One of the most beloved and iconic science-fiction movies of all time, The Day the Earth Stood Still, released in 1951 barely got a nod from the Golden Globe awards ceremony held February 21, 1952. Many great movies were released that year but few of them have had the staying power of Robert Wise's masterpiece.
It won a Golden Globe for Promoting International Understanding. Huh? That's not a category any more. It received a nomination for Best Music, Original Score for Bernard Herrmann, but lost to September Affair. Herrmann's music is eerie and perfect for an alien encounter.
The Day the Earth Stood Still was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry in 1995.
