[[File:Citizen-Kane-Welles-Coulouris.jpg|thumb|right|The [[National Board of Review]] recognized both Welles and [[George Coulouris]] for their performances in ''Citizen Kane'', which was also voted the best film of 1941.]]
It was widely believed the film would win most of its [[Academy Award]] nominations, but it received only the award for [[Best Original Screenplay]]. ''Variety'' reported that block voting by screen extras deprived ''Citizen Kane'' of [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]] and [[Academy Award for Best Actor|Best Actor]], and similar prejudices were likely to have been responsible for the film receiving no technical awards.<ref name="Carringer TMOCK"/>{{Rp|117}}<ref>{{Cite journal |date=March 4, 1942 |title=Extras Scuttled Welles |url=https://archive.org/stream/variety145-1942-03#page/n3/mode/1up |journal=Variety |access-date=February 23, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170317171257/http://www.archive.org/stream/variety145-1942-03#page/n3/mode/1up |archive-date=March 17, 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>
