The Susan Lucci of Academy Awards
Just one final Oscars story, and I don't even have the oomph to write it. But it's a nice one.
Kevin O'Connell isn't a household name but he's a sound mixer who was at the Kodak Theatre Sunday night with his 20th Academy Award nomination, this one for Transformers. T-w-e-n-t-y.
How many Oscars does Mr. O'Connell have on his mantle? Zero. Z-e-r-o.
Is he bitter? Not at all, for a very nice reason that Ray Richmond of the Hollywood Reporter posted today on his blog. Check it out then tell me you won't be pulling for this guy next year.
