Re: Damien Bona 1955-2012

Let me just start this with a sad "wow." I had been heavily invested with the Oscars and the surrounding hoopla during the '80s and '90s, and made it halfway through the 'aughts before I became terribly disenfranchised with it all. From 2006 on, I made (more and more in-)frequent trips to ...

From Animated Film: "It has Pixar’s award-winning team (since the category was created, Cars is the only Pixar pic not to win this category)."

One more little quibble. Pixar's Monsters, Inc. also lost the Oscar.

I wrote this in my post but I'll cite it again here. Doesn't one have to be a member of the ASC to be nominated? No, its not necessary to be a guild member. Some recent non-ASC members who have been nominated: Janusz Kaminski, Seamus McGarvey, Bruno Delbonnel, Pawel Edelman, Rodrigo Prieto, John Ma...
