The year Star Wars made it to the Oscars, it was the 50th anniversary of the awards. Star Wars showed up with 10 Oscar nods. Everyone was there, even C-3PO and R2D2. What’s more, they walked with six awards, mostly for technical categories. They earned one special award for Sound Effects Editing. Star Wars set the bar for science fiction higher than it had ever been before. It wasn’t only entertaining, it was a legit award winner.
