WELLINGTON: Auckland-based art director and Oscar winner Kim
Sinclair says seeing portraits of previous Oscar winners
after collecting his award for Avatar was the most amazing
part of yesterday's Academy Awards ceremony.
The Iraq War drama "The Hurt Locker" has won best picture and
five other prizes at the Academy Awards, its haul including
best director for Kathryn Bigelow.
Villainous roles snatched the supporting-acting prizes Sunday
at the Academy Awards: Precious co-star Mo'Nique as
a contemptible mother and Inglourious Basterds
co-star Christoph Waltz as a sociable Nazi fiend.
