 Instead Hans W. Geißendörfer's "The Glass Cell" was chosen to be the official German submission.Almost one year later the film was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 37th Golden Globe Awards, but this success was overshadowed by the success of Volker Schlöndorff's "The Tin Drum" at the 52nd Academy Awards.The commercial success of "The Marriage of Maria Braun" strengthened the negotiation position of Fassbinder in his subsequent film projects.
