I haven’t brought one of these films as of yet! I wasn’t trilled with last years or (2009) list thou some of 2010 seem tempting and are on bluray/DVD at present.
Slat (might think about this one)
The Social Network (but I’m not really interested in the subject)
Inception (might think about this one)
Toy Story 3 (might think about this one)
I can only think of two films that was recoded in Dolby digital 8channel on this list Toy Story 3 and Tron Legacy hmm, both are Disney? Now there under the sound effects edition category (I see a slim chance here only one of them can take best sound effect editing).
The last time there was new Dolby cinema invention was 1999 and Dolby-EX didn’t get STAR WARS episode1 anywhere or Fight Club.
Dolby was the word in the early 70’s a few years later mid 70’s STAR WARS picked up best sound and sound effects editing.
Richard King won for Batman The Dark Knight a few years ago he might stand a second chance for Inception. I read a lot rave reviews on its film mix in the cinema.
I can’t be asked to watch it this year, I’d just read the results the following day.
Oscars go live on February 27th, 2011
