And The Oscar Goes To...

It is all too easy to mark Kevin O'Connell down as a loser. Nominated 20 times for an Oscar, he is yet to win one. But, in fact, this is an amazing story. 28 years ago he started working as a sound mixer. It took him a few years to get into the swing of it, but this year is his 20th nomination in a row. So he hasn't won one, but such a record has to show he is one of the most consistent people in any field, let alone the movies. I am rooting for him this year.
