Features galore
The Features department continues to plough exhaustively through the season, this week spotlighting the sound mixers, sound editors and visual effects artists. There's also a roundup of contending producers.
Additionally, you'll find a phase one wrap-up that starts with a look behind the veil at the Academy's preferential voting process. Peter Debruge follows that up with a look at the Academy's short film categories, and the philosophy that those arenas are considered an "incubator for future talent" by AMPAS.
Finally, the issue closes on an interesting piece about the "controversial, unexpected or downright puzzling" endings of films such as "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," "Atonement," "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood." Andrew Barker has the byline.
