Thank god the list yesterday was off a bit. The differences are actually... far far better. Why did I think the list yesterday was... legetimate? Because it came off of a Academy server and was a complete accounting of press materials regarding all the possible nominees. I've included the original for your perusal. When the Nominees with Sound Effects Editing and Visual Effects matched up... It looked like it was dead on, combining that with from where it came... Well, I guess I fucked up. Que sera... I'm off to sleep. I've been awake working on this stuff since I got back from my trip... Hmmm... must never take vacation... Damages senses......Here's the info and the server from whence it came... 24.130.78.198 and the instructions on how to make it work... "You'll need FileMaker Pro to see it for yourself. Go into FileMaker Pro 3.0 or 4.0 or 4.1 (not 5.0), and change the network preferences to TCP/IP. Then, quit out of FileMaker Pro and re-launch FileMaker Pro. Then, pull down from "File" to "Open..." Click on "HOSTS"... specify that IP address... choose oscar_nominations."
