The only film and sequel to win the Best Picture Oscar are Godfather (1972) and Godfather Part II (1974).
The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi both won special Visual Effects Oscars, since the category was still not included as a regular category in the early 1980s. Revenge of the Sith is the only Star Wars film not honored with an Oscar or nomination for visual effects. Its lone nomination was for makeup. None of the prequels won Oscars. Since The Force Awakens didnât win anything last year, no Star Wars film has won an Oscar since 1984, when Jedi won its special Visual Effects Oscar. The 89th Academy Awards will air live on ABC on February 26.
