I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many Oscars did Close Encounters get nominated for, besides Best Director?
All the background I'm provided with is that "One of the rare films both written and directed by Spielberg, Close Encounters was a critical and box office hit, giving Spielberg his first Best Director nomination from the Academy as well as earning six other Academy Awards nominations.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
