\nParamount had all sorts of cold feet regarding the project, which prompted Hitchcock to both pay for the film out of his own pocket and<\/em> forgo his (rather substantial) director’s fee in exchange for 60 percent ownership of the film. This highly uncommon arrangement put a whole lot of money in Hitchcock’s pocket. (Bad move, Paramount.) Plus the film doesn’t even belong to Paramount anymore; it’s been a Universal title since 1968.<\/p>\n
\nNot only was Hitchcock intent on keeping the film under wraps until the last possible minute\u2014he also instructed theaters to not allow anyone in once the film had started. And they did it!<\/p>\n
\nPsycho<\/em> marked the fifth and final time that Hitchcock would earn an Oscar nomination for Best Director. (The Academy gave him the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award<\/span> in 1968.) Yes, you read that right: Alfred Hitchcock never won an Oscar for directing. Let that sink in for a bit.
