The Cinema Audio Society Awards honor The Hurt Locker for its sound!

This also throws a monkey wrench into the tech categories (though I've long predicted a split between Avatar and The Hurt Locker). The full winners are here, but with The Hurt Locker taking the Sound Mixing award at this precursor, I could definitely see it winning with Oscar and making my prediction less of a long shot.
