2. Best in Surprising Results Award: That tie between Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall for Achievement in Sound Editing

“No BS, it’s a tie,” was what presenter Mark Wahlberg answered to the collective “WTF?!” everybody was thinking when he announced the winners for the Sound Editing category.  To prove that it is indeed, no BS, the Academy released this snapshot of the results.  (And to answer the question already forming in your heads, this was not the first time a tie happened at the Oscars.) [Image via theacademy on Instagram.]

 

 

3. Craziest Hairstyle Award: ‘The Wizard Hair’ by Claudio Miranda, Per Hallberg, and Paul N.J. Ottoson

When Claudio Miranda accepted his Oscar for cinematography for Life of Pi, we were like – whoa, that’s a lot of hair.  We didn’t think it would actually be a trend for a few more winners!  Two more winners, Per Hallberg (for Skyfall) and Paul N.J. Ottoson (for Zero Dark Thirty), were sporting the same Gandalf-like locks when they accepted their awards for their achievements in sound editing. 

 

4. Best After-Win Reaction Award: Jennifer Lawrence flipping the bird

We already love her for being so down-to-earth and real despite being one of Hollywood’s current faves in the industry, so her reaction at the Oscar press room, whether it was a joke or a clear message at some photographer or reporter, was just plain awesome. 

5. Best in Post-Oscar Snack Award: Ang Lee

The best sci-fi movies on Max right now
Dr. Grant tries to lure the T-Rex away in Jurassic Park.

At the beginning of November, Max only added 23 new movies to its cinematic lineup. That's a lot fewer than its streaming rivals. It also means that the sci-fi movies on Max aren't the only genre that's being underserved by Warner Bros. Discovery. Since last month, War for the Planet of the Apes, Aliens, Leviathan, Predators, and High Life have all departed Max. Unfortunately, adding the first three Jurassic Park movies doesn't really do enough to offset that loss.

But since we can only work with what we have, the original Jurassic Park is one of our films in the spotlight for November. The other new addition, Watchmen Chapter 1, isn't arriving until November 18. That is an animated superhero movie, but it also has many sci-fi elements, and it's one of the best comic book stories ever created.
