Obviously Sound Mixing is historically one of the more favored areas for musicals to thrive but Costumes and Production Design see the most noms and wins. There’s also the curious case of The Producers (2005). Here was the Tony-winningest musical of all time, coming to the big screen, four Golden Globe nominations in tow and…nothing. Not a single Oscar nomination. Ironic, since the 1968 non-musical version the Broadway musical (and film) was based on was an Oscar winner.
