The storytellers behind the films and TV shows of the Star Wars universe have also written great scripts outside of Lucas’ serialized space opera.

The Academy Award for Best Picture is often quite contentious. Whereas other categories may be more "obvious" or agreeable, Best Picture tends to generate enormous amounts of controversy and debate. There's obviously no ing for taste, so what is great for one person may be boring or insipid for another. Furthermore, some of the more obscure winners, thematically, aren't necessarily accessible to all audiences, prompting many viewers and readers to say, "I've never even heard of that."
