Yeah.... I didn't know where to post it. 😮

Seeing as the best work,(and most recent) was on Ep3...it's kinda PT, since I'm sure Bush just watched Ep3 and said "Well tarnation, that was wonderfull... can we give him some award for that'? (Bush is something of a simpleton you see.) 🙂

lol, if only Lucas mentioned Iraq😂

big thumbs up to ILM!😎

Gerretings and Salutations to ILM!

'Bout time IMO

Yeah, Lucas and Episode III had a good year.

Besides being number 1 in the B.O. totals, Lucas was the 33rd recipient of the AFI life achievement award (that was a cool show, by the way), the People's Choice awards for Best Drama (?) and Best Picture, and now a technology award.

I kinda take back all my b*tching about the Oscar's now that I think about it.

😄

hwow! salutes and yells, I love you! then walks out with a straight face

but seriously, good job ILM!

Now this is an award well deserved...
