Probably the only clip that wasn't on some old analog tape the Oscar people had access to. It would be like dropping VHS footage into all the HD stuff, if they were aware of the SE changes at all.

I know, but they could have chosen some other scene than the CGI X-Wing and TIE fighter battle, maybe a dialogue clip or something. It was like "here's some great scenes from old classics" and bam, CGI in 70's film.

That is the root of the problem. They probably don't even know it's an SE shot. Even the making of ESB book had a couple SE stills creep in by mistake.

We're coming up on the 15th anniversary of the SE's, and it's likely they are supplanting people's memories at this point.
