Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction received seven Academy Award nominations.
The nominations included Best Picture, Best Director for Tarantino, Best Actor for John Travolta, Best Supporting Actor for Samuel L. Jackson, and Best Supporting Actress for Uma Thurman. The film also competed for Best Film Editing and Best Original Screenplay.
Pulp Fiction won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, shared by Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary. Its other six nominations did not result in wins, although the film’s awards-season impact was substantial. The nominations recognized both the ensemble performances and the film’s distinctive construction.
The ceremony took place in 1995, honoring films released during 1994. This timing can create confusion with the film’s release year: Pulp Fiction is a 1994 film, but the Academy Awards ceremony recognizing it occurred the following year. The total was seven nominations, not seven wins.
