Based on the explanation (narrated by Morgan Freeman) on sound editing and mixing, how the hell did Avatar not win Best Sound Editing and Mixing?

Considering Avatar's sound people had to create these sounds from complete scratch, from nothing. They had to create new sounds for every living thing in Pandora. All of the machines, the Na'Vi sound effects, everything. So how did The Hurt Locker, which consisted simply of mixing and shooting guns and explotions win? It makes no sense.

It does show that The Hurt Locker will sweep this.

Oh good, the "dead person montage". This always feels weird when some people get more applause than others.

Bullock's lipstick is a bit of an eyesore, but she still looks nice.

Avatar totally deserved best cinematography.

How the hell can Avatar win Best Cinematography? Cinematography is having knowledge of cameras and being able to use them to get the look you want for a tangible scene... They just made stuff on computers for Avatar...dreDREb13

Wait what is this thing that's going on right now?JML897

I think they are doing best original score, which they are playing some music from each nominee.

anyone else not getting the strange dancing bit?

[QUOTE="martialbullet"][QUOTE="Jazz_Fan"]WTF? Avatar won best cinematography? Wow, just wow.Jazz_Fan

But I still say Avatar's got fine cinematography almost in line with some of the best HK martial arts flicks.

[QUOTE="scorch-62"]Why was Michael Jackson in the montage? :?martialbullet

Hm I hope The Hurt Locker or UP is going to win, but I have a feeling Avatar is going to win this award.

Was Farrah Fawcett in that dead person tribute? That seems kinda weird to leave her out.JML897
