How many film adaptations of musical adaptations of oscar-nominated films have been nominated for best picture before?

times have changed and we need to make up for the fact that the original was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and failed to win a single Oscar that year.

What in that trailer reminds you of anything you've seen in the past 5 best picture winners? Who have you ever heard or read express the opinion that The Color Purple was robbed? It was fine, and it was part of one of the worst set of best picture nominees ever.

They made this movie because the stage show has been a huge hit, and those often get turned into movies. The Mean Girls musical is also currently being adapted into a movie. (But probably only because the original Mean Girls film didn't win enough Oscars, right?)
