the horror montage

I see what you're trying to do with the Horror Films montage, I guess - but if you're going to have Kristen Stewart inroduce the thing by saying horror movies haven't gotten any props at the Oscars since The Exorcist won two in 1974, it might be a good idea not to fill up your montage with horror movies that have won Oscars since then. (They began the thing with Jaws, for god's sake, and by my extremely amateur observation it also included The Silence of the Lambs and Misery - along, I've got to say, with a lot of movies that I wouldn't have called "horror" in the first place, but that's another matter.)

Now I'm looking at Sound Editing and Sound Mixing, and the first is a difficult field, and the second, Hurt Locker beat Avatar, huzzah!

And Jaws won the Oscar for best editing in 1975 and thoroughly deserved it -- there's not one wasted frame.
