"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" wins two Academy Awards (1955)


Disney's science-fiction masterpiece 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea won two Academy Awards at the 27th ceremony March 30, 1955.  It won Best Art Direction, Color for John Meehan (Art Direction) and Emile Kuri (Set Decoration).  It also won Best Special Effects.

It was nominated for Best Film Editing for Elmo Williams.

I think it is great that a horror favorite of mine Them! was also nominated for Best Special Effects.
