In this morning’s Oscar nominations, I was delighted (but not surprised) to see Doug Crise and Stephen Mirrione nominated for Babel. Stephen Mirrione cut Go, and Doug Crise followed up his work on Babel with a little movie called The Nines.
Huge congrats to both of them.

Congrats to both! What an honor! Im a fan of the work Stephen Mirrione did on Go and Mr. Crise is on quite a roll with Babel and The Nines. I sure hope you all keep up the great work!

Speaking of great things these guys have cut, when do we get to see a trailer for The Nines? I’m one amongs thousands waiting, how ’bout a predicted date of when it gets posted? That’s a temporary bone.
