I find these two awards to be incredibly important when it comes to predicting the lower half of the Oscar categories, as the Cinema Audio Society (Cas) and the American Society of Cinematographers (Asc) have announced their awards tonight and one isn't much of a surprise and the other is more of a welcome surprise.
First for the Asc, which handed Christian Berger the award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography for his work on the beautifully shot black-and-white feature from Michael Haneke The White Ribbon. I declared the film number four on my top ten and absolutely loved every frame. However, this is probably looked as a bit of an upset as I imagine most any technical award will look when Avatar is involved.
In my last round of predictions I handed every technical award to Avatar as a solid base level to start moving into this final week before the Oscars.

This week saw two groups weighing in with some nominations that may help some of you get a better grip on some of the below-the-line tech awards as you begin filling out your Oscar predictions. Both the Visual Effects Society (Ves) and Cinema Audio Society (Cas) and both offer very little in terms of surprises. First let's take a look at those from Cas and I'll begin by offering a pair of audio features courtesy of the SoundWorks Collection.
I originally previewed the sound feature below for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen back on December 31 and it is quite fascinating if you haven't watched it yet, and the latest one for Star Trek is just as interesting.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Star Trek
I think the obvious name that many will also turn to is Avatar, but I would never count out The Hurt Locker in this category either...

2009 was an amazing year for British film. The BAFTA longlist has James Cameron’s Avatar and Jason Reitman’s Up In The Air go up against Tarantino’s glorious Basterds and our pick of the year, Duncan Jones’ sublime Moon, we also have A Single Man and An Education showcasing a wealth of talent.
In The Loop is picking up screenwriting awards and Carey Mulligan’s disappointment at the Golden Globes earlier this week may be short lived. Will Avatar leaves will a handful of golden faces to go with its solar system of globes? That so many great films are being placed under a BAFTA shaped spotlight is a testament to the variety and capability of the actors, directors and crews working today.
The BAFTA shortlist is a clear indication that there is much to celebrate in the industry and while the winners may divide critics and audiences when...
