Wally & his Oscar
The S&VFX boys. I like how they added Chris Corbould to their team so he gets one too in lieu of there being a special effects oscar.
Sound mixing -
Sound editing -
Chris & Emma Red Carpet arrivals -
Also LOLZ on life.com, they have an Oscars 2011 Sexiest Men thing and Nolan made it, must be the new suit
edited to add Who was it that was looking for Wally's press room interview? Cos I found this - http://www.bloginity.com/blog/2011/02/2 ... atography/ - bit long to c&p but they transcribed it up and its quite funny. Not sure if that's just what they asked him or all the questions he was asked.
They also have the full transcript of his acceptance speech -
“Good God, what have you done? Thank you so much, this is a phenomenal honor for me. Thank you to the Academy for this great honor and for the respect you have shown for all cinematographers. I got to take a breath here for a minute. Breathe it in for a second. Where’s that thing that shows you how much time, there it goes. None of what I did would have been possible without the incredible vision of my master Christopher Nolan. His work…you’re taking up my time. His work has inspired me for 12 years and continues to, he’s a brilliant filmmaker as we all know. Much thanks to Emma Nolan, to Warner Brothers, to my fantastic union crew, and my family, Anna, Nick, Claire, and Mia and to my Mom and Dad. Thanks so much!”

Congratulations, Inception team!!! 
8 nominations and 4 wins, I think that's pretty awesome for a Christopher Nolan Sci-Fi-Thriller Blockbuster! The King's Speech only won 4 awards as well and we all know that Inception is a "Best Picture" and features a "Best Director" for a lot of people.

A. I’m personally not a big 3D fan. It doesn’t really work for me. I don’t like the glasses, I don’t like the dark image, you know, through there. And it’s it feels a little gimmicky to me. That’s my own personal preference, I’m not a big fan of that. We like to, in terms of the immersion for the audience, we like to do things like film things in IMAX and put it on a much larger canvas and higher resolution rather than three dimensional. So in turns of what’s happening with INCEPTION, you know, Chris and I are like minded in that way. I don’t know whether they’re going release a DVD version in 3D or not, but that’s definitely, it’s just not something I’m that interested in as a filmmaker.
