Which Wes Anderson film was nominated for Best Picture at the 2015 Academy Awards?

The Grand Budapest Hotel was nominated for Best Picture at the 2015 Academy Awards.

The film was one of eight Best Picture nominees at the 87th Academy Awards, honoring movies released in 2014. Although it did not win Best Picture, it won four Oscars: Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Original Score.

Its story follows hotel concierge M. Gustave and lobby boy Zero Moustafa through theft, inheritance disputes, political violence, and changing European history. Ralph Fiennes played Gustave, while Tony Revolori played the young Zero. The film’s distinctive aspect ratios and miniature-like production design reinforced its deliberately constructed world.

A common mix-up is with Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox, which received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature, and Moonrise Kingdom, which was not a Best Picture nominee. The Grand Budapest Hotel also earned Anderson his first Best Director nomination.
