In its structure, dialog, and characters (who can beat the iconically mangled Gittes?) Chinatown is regarded as the “perfect” script. In 1974, the film was nominated for 11 Oscars — everything from Best Picture, Best Director for Roman Polanski, Best Actor/Actress for Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway, to Best Art Direction, Cinematography, and Score. However, the only Oscar the film won was for Best Original Screenplay, which went to Robert Towne.
