Anyone who has ever worked on a film in a technical capacity is just as much a part of making a film as the people on-screen, even if their only thanks is given in the credits (that 99% of moviegoers walk out on, instead of watching them).Remember that the Best Picture/Best Actor type awards are voted on by their acting and directing peers (thus the clubbish and subjective nature of voting), while the technical awards are voted on by their technical peers, people who actually have a clue about the amount and quality of work put up by the nominees.IMO, tech awards are based on merit alone, while the others are far more likely to be influenced by emotional considerations.</blockquote>
