The Oscar nominations were announced this morning – heres the sound nominations, congratulations to everyone involved!

Whats your picks? I suspect Wall E has a good chance at cleaning up both categories which would be double Oscars for Ben Burtt but I havent seen/heard Benjamin Button or Iron Man. Music I would be even less sure of…














I’d agree with that… Ironman has some pretty cool stuff in it though (worth it for the motorcycle engine sfx while being swung by the J.Bridges character in his Zoot Suit.
But for sheer creative effort I’d have to back that small wee robot cat and the genius that brought him to life.
My 2c (which is actually worth less than zero in these current economic times.)
“The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is.”
I bet on Burtt and Wood in Sound Editing for WALL-E and Richard King and crew in Sound Mixing for “The Dark Knight”.
Anyway, hurrah for Skywalker Sound! [http://www.starwars.com/movies/news20090122.html]
