Out of curiosity have accolades like the Academy Awards (R) both actual and nominations ever been used on SE promotional materials (and I include the SEs for THX-1138 etc here)?
If the award winning elements aren't in the presentation surely evoking them would breach some trades description law?
don't recall ever seeing the oscars on any of the vhs releases prior to 1997.
probably cuz it was not necessary. pretty obvious that all three of the OOT movies won oscars for best viz, sound, etc.
whats not as funny is that many casual movie goers wrongly assume the PT won oscars, when ROTS wasnt even nominated for visual effects (god, I lmao when that happened).
your question goes with my earlier suggestion that if lucas insists the films were 'rough cuts' the oscars and nominations should be vacated. and all box office grosses start from 1997 onward.
