| | Epinions.com - Best Sound--Which Will Win the Oscar? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | By now you've probably heard a lot of opinions on the major awards, so here as a working sound technician in the film business and an Oscar follower for close to three decades, I will attempt to offer you guidance in picking the winner in the Best Sound category. |
 | | Now, while other films have won the Best Sound Award while not being a Best Film nominee (last year's The Matrix), the odds seem to be in favor of the film that is also up for Best Picture. |
 | | After all, my system apparently isn't foolproof: In both the 62nd and 61st Academy Awards, history disproved my methodology by awarding Best Sound not to the sole Best Picture nominees in those categories (Born on the Fourth of July, and Mississippi Burning respectively), but to Glory and Bird. |
