Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is thrilling moviegoers at the moment, but it's also thrown its hat into the Oscars ring, much to the excitement of Kevin Smith.
The Director and general geek enthusiast received his Oscars screener of the film and shared a celebratory message on Instagram.
"I'd like to thank @theacademy... This is my #rogueoneastarwarsstory Oscar screener. Man, I'm gonna watch the SITH out of that #Vader scene! My plan is to watch #rogueone again and then go right into a @starwars viewing afterwards! Christmas just got a little more Merry! #KevinSmith #academy #screeners #starwars"
Star Wars movies typically get nominated for the visual effects, cinematography, and musical score categories when it comes to Hollywood's big awards show, and Rogue One will most certainly continue that trend.
The Oscars take place on February 26th, 2017 on ABC.
