SRF notes that while Avid leads the fanboy bragging rights game with most of the major category Oscar winners using an Avid tool at some point of production, the Coen Brothers “No Country for Old Men” marked the first film with an all-digital Mac workflow to garner a statuette.

Hmmm i think the first oscar winning feature edited in FCP 3.0 was Cold Moutain. It was done by the famous Walter Murch and there’s even a book about it. I guess other features on the oscar list was completed on FCP as well.
What the Avid quote is saying is that “every single one of the nominated and award-winning films in the Best Motion Picture, Directing, Film Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects, Documentary Feature and Original Score categories at this year’s Academy Awards were created using at least one Avid, Digidesign, Sibelius or Softimage product.�
Well… if you read it right, they are not wrong. It is very likely that everyone of those features were at least mixed using protools. It is de facto standard in audio mixing. Even No country for old man was probably mixed with protools… so they are kinda right.
My 2 cents.

Ed, the key phrase here in regards to “No Country” is that it was the first Oscar winning “…movie edited with a completely digital workflow on Mac.” It’s interesting too that Apple hasn’t mentioned if sound was done on Avid products or not.
Cold Mountain didn’t win best picture like the above film, though many actors were nominated and Zellweger took one home. It picked up several technical awards as well, more info at IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159365/awards

Maybe Apple could take the pro tools market if they could make logic more pro and less garage band pro. I think it’s safe to say that if Avid doesn’t do something major to Pro Tools companies like Pyramix will start taking a bigger market share.
