'My Man Godfrey'

Did you know that "My Man Godfrey" was the only film to get Academy Award nominations for best screenplay, best director, best actor, best supporting actor, best actress and best supporting actress, and not receive a nomination for best picture?

Also, it was the only film to get all of those nominations and lose them all.

It also featured the great William Powell and the gorgeous Carole Lombard, who were by the time of this film, divorced.

That had to be hard unless divorces were different back then. To be two beautiful people who had once loved each other to star in a film together would be tough.
