The movie was nominated for one Oscar; Special Effects

 

Quote

The final shot of the film, with the characters driving away from Bodega Bay as they're watched by a restive flock of birds, was one of the film's typically tricky scenes, combining live birds, animated birds, and puppet birds, along with the moving car heading toward a detailed matte painting as a backdrop. Hitchcock recalled that the shot was a composite that blended 32 separate exposures, calling it "the most difficult single shot I've ever done."

I suspect the average cinema goer is unaware of the extent to which special effects are used for what might seem to most of us like mundane shots.
