Oscars: 'Inception' visual effects maestros feel like they're in a dream
The top is still spinning for “Inception” and the folks who brought it to life.
Peter Bebb, Paul Franklin, Chris Corbould and Andrew Lockley received the Oscar for visual effects for their work in creating Christopher Nolan’s surreal vision. So how does holding the golden man compare with folding Paris in half in the movie?
“They’re both dreamlike situations,” Bebb said. “I’m hoping I don’t actually ever wake up from this one.”
As computer effects continue to advance, Bebb said that something would be lost if filmmakers rely too heavily on the technology.
“If you’re basing something in reality," he said. "If you try to do it entirely synthetically, you get a world where everyone can tell it’s been created.”

I found it appalling that Social Network beat Inception for \"Best Score\". The music in SN consisted of a six-note melody and electronic noise. The music in Inception was a symphony of power and emotion. Hans Zimmer was robbed.
