Peter Sellers won the Oscar for "Being There", so not sure how obscure it is. A bit of a classic.

Nominated, didn't win. Lost out to Dustin Hoffman in Kramer vs. Kramer. Not that something can't be nominated for an Oscar and still be relatively obscure. Case in point--



Probably in my top five favorite films of all time and no one under the age of 40 has ever heard of it. Nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. According to director Richard Rush "it wasn't released, it escaped." And, other than saying it is a movie about movies I have no earthly idea how to remotely explain the story and the plot without spoiling everything. It's one of those A Clockwork Orange/Blue Velvet what in the hell am I watching and what in the hell is going on films.
