Getting Going On The Oscar Weekend Early!


Welcome to the annual Oscar Fright Weekend.  The actual 84th Academy Awards Ceremony will take place this Sunday on ABC at 7PM EST.  Until then it's frights of various sorts for everyone in the house.  Although other genres like Thrillers and Mysteries are on the list for viewing, I'm especially interested in highlighting the actual horror movies that have at least been nominated or even scored a win, since the Oscars are so well known for their snub when it comes to the horror genre.  So first up, Francis Ford Coppola'sBram Stoker's Dracula (1992), which actually managed to win 3 of the 4 Oscars it was nominated for!  Not bad for a vampire film!!




Won For Best Costume Design:  Eiko Ishioka, who sadly passed away last month at the age of 73.

Won For Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing:  Tom C. McCarthy & David E. Stone
Won For Best Makeup:  Greg CannonMichéle Burke & Matthew W. Mungle



Nominated For Best Art Direction--Best Set Design--it should have won!
