to be nominated for multiple Oscars and then go on to win absolutely nothing. These are those films that achieved a Clean Loss.

The Turning Point and The Color Purple have the records for most nominations without a single win with 11 total nominations.

A total of a hundred fifty-five Best Picture nominees suffered a clean loss.

Special Note: Technically, Amarcord scored a Clean Loss at the 48th Academy Awards due to it being nominated for 2 Oscars and losing both. However, it will not be included on this list due to the fact that the year prior, it had won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, meaning it did not technically win absolutely nothing.
