Best Answer

George Lucas has never won an Academy Award (Oscar). He has been nominated twice, and he received a special award, but special awards are not competitive, so it can not be said that he won it.

  • 1992 - Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award - The crew of the orbiting space shuttle Atlantis (STS-45) participated in the presentation of the Thalberg Award to George Lucas. An Oscar statuette was aboard the shuttle to commemorate the event.
  • Nominated Oscar Best Director for: Star Wars (1977)
  • Nominated Oscar Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen for: Star Wars (1977)
  • Nominated Oscar Best Director for: American Graffiti(1973)
  • Nominated Oscar Best Writing, Story and Screenplay Based on Factual Material or Material Not Previously Published or Produced for: American Graffiti (1973) Shared with: Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck

There is no Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Filmmaker. There is and Academy Award for Best Director, and the producer receives the Academy Award for Best Picture.
