The Rise of Skywalker Grabs 3 Oscar Nominations

Posted by Bill on

Tell me how this sounds; the Oscar-Nominated Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Has a nice ring to it, right? Well thanks to the Academy, that statement now rings true.



Monday morning the Academy of Motion Pictures announced all their nominees for the Oscars, the most prestigious award in Hollywood. Among the nominees was the final chapter in the Skywalker saga. While the film wont be bringing home the Best Picture award, it may very well nab the award in the categories its nominated for.



Those categories include Best Original Score, Sound Editing, and Visual Effects. All three are well deserved and a testament to how hard the team behind the film worked day and night to make it perfect.



Big congratulations to Neal Scanlon, Roger Guyett, Patrick Tubach, Dominic Tuohy, Matthew Wood, David Acord, and our maestro, John Williams for their nominations.



Wouldnt it be a nice bow on Williams invaluable contribution to Star Wars by winning the Oscar? I would love to see it!



You can take a look at all the nominees here, and see if anyone from the Lucasfilm team takes home the Oscar on February 9th.



Godspeed Rebels!
