Tech Oscars Awarded
prostoalex writes "Skip the tuxedos, cleavages and red carpet. Scientific and technical Oscars are awarded for technical excellence and inventive approaches in the field of movie-making. Satellight-X HMI Softlight, DNF-001 multiband digital audio noise suppressor and Tyler Gyroplatform were among nominees, according to MSNBC."
No clevage? Then what's the point?
The end of the world is near. Slashdot has linked to MSNBC.

Their coverage. Pretty much the same, only, you know, in a magazine.
As a Slasdot geek, I do NOT want to skip the cleavages.

"That's not to say that these so-called "gearheads" don't like to party. Champagne and chardonnay flowed, and they ate well, too -- dining on pumpkin soup, asparagus ravioli and a duet of seared beef medallion and fennel-crusted sea bass."
...and then after the appetizers, the ramen was served!

That's a rather boring name. Shouldn't the awards be called the 'Geekies' or 'Nerdies' or something?
I want to drag this out as long as possible. Bring me my protractor.
Oh, right, having Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.
There's clevage, but with the science/tech crowd, the guys have clevage too...and you really do want to skip that.
Please help metamoderate.
I read the topic as "Teh Oscars Awarded" and I thought "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

I'm guessing that one frontier would be user interface. Right now, most of this wonderful gear needs serious skills to use it. The trouble is that the people with the skills to operate the equipment aren't the people with the vision and the story telling ability. Equipment with an interface that even a director could use would be a big hit.
Of course, this is all leading to the ability to produce movies on our desktops. Then instead of an unpublished novel, everyone would have an unpublished movie in the drawer of their bedside table.
Geeks have the same rights to a spathic presenter as anyone.
... and probably more need.
Does anyone else find it appauling that they can dedicate 4 hours to all the pretty stars, and that they can't include tech oscars in with the other oscars. It's a sad day for society when people only care about looking at pretty faces, and couldn't care less about the technology that makes the movie possible in the first place. Without the technology, we might as well just go to live plays.

Also in abundance were hearty guffaws for the corny and sometimes suggestive jokes of the one-and-only Mac King, a Las Vegas lounge act with a thing for card tricks.

It's an article about how they couldn't find a blonde capable of understanding the awards she was giving out.
There's almost nothing on what these advances mean to the industry.

Why doesn't slashdot feature such contests with reader votes/ranks? (We can even have a "funny" and "best troll" category :-)

I believe Jennifer Garner had little or no problems with those difficult words/terms last year. Plus, she is hotter than Scarlett Johansson. :)~
