I understand that a lot ppl dont think this was a worthy oscar nomination for Best Picture (in my opinion i thought it was) , But no nomination of any kind (Sound, Sound Effect Editing, Film Editing, Cinematography, Art Direction, Costume Design) I dont it would've won with (Star Wars, Close Encounters)winning most or all them, But it Should've been Nomination for Atleast 7 Category.it just hard to wonder why it was nominated for any oscar.

Star Wars and Close Encounters winning 'most of them'?
You do realize Close Encounters of the Third Kind won only one Oscar, right?

The score was very good.
shareA) it was another WW2 film. Tons of those around.
B) for all of the planes, tanks, extras dressed up in uniform, it was a pretty plain film
There are no unique shots, there's nothing special about the SFX nor the sound FX, it's retreaded territory, and overall is a pretty plain movie with a few dramatic points here and there.
I don't follow the Oscars. I think they're a load of crap, and the people who are part of them are merely in the business of stroking their phallic egos, but sometimes they do get things right about who and what films are worth noticing.
This one was worth seeing, but it didn't do anything extraordinary for the war genre, nor film in general.
