Oscars 2009 - visual & sound effects

I think Hugh Jackman just got heckled by his own orchestra. Twisted.

So we have a special effects type video clip. The Action 2008 bit maybe? This compilation looks unnervingly like the unmanned ITV Movie Show from about 1995.

Wicky wicky wah wah! Will Smith is presenting this bit. He's speaking up for Action. Weird live scoring in the theatre btw. Sounds like a mistake but am sure is deliberate.

Visual Effects noms: Benjamin Button; Dark KNight; Iron Man

WINNER: Benjain Button. It's a bloomin footie yeam worth of winners! Only one got to speak though.

Sound Editing: Dark Knight; Iron Man; Slumdog Millionnaire; WALL-E; Wanted.

WINNER: Dark Knight!

Our resident sound expert nods approvingly.

And our sound editor walked off to some Bowie if my ears did not diceive.

Now Sound Mixing noms: Benjamin Button; Dark Knight; Slumdog Millionnaire; WALL-E; Wanted.

WINNER: Slumdog Millionnaire!

Seems fair given how the music and street noise was woven together. Another team affair (Danny Boyle is crying from his seat). Seems for teams one man can speak. Slumdog's Rahul is overcome and can barely tie his words together with excitement. He's gotten it together now he says this is history being handed over to him. He's a proper charmer!

And, and yes Will Smith is still our only host, we are on to Film Editing: Frost/Nixon vs Dark Knight vs Milk vs Slumdog Millionnaire vs Benjamin Button.

WINNER: Slumdog Millionnaire!

Yup, another Slumdog award, A very very bald gentleman of supreme Englishness. Chris Dickins. Yes, He's so English he's even called Dickins. Is a nice speech, seems like he genuinely liked making the film which is a plus. Danny Boyle no longer crying, now grinning and doing thumbs up! Another super Brit reserve speech of wobbly lacking an ending. Nice. Makes you proud in a weird weird way...
