Richard Dreyfuss plays the everyman hero, and Melinda Dillon became the first performer nominated for a Spielberg film for her supporting performance.John Williams’s nominated score ranges from the atonal to the symphonic, with his five-note theme becoming a key part of the storyline. The film received eight Oscar nominations and won for Vilmos Zsigmond’s cinematography, with Frank E. Warner receiving a Special Achievement Award for his sound effects editing.
