Wow! I was posting tongue in cheek and little did I know it was so close to home.
Not just any Oscars either, 75th was historic and Titanic is legendary. What did you think of Celine?
Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
17 of 23 speakers in my studio and home theater systems are internally powered. My studio system is all Genelec and sounds very accurate. I know the best new concert and studio speakers are internally powered there are great technical reasons to design a speaker and an amp synergistically, this concept is much more important to sound quality than the vibration systems we often buy. How can an audiophile justify a vibration system of any sort with this in mind.

@kota1 I got a few things wrong in my old age it was the 70th Oscars, and Paul McCartney and Sting sang at the 2002 Oscars for Pearl Harbor. That was also a great night because it was at the brand new Dolby Theater, we had to go through a lot of security because of 911 happening earlier. Celine Dion was perfect as usual the sound at the show was really good but it had to be quiet because of the broadcast of course. Halle Berry presented the sound award and Black Hawk Down won with caned helicopters and looped dialog but whatever, seems like I would get over it. Halle Berry is very nice I was lucky enough to work with her on a TV series called Extant. Here is an funny story, the Director of Photography on CSI Miami would always yell out to one of his guys get me a "Halle Berry", when we finally figured out what that was it was a cup of coffee that had as much cream to have the same complexion as Halle Berry. Well there I was years later at craft service getting a cup of coffee with Halle Berry talking about Disneyland I think, I was pouring some cream in my coffee and looked up at her down at my coffee and back up at her beautiful face and just laughed to myself thinking how did this actually happen.

She is a wonderful woman and I would never want to say anything bad or embarrassing about her. It was just an ironic moment and something I think of often when I put cream in coffee. Just yesterday I said ok to remix a movie in my studio here in Idaho. I said no at first but thought ok I may as well jump in. I could write a book about production sound on set but I'm no expert in post mixing, I have about 5 months to learn all I can. An old friend hired me and I really don't want to let him down. I guess all I'm saying is I better get my system up and running first class, and I've got a lot of learning to do. The mix will be in ATMOS 5.1
