Should Princess Leia have gotten a medal in A New Hope?

The bigger question is why Chewbacca never got an award.

Also, Leia led the Empire right to their base, so they were probably still a little mad about that.

I bet she is the type of person who keeps a crystal bottle of Scotch in her chambers alone and says, "Would I like a drink? Oh how kind of me, thank you. I'll have what I'm having."
Besides, she didn't do anything. What? She wants an award every time someone else blows something up? I took a shower today, can I get a metal for that.
And Chewy didn't want a metal because he thinks metals are gay. All wookies do. God, they don't even where clothes, the long haired hippies.

Indeed. As the apparent sovereign of Alderaan -- though she is never acclaimed such and never styled HM -- Leia is the fons honorum, and cannot receive any Alderaanian honors. That's assuming, of course, she was giving them Alderaanian medals. I'm not sure what other medals she could possibly be authorized to hand out. Maybe the Rebel Alliance cooked up their own honors/decorations system, and Leia either holds sufficient Rebel rank to award them or was doing it on behalf of an Alliance commissioned officer, like Dodonna. But I think it's more likely that it was sponsored by the government(-in-diaspora) of a rebelling world.

LOL! Yeah, Chewie was offered a medal but just looked at it in disgust. 'Don't need no medal, fool'.

Maybe Leia would've to actually fly a starfighter in order to get one?
So why Chewie didn't get one? (in the movie, he actually gets it in the novelization!) The official story behind this was that "Wookies are too proud to wear awards" or something like that. But hey, it's Lucas' Star Wars, remember? It had to be changed!
The fact that Chewbacca apparently does not receive a medal in the concluding ceremony in A New Hope bothered many fans. This was corrected outside regular Star Wars continuity, after a fashion in 1997, when Chewbacca won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the MTV Movie Awards. Chewbacca, played by Peter Mayhew, appeared on stage to a standing ovation and was given a medal from Carrie Fisher. It should be noted that in the novelization of A New Hope (ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster, credited to George Lucas), Leia did give Chewbacca a medal, but she had to strain to do so.

Try to google for the clip from that ceremony.
Now, I've got an even better question: why we never saw Wedge to get a medal? Or Lando? Or the other pilot surviving the Death Star attack run?
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

If, at the end of ANH, Leia had gone up to Wedge with a medal and, just before she put it over his head, the strap broke and she says: "Sorry, Wedge! I can't stay with you!" and walks off!

Pard'n me, and since when the Kalidor Crescent is Alderaanian?
I grant you pardon, but since when was that medal the Kalidor Crescent? It doesn't look like the Kalidor Crescent, and nothing I can find on Wookieepedia suggests that it was the Kalidor Crescent. It's not even a military award -- Luke and Han are out of uniform when they get it. It's a civilian award, such as a civilian authority like a planetary sovereign would grant. For all we know, she had just made them Knights Commander of the Alderaanian Order -- I'm sure any and all Alderaanian honor societies had vacancies at that point.
