It didnt win any Oscars because it wasnt even nominated for a single award.

But you cant excuse the Academy for completely ignoringMean Streets.
Just about every year, brilliant movies likeMean Streetsare completely ignored by the Oscars.
History, fortunately, is the ultimate arbiter of greatness.
These are the Non-Nominees.
Why it wasnt nominated:The #OscarSoWhite controversy is about more than representation for people of color.
It moves at a clip thats electric to tell a story thats human to its core.
The Academy overlooked the quality of the filmmaking on display inTangerinebut also the rarity of its subject matter.
