I wanted him to win last year, when it was 19 and no wins, but he was nominated for APOCALYPTO so that made me ambivalent.
But I'm pulling for him this year.
But then, the coolness of his feat is kinda deflated once he wins. Like, once Susan Lucci won, it was...okay, now she isn't so special.
The opposite of creation isn't war, it's stagnation.

With this publicity, the Academy is sure to vote for him. I'll be rooting for him, and I'm sure he'll take it this year.
However, I don't believe his work was superior to all of the others this year.

and I just noticed I forgot to post an actual response...
He has done so much wonderful work. Yes, Transformers is not his best (nor the best of the bunch) but, 20 nominations, come on. Imagine (if the oscars are televised) if he wins: As he stands up the voice over goes "This is Kevin O'Connell's 20th nomination in this category, and first win"

"With this publicity, the Academy is sure to vote for him. I'll be rooting for him, and I'm sure he'll take it this year."
He had the same publicity last year with his 19th nomination (I remember reading quite a few articles on him), but he still lost.

Yes, he did, but as mentioned previously...it was for APOCOLYPTO. There wasn't any way. No amount of sympathy could have gotten him that statue for the work on that film (I haven't seen the film, but I'm told it shouldn't have even been nominated). All the buzz was going for ANY other film.
This year, it's a possibility. TRANSFORMERS is the type of film that could get it for him.
"Imagine (if the oscars are televised) if he wins: As he stands up the voice over goes "This is Kevin O'Connell's 20th nomination in this category, and first win" "
Or you see Kathy Griffin announce at the press conference, "And the Oscar goes to Kevin O'Connell" and they cut immediately to commercial break.

Can you imagine them giving a Lifetime Achievement Award to - a sound mixer? He probably deserves it with that much quality work behind him.
A click for life.

Posted: 1/24/08 at 1:48amWhat if they finally give him one, and there's no ceremony?

Whether his work is superior this year or not is of little consequence. The more media attention he gets, the more likely he is to win. It worked for Scorcesi last year.

I like the idea of a Lifetime Achievement Oscar for him soon, regardless of a win this year.
He certainly deserves it.
