“Train Dreams” went home without hardware at Sunday night’s 98th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
The film had received four Oscar nominations — for best picture, best adapted screenplay, best cinematography and best song.
Filmmaker Clint Bentley’s made-in-Washington drama was filmed entirely in the Pacific Northwest. Eastern Washington landscapes become “a vivid, essential character in the film, silent yet nonetheless articulate,” Seattle Times arts critic Moira Macdonald wrote earlier this month.
The film is based on a similarly haunting novella by Denis Johnson. The story follows Joel Edgerton’s Robert Grainier, who spends his life in the forests of the Northwest and elsewhere around Washington and the Idaho panhandle.
