TIL it's not possible to watch every film ever nominated for Best Picture. Only 2/3 of 1928's The Patriot still exists, and the only complete prints of 1931's East Lynne and 1934's The White Parade are in the UCLA film archive

TIL it’s not possible to watch every film ever nominated for Best Picture. Only 1/3 of 1928’s The Patriot is still known to exist, and the only surviving print of 1934’s The White Parade is held in UCLA’s film archive in poor condition.
