Wouldn't it be much more interesting than simply showing the same ol' clips from the special effects nominees to spend a few minutes with each of the teams in a "making-of..." segment, showing off the technical component to films the academy talked about? There are only three nominees in those categories, so some quality time could be spent...ah, wishful thinking I know. Did anybody catch the ABC pre-show, where Keanu Reeves said that not only is a Matrix sequel coming, but part 3 will be made at the same time? Some great news gleaned from an otherwise unwatchable Tyra Banks set of "interviews".

In the same vein as Courtney's post, I'd like to point out Steve Albini had some nice things to say about this topic in 1995. It's a classic article from the Baffler.
