Author Topic: FilmGuard Should Go For Oscar Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-11-2001 03:40 PM                     I bet many of you feel that this should happen. Film Guard really does work well and my customers all love it. Whats the process one must go through to get a technical award for an idea, product, or invention? Who has to nominate or what is the process to compete for a Technical Oscar?

But it seems that technical innovations have to age ten to twenty years before they get noticed. Why, maybe because they didn't pull in 100 million at the box office, I don't know. Any way, I think it requires a member of the academy to submit this for consideration.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
