10 Greatest Sci-Fi Movies That Won An Oscar

What more needs to be said about the original 1977 Star Wars? The classic space Western launched one of the most prolific and successful film franchises of all time, continuing today in the form of many Disney+ films and series such as The Mandalorian.

A New Hope could be considered the greatest sci-fi movie of all time, ultimately taking home more than half a dozen Oscar awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Set Decoration, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Sound, and Best Visual Effects. The film launched the careers of its stars, including now-household names like Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher.
