Star Wars: The Last Jedi has received the Critics? Choice Seal of Distinction.
Blockbusters typically have trouble gaining traction on the awards circuit.
However, the Star Wars franchise does have a long history of being award-winners as well as moneymakers.
The first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, was nominated for 10 Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and won six.
The Critics? Choice Awards are presented yearly by the BTJA (Broadcast Television Journalists Association) and BFCA (Broadcast Film Critics Association).
They honor artistic achievement in the fields of film and television.
The BFCA is the largest professional critics? association in North America, made up of over 300 television, radio and Internet critics.
Their sister organization, The BTJA, is made up of television, radio and Internet journalists who focus their reporting on television series.
