"The Oscars: 20th Time’s the Charm?"

Vanity Fair has a brief interview with Transformers Sound Mixer Kevin O'Connell. He is nominated for Transformers, making it his 20th nomination in 24 years yet he has not yet won. Hopefully this will be his year as Transformers does deserve credit for its special effects and sound.
