I don't know, haven't seen the film but it seemed awkward when it won the sound mixing award over the likes of The Dark Knight, Wall-E, Benjamin (the scene they used was superb) and even Wanted... did it really deserve that? I mean you can argue about it being or not the best picture of the year but being so technically "the best"? is that defendable?
