Alfred Hitchcock/YMMV

  • Award Snub: One of the most famous. He never won a competitive Academy Award (he did win an honorary award late in his career). Inexplicably, one of his films (Rebecca) won best picture without him winning anything for it.
    • Alas, he might have won something if he put his name beside David Selznick, as a producer.
  • Fridge Brilliance: In a way this applies to Hitchcock's entire career. For a long time he was not given appropriate credit for his genius; then in the late 1950s French New Wave critics started to look at his films not just as lurid thrillers but as artistic works with extraordinary psychological depth.
