OSCAR POSTSCRIPT: I always find it amazing that the scientific and technical awards are held weeks before the main show. I can understand why the Academy does this; the show is already too long as it is; but these guys are the people who make the main show possible. Everything done on the main show is the direct result of the scientific and technical knowledge of these people; without them a lot of Hollywood's top stars would have to learn how to act for a living or go back to wherever it is they came from in the first place.
