"Tech Support": GUILD PREVIEW, PART I
Given that most of the tech races aren’t extensively covered by the precursor season, the best tea leaves we have for judgment are the guilds. It’s all for the best, really, as the guild memberships contain many of the Academy members who eventually nominate for Oscar.
The Visual Effects Society, Motion Picture Sound Editors Association and Makeup and Hairstylists Guild certainly can provide insight in their fields. However, these organizations each have many categories that do not precisely overlap with the corresponding Oscar races.
So in the interest of time and focus, I’ll concentrate on the five guilds which essentially award on the same criteria the Academy does. We’ll start with the costumers, editors and sound mixers today.
