The 1992 awards speak to the excellence of this work of art: 7 Oscar Nominations, including Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Art Direction, Best Actor (Nick Nolte), and Best Supporting Actress (Kate Nelligan).  Why Barbra Streisand was snubbed for a Best Director nomination is a mystery, but she was nominated for a Golden Globe and by the Directors Guild of America.  Nolte also won the Golden Globe for his exemplary performance.
