"Tech Support": THE VETS
Four months ago, I began this column by taking a look at those craftspeople who have not been nominated to date and were hoping for their first citations from AMPAS this year; I was speculating on how their 2006 efforts would affect this race.
Today, I want to look at the opposite end of the spectrum – the veterans. The men and women who have toiled in their movie-making professions for years (usually at least a couple of decades for most of the people I’m going to mention) and who have been rewarded for their past efforts by the Academy. Veterans bring a unique presence to the race, often representing the old guard in their fields and always representing those who have gone through this process before.
