'The Descendants' Wins the USC Scripters Award and Ace Editing with 'The Artist' and 'Rango'

19 February 2012 8:27 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

I guess I could look at the win last night from the American Cinema Editors (Ace) for The Descendants for Best Editing in a dramatic feature as a sign we may still have an upset at the Oscars, but I think that would be overstepping my bounds. I will, however, say I think it shows The Descendants is a stronger #2 candidate for Best Picture than Hugo is as The Artist remains the clear front-runner in the Best Picture category as it also won last night for Best Editing in a comedy or musical. In the lackluster animation category Rango took the win over Puss in Boots and The Adventures of Tintin where, I guess, we could have seen Tintin win, but I'm having a hard time mustering up any kind of passion one way or another to really care. The Ace winners are listed below along with the other nominees. »

2012 Oscar Predictions: Sound Mixing Contenders as the Cinema Audio Society Announces their Nominees

19 January 2012 7:29 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Two categories I have yet to predict in my Oscar predictions are Best Sound Editing and Sound Mixing, primarily because I've been waiting for the Cinema Audio Society (Cas) and Motion Picture Sound Editors (Mpse) to weigh in with their nominees. Today, the Cas delivered and I'm expecting the results from the Mpse today or tomorrow as we are now only a few days away from the Oscar nominations. As for the Cas noms, over the last five years there has been a pretty good track record of the nominees matching Oscar's nominees. From 2006-2009 the nominees matched four out of the five Oscar nominees. Last year, however, was a bit different as only two of the five nominees matched. This year, I'm aiming for four of the five nominees to match once again as my only difference is I have Transformers: Dark of the Moon in my top five over Moneyball. »
