They Found Their Way

Dwayne 'Don't Call Me The Rock When I'm Acting' Johnson had the honor of presenting the Visual Effects Oscar. Johnson joked he thought the face-melting scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark was real when he was just a lad of 8... Yes, Johnson's charming even when his joke bombs. And the winners are the guys who handled the effects work on The Golden Compass. The film may have been box office poison but now it will always be able to advertise itself as an Oscar winner. The foursome accepting the Oscar gave a shut-out to their crews and their families - and didn't have to be rushed off stage.
