Sound re-recording mixer Kevin O'Connell is currently at 20 unsuccessful nominations, so him, I guess.

He is currently tied for the title of most nominations without a win in that category.

I'm going to see 45 Years tomorrow. Really excited to do so.

Hmm, that is a toughie. I hold them as pretty much equal in terms of quality. Traffic is definitely the most stylistic of the two, so if you're biggest on Soderbergh as a stylist, you might wanna watch that one first, but sex, lies, and videotape is definitely a more perfect movie, with a brilliant performance by

Dude has 13 Oscar nominations and not a single win. Not one.

Did you know that they also have the same cinematographer as The Shawshank Redemption, Prisoners, The Big Lebowski, Sid and Nancy, Fargo, and the future Blade Runner 2?

Miami Vice: A movie that dares you to laugh at how seriously it takes even its silliest elements, and I can call myself one of the (probably still) few who didn't. It rides the line between being dumb and being awesome and ends up on the right side, with some gorgeously videoish digital cinematography (dig those

Yeah, I definitely want more Vance and even more Sarah Paulson.

But seriously, I can't say I watched the first episode and thought "Man, I really want more of that winky Kardashian stuff!".

I hope this scene features a cameo by Sir Stewart Wallace. He plays himself!

Also, regardless of how this makes me feel (not great, for many reasons), it's nice to see a Best Picture race where the winner wasn't dictated by the gods a month in advance.

Well, I'll be damned.

C'mon, I thought this would have stopped when she stole Clouds of Sils Maria right out from under Juliette Binoche's feet.
