To the best of my knowledge, no actors from Elevator to the Gallows received any major award nominations or wins for their performances. The film's strengths were primarily in its direction by Louis Malle, its cinematography, and particularly its iconic score by Miles Davis. While the performances of Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet were critically praised and vital to the film's impact, they didn't translate into awards recognition.
It's important to remember that the international film awards landscape in 1958 was somewhat different from today, with fewer dedicated awards bodies for foreign films in many regions. Furthermore, the film's impact was more immediate and lasting regarding its contribution to the emerging French New Wave style rather than individual acting accolades.
This directly contradicts the AI's primary claim that no actors won major awards.
While not an acting award, it is the most significant award the film received and contradicts the summary's dismissive tone regarding awards recognition.
This explains why there is no record of who the actors were 'up against,' which was part of the user's query.
Jeanne Moreau won the Étoile de Cristal (Grand Prix de l'Académie du Cinéma) for Best Actress in 1958 for her role in Elevator to the Gallows. This was the premier French acting award of the era, serving as a precursor to the César Awards. While Maurice Ronet did not receive major individual awards for this specific film, the film itself was awarded the prestigious Prix Louis-Delluc in 1957. Regarding the user's question about who they were 'up against,' the Étoile de Cristal and the Prix Louis-Delluc were awarded by juries that did not typically release a public shortlist of nominees, so there are no official 'runners-up' recorded in the modern sense.
