E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial was nominated for nine Oscars and won four at the 55th Academy Awards ceremony held April 11, 1983.
It won Best Original Score for John Williams; Best Sound for Robert Knudson,Robert Glass, Don Digirolamo, and Gene Cantamessa; Best Sound Effects Editing for Charles Campbell and Ben Burtt; and Best Visual Effects for Carlo Ramaldi, Dennis Muren, and Kenneth F. Smith.
It had been nominated for Best Picture, Best Directing for Steven Spielberg, Best Writing (Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen), Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing.
Das Boot, one of the best films ever, was nominated for six Oscars but did not win any of them. It wasn't even nominated for Best Foreign Film, although none of the other foreign were nominated for any other awards. I suppose the German film makers didn't do the wine-and-dine policy 20th Century Fox Studios did for Doctor Doolittle.
Ghandi was the big winner of the night with eight awards out of eleven nominations. Meryl Streep won Best Actress for Sophie's Choice. Louis Gossett Jr. won Best Supporting Actor for An Officer and a Gentleman. Jessica Lange won Best Supporting Actress for Tootsie. Teri Garr was also nominated for the award for Tootsie.
Victor/Victoria won Best Music (Original Song Score and its Adaption Score) for Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse.
