It doesn't have to be good (Off-Topic)

It only needs to be good enough to get nominated.

By any standard, Guardians of the Galaxy had better mixing an editing, yet not a single nomination for sound…

I'll start by saying I don't actually give two-shits about the Oscars, and have never watched them. But I do like film, so you have me curious and I'm looking it up :)

I believe the Music scores have to be original. Throwing together a great soundtrack doesn't count for that category. Besides, Guardians basically already got that award.

And was the Sound FX/Editing in Guardians all that great? Perhaps it's a sign of greatness that it didn't stand out to me :)

Note: I love Guardians and haven't seen Intersteller. I'm here for the free stacks.
