Oscars 2012 Nominations: The Contenders' Reactions
UPDATED: Viola Davis, Gary Oldman, Martin Scorsese, Bernice Bejo, Janet McTeer, Wim Wenders and fellow Oscar nominees sound off.
The Weinstein Co.
Nominations for the 84th annual Academy Awards were announced Tuesday morning with Hugo leading the way with 11 and The Artist following with 10.
The nominees sound off on what the noms mean to them:
COMPLETE LIST: 2012 Academy Award Nominations
BEST ACTRESS: VIOLA DAVIS, THE HELP
"This second nomination will affect my career even more than the first one," Davis told THR. "Honestly, I can't wait to get back to doing what I love: acting. On Feb. 27, when this is all over, I will get back to my life. I love the awards I've won, I'm so proud and happy to have received them, but I don't take them to bed with me. All I am at the end of the day is an actor. I'm also incredibly happy that Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close was nominated for best picture. It was the last film called and I was just thrilled, I really was. … We often honor films that are technically proficient, but not necessarily coming from the heart. I always love the underdog story, the dark horse that comes out of nowhere. It proves you can't predict what reaches people." — Merle Ginsberg
BEST ACTRESS: GLENN CLOSE, ALBERT NOBBS
"Just elated. Elated, elated," Glenn Close described her state of mind the morning of the nominations. She had come back to her home from a green tea latte with her husband in New York's East Village with the Oscars not even on her mind when her publicist rang with the news. Perhaps even more satisfying than her own nomination was Close hearing that Martial Corneville, Lynn Johnston and Matthew W. Mungle were nominated for best make-up. "I think their work is the opposite of the work in Harry Potter or Iron Lady. It was minimalist. It represents the fineness of the craft. I could not have done Albert without them." Close said the work was crucial technically and emotionally. Sitting the chair, she said, "was a meditative. You had time to watch the character come to life. And then there was the tipping point where it wasn't you anymore." — Borys Kit

BEST ACTRESS: ROONEY MARA, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO
"I was sleeping and my phone started going crazy," recalled Rooney Mara. The movie had been skirting around the edges of the awards season and was one of those question marks on pundits' radar. "I knew there was a small chance, but I wasn't expecting it. I don't know about the politics of (awards), but it came late in the game and it seems to me that a lot of the movies that got the awards came out early. I feel really honored and humbled to be on the list." One of the first people she talked to was Tattoo director David Fincher. While Mara kept most of the details of the conversation to herself, she revealed that she told him, "I could not have done it without him and he should feel responsible for the nomination and take pride in it." — Borys Kit
BEST ACTOR: GARY OLDMAN, TINKER TAILOR SOLDER SPY
"I'm in Berlin; we have the premiere of Tinker Tailor over here tonight," he told THR. "I was in the middle of an interview with a German newspaper when I found out [about the nomination]. My manager walked in with tears in his eyes. I personally was not expecting anything. It was a normal workday. If you took the temperature of the last month, from some of the critics and award nominations, we've been absent from those. This was my very last interview for press for Tinker Tailor. Ironic, isn't it? Now it's a whole new round of them." — Merle Ginsberg

BEST ACTOR: DEMIAN BICHIR, A BETTER LIFE
"I got the news in Mexico City, where I am rehearsing a play that goes up in two weeks," Bichir told THR. "We are two hours later than L.A., it was 7:45 a.m. I am feeling sick, I started to feel it last night. So I went to sleep early and slept through the nominations because I have to be well by the time the play opens. Of course, an Oscar nomination is making me feel much better! My girlfriend called me from L.A. with the news, and since I'm running a fever, I thought I was just having a feverish dream! Then my wonderful publicists and producers called to congratulate me. I honestly did not expect this at all." "I know most Americans don't know me, even though I've been acting for almost 30 years. A number of actors were virtually unheard of in the States before their Oscar nominations – Geoffrey Rush, for instance. It is the best career catalyst! So I am hoping this leads to more American filmmakers and producers offering me more beautiful roles." — Merle Ginsberg
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: JANET MCTEER, ALBERT NOBBS
Janet McTeer tuned in to ABC to watch the nominations while in the green room for NBC's Today show. And while she admitted she wasn't bouncing off of the walls with the nomination (being British), she says she's good at keeping a stiff upper lip, she concedes: "I'm bouncing off in my skin." McTeer was barraged by texts in the morning — she was amazed she got a congratulatory text from her mother in England, saying "I don¹t even know how she knew they were today"  but delighted in talking to Glenn Close, who was nominated for best actress for Nobbs. "We just giggled like mad, that our film, that took so long to get out the door, was getting recognized. The delay of gratification makes it more charming. It's a small film with big heart, and we didn¹t have ton of money. Now hopefully more people will go and see it." — Borys Kit
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: BERNICE BEJO, THE ARTIST:
"This is amazing. We watched the nominations live on TV at 2:30 p.m. Paris time. Mine was the first name called. I felt like, whoa! You see your face, your picture and your name on the screen. In France, I think there are not so many French actresses to ever have been nominated for Oscars. Only three have won. And only one French film has ever been nominated for best picture, as opposed to best foreign film. So we are doing something very special for the French! People say this will change my career, but we'll see. I can't really compete with American actresses, I have an accent. We'll see what can happen with me. I am going to work on my American accent. And – I'll be in L.A. for the next two weeks if someone needs to meet with me!" — Merle Ginsberg

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER, BEGINNERS
Plummer was sleeping at his home in Los Angeles when the nominations were announced and was woken by a phone call. That's how he learned he'd been nominated for best supporting actor for Mike Mill's Beginners. "The film is enchanting, warm and touching," he said, adding that he didn't have any reservations about the role. "The story was so well constructed and so wonderfully conceived," he said. Plummer said he was pleased that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo co-star Rooney Mara landed in the best actress category. –Pamela McClintock
BEST DIRECTOR: MARTIN SCORSESE, HUGO
A natural night owl, Martin Scorsese was asleep at his New York City home when the nominations were announced (when he's not working, he usually stays up until 2:30 a.m. or 3 a.m., waking around 9:30 a.m.). He's got a strict phone-free policy until 1 p.m., but in this case was willing to take a call from his agent, WME's Ari Emmanuel. That's how he learned that Hugo had picked up 11 nominations, the most of any film. "It's one thing to to get excited, but you can't get your hopes up. I'm trying to stay reserved," Scorsese told THR. He's hoping that the nominations introduce more moviegoers to his film, which has earned north of $55 million in North America and north of $27 million overseas, where it has just now started to rollout. Hugo ties with Scorsese's The Aviator in terms of the number of nominations. –Pamela McClintock

BEST PICTURE: HUGO
Producer Graham King was basking in the 11 nominations for Hugo and the best animation nom for Rango. King was happy to see Hugo receive recognition in the below the line categories since "every department had to roll their sleeves up and figure out how to do it. It took a group effort." And while the Martin Scorsese movie seemed to be chugging on the awards train, King reiterated that you can't count on anything. "I'm still trying to figure out how it got nine nominations for BAFTA but not a best picture but here it did. One never knows," he said. — Borys Kit
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: OCTAVIA SPENCER, THE HELP
Octavia Spencer spent the night at the Four Seasons having a bit of a slumber party with some of her cohorts from The Help. Director Tate Taylor, producer Brunson Green, and actors Alison Janney, Ahna O'Reilly and Chris Lowell went out, had too much wine, and some ended up crashing in several rooms. "We hadn't really celebrated The Help privately for its box office success, the critical success or the social success and we didn't know what today would bring," Spencer said. The group, minus Janney, got up to watch the nominations together and "we screamed. We screamed at every nomination, and for people like Melissa McCarthy, and for everyone we knew," she said. And she said that despite that long awards season in which The Help has popped up everywhere, she took nothing for granted. "I'm glad the surprise was still there. I did not want to assume anything," she said. — Borys Kit
BEST PICTURE: WAR HORSE, THE HELP
"I'm thrilled all the way around," said DreamWorks co-chairman-CEO Stacey Snider said. DreamWorks is the only company to have two films nominated for best picture—The Help and Steven Spielberg's War Horse. "This represents so much to all of us. What's gratifying is that both films were recognized for their profound themes." –Pamela McClintock
Steven Spielberg added: "I am thrilled with our multiple nominations for The Help and War Horse. It is the first time that I have experienced two Best Picture nominations in the same year. One is a high honor. Two is humbling but very exciting. It is a tribute to all those who joined with Stacey Snider and our DreamWorks Studios team to develop and make these two films with stories that we passionately felt we had to make."
BEST DOCUMENTARY: PINA
"I think it's an amazing thing," said German director Wim Wenders on hearing the news that Pina, his 3D documentary on the late dance choreographer Pina Bausch had received an Oscar nom for best documentary. "It's particularly amazing when you think we almost abandoned this film after Pina's death. But we, her dancers and I, carried on with this adventure and it has taken us farther than we had ever imagined." Wenders who received an best documentary nomination, but didn't win, in 2000 for Buena Vista Social Club, said we was being careful not to jinx his chances this time. "I've very excited but I learned with Buena Vista Social Club that it's not good to focus on whether you will win," Wenders said. — Scott Roxborough

BEST PICTURE, THE HELP
The producers of The Help—Brunson Green, Chris Columbus and Michael Barnathan—got worried after the first five best picture nominations were announced, and still no nod for their film, a box office sensation. "I started to have this awful feeling that it might not happen," said Columbus, who was at his house in San Francisco. But their fears were unfounded—The Help was No. 7 out of the nine films nominated. –Pamela McClintock
BEST PICTURE: THE DESCENDANTS
"Nobody woke me. I set my alarm. I've never been nominated for an Academy Award before, and I was hoping today would change that," producer Jim Burke told THR. "Alexander Payne's in Rome, so I sent him an email, and everybody who was nominated. Shailene [Woodley] was left out. It's gotta probably hurt a little. She's totally fantastic. I sent her a text too. We make films that rely on word of mouth and critical response, and now that we've won the Golden Globes and gotten five Academy Award nominations, it will really help encourage people go out and see it. I've heard many other people say it's a quiet film, and it may at first seem that way, but if you see it more than once you see there's a lot more going on." –– Timothy Appelo
BEST ANIMATED FILM: PUSS IN BOOTS
"It is the best kind of strange," said Chris Miller, director of DreamWorks Animation's Puss in Boots. "Surreal, dreamy, thrilling—everything imaginable. I can't believe it."
He admits: "I was nervous, I couldn't sleep. … I had just fallen asleep (when the call came in)." He added that he was "very impressed" with the category nominees. "I love all of these films. It was a pretty great year in animation and speaks to the diversity. "2D, 3D, CG, a hand-drawn approach—and very international," he continued. "I'm proud to be a part of it." — Carolyn Giardina
BEST ANIMATED FILM: KUNG FU PANDA 2
"I was in bed, watching it streaming on my tablet," said first-time nominee Jennifer Yuh Nelson, director of DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda 2. "I'm ecstatic; I'm still in shock. It's a huge honor." The director said she received a lot of phone calls, emails and texts — and was planning to go the the DreamWorka Animation campus today to "get together to hug and toast. I don't think people realize that between 300-400 people worked on the this film. I'm really happen for everyone on the crew." — Carolyn Giardina

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: BRIDESMAIDS
"I was sleeping and my husband came in and said, 'You should come in here for a second. You got nominated for an Academy Award.' I almost passed out," Annie Mumalo told THR. "My mom said she thinks what connected with audiences was that the story feels real. Life is painted with everything. There's comedy in the darkness. Nothing is ever one note in life. It would be great for comedies to be recognized. I do not have a dress, but thank you for bringing that up. What we go through to be in any fancy dress anytime! Hopefully, something like [what happens to dresses in Bridesmaids] will not be involved." –– Timothy Appelo
BEST FOREIGN FILM, BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: A SEPARATION
"The nomination for original screenplay is more important for me because more than everything I consider myself a writer," Asghar Farhadi told THR. "When my assistant gave me the news I was writing a scene I've been struggling with for a few days. It was less probable than the other nomination. This nomination is an image that the Iranian people would like to show. They would like to be seen for their culture. There is a bigger picture: the common language of people all around the world is cinema and through this nomination we can understand it better. If I win this Oscar, it will be not just for me but for all the directors work work in a language other than English. It means language is not a barrier in cinema. It's a world industry. The memory of Ingmar Bergman's films is still inside my head, and the fact that makes this Oscar more precious to me is that Max von Sydow, who worked with Bergman, is one of the nominees." –– Timothy Appelo
BEST PICTURE: THE TREE OF LIFE
Producer Bill Pohlad was at his home in Minneapolis when the Oscar nominations were announced, including top noms for Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life, which Pohlad financed and produced. "We were getting our seven-year-old ready for school, and we all watched it together. I was shocked and excited. You always hope it's going to happen, but you try to talk yourself down," he told THR, adding that he spoke with Malick not long after. "Even Terry seemed a little speechless." There are four other producers on the film — Brad Pitt (who also stars), Dede Gardner, Pitt's partner at Plan B, Sarah Green and Grant Hill — and it's not yet clear who will get credit from AMPAS (the Academy usually likes to limit it to three producers, or four). –Pamela McClintock
Sarah Green, producer on The Tree of Life, says she got the news while at the Austin Humane Society, where she volunteers to walk dogs. "Today they were trotting around the block," she laughed. "It was very exciting." "I think one of the most exciting things is that (audiences) want to talk about it … There is nothing more exciting than being part of something that had an effect on people," Green said, who added that she was planning to see director Terrence Malick and the team. — Carolyn Giardina
BEST PICTURE: MONEYBALL
Moneyball producer Michael De Luca said he felt of the film's six nominations "like hitting the game winning homerun in the extra inning." De Luca had set his alarm and was "euphoric" when he heard the names. "It was a long haul with this film. And to be here, and see the recognition and the acclaim from the Academy and the audience, it's been great. We're very grateful that the movie got to this place." One nomination the movie didn't receive was one for Bennett Miller in the best director category. "He got us here and it was his vision," said De Luca. "As much as anyone, he is the author of this movie with the writers and with Brad (Pitt). There are a lot of big gun directors this year. It was competitive but I think he's reflected in our nominations." — Borys Kit

BEST EDITING: KEVIN TENT, THE DESCENDANTS
"It's thrilling and it's shocking," The Descendents editor Kevin Tent said of receiving his first Academy Award nomination. "I overslept so I went online. I got emails … then my sister called from Buffalo." He noted that he was already scheduled to have dinner on Wednesday with producer Jim Burke. "He has been a real supporter—and Alexander (Payne) too … Alexander loves being in the cutting room and we worked closely." — Carolyn Giardina
BEST PICTURE: MIDNIGHT IN PARIS
Midnight in Paris producer Letty Aronson, in town visiting her Malibu-based daughter, was pretty certain the Woody Allen movie would receive a best screenplay nomination but was extremely pleased for the best director and best picture. Aronson believes a major factor in the success of the movie is "everyone identifies with the concept of thinking that life would be better in a different time, with someone else. It's a fantasy but a special effects fantasy. It's a guy going into a car in a dark street and you're transported. It's not sci-fi. That makes it more believable, more real." — Borys Kit
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: MARGIN CALL
"In September, as things [with the Occupy movement] started to build, we were freaking out this would be a classic case of too close to the bone," writer J.C. Chandor told THR. "I'm convinced that if the movement had gone violent, people would not have wanted to engage [with the film]. What came out of that movement was that the general population was ready to engage in a dialogue in this matter. It's the canary in the cold mine; it's a ticking time bomb: this country is spending more money than it's taking in and it's something we'regoing to have to be talking a lot about. For the film to come into that while still be entertaining and shedding light on the subject is more than you can hope for when you sit down to write something three years ago." — Lesley Goldberg
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY, HUGO
The Oscar nomination morning seemed to be much like 2011 for wonderscribe John Logan, nominated for best adapted screenplay for Hugo but also enjoying seeing his Rango nominated for best animated feature: action-packed. Logan was furiously doing rewrites on the new James Bond movie Skyfall, then
checking the television for the noms, then going back to Skyfall. Both Hugo and Rango have unique attributes for Logan. He called Hugo a "kind story" and a "gracious story" and theorized that Hollywood loved seeing Scorsese explore the world of cinema that was so dear to him. Rango he described as an "anarchic pleasure" and that whenever there was a fork in the road in the making of it, "we embraced the knarly, embraced the eccentric." Logan had no plans to celebrate since a Skyfall action sequence needed his immediate attention and he had to prepare for a meeting with Frankie Valle since he is also writing the adaptation on The Jersey Boys. — Borys Kit
BEST ORIGINAL SONG: "MAN OR MUPPET" FROM THE MUPPETS
New Zealand-based Bret McKenzie, nominated for best original song for The Muppets' "Man or a Muppet" was celebrating Kiwi style, by eating vegemite on toast. McKenzie said the song is his favorite of all the songs he wrote for the Disney movie, which he was relieved to see getting some awards love after being snubbed by the Golden Globes. Notable this year in the song category was the inclusion of only two songs. "It seems pretty unusual. The only thing that would be better would be if there was only one nomination," he told THR. — Borys Kit
BEST ORIGINAL SCORE: TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY
"I was here in Madrid writing music for a concert when I got the call," Alberto Iglesias told THR. "I stopped, and then I forgot my ideas for the concert. The film is about spies, people listening to everything, some saying almost nothing. The music becomes the feeling, especially of Smiley, Gary Oldman. The music takes part for his mind, the things he knows and feels but does not say. I feel very good. I would like to thank all my colleagues who voted for me." –– Timothy Appelo
BEST FOREIGN FILM: IN DARKNESS
"I'm in Warsaw and when the news came it was amazing, I'm a celebrity now, like I'm the soccer team representing Poland in the World Cup," said Agnieszka Holland, on hearing that her Holocaust drama In Darkness received a nomination for best foreign language film. "The movie is in its third week in the theatres here and its been incredibly successful. For this kind of movie, that's sort of a miracle." Holland has been nominated twice before: Angry Harvest received a best foreign language nomination in 1986 and Europa got a nom in the best adapted screenplay category in 1992. "The first time, I was just so surprised to be nominated, I didn't think beyond that," she said. "The second time, I knew I would never win for best screenplay against all the English ones nominated, so it was less dreadful. It wasn't like this time where I have the pressure of an entire country on me. But I'm usually pretty cool about these things. I take it with a healthy fatalism. One you win, one you lose. Like life." — Carolyn Giardina
BEST FOREIGN FILM: MONSIEUR LAZHAR
Today, Montreal director Phillippe Falardeau learned the poignancy of hearing extraordinary news in ordinary surroundings: "I'm renting this totally unremarkable condo here in Sundance, but now I'm going to remember it for the rest of my life," he observes with a laugh. More remarkable was Falardeau's decidedly joyful response to the news that Monsieur Lazhar, a voluptuous meditation on suicide and grief from the point-of-view of schoolchildren, had been nominated for Best Foreign Feature: "I was screaming so hard, I didn't hear the title of the film – I just heard 'Canada,' and I jumped into my producer's [Luc Dery's] arms, simultaneously hoping I wasn't going to break his back." His second call, after his girlfriend, was to his parents: "My father mentioned there was a huge storm going on in Quebec and that the schools were closed. He said, 'I thought it was because of your film – I thought it was because of you.'" –Jeanie Pyun
BEST FOREIGN FILM: FOOTNOTE
"In Israel the announcement is at 3:30 in the afternoon, so we have a whole afternoon of anxiety and stress, a whole day of eating our fingernails," writer/director Joseph Cedar told THR. "I was at home with my curtains closed. In our little country it's a pretty big event. Everyone was waiting for me outside. I felt like the flatmate in Notting Hill when he opened the door. It's completely blown out of proportion in our small provincial country but there's something beautiful about that. It's a film about meaningful awards are. Or how meaningful they are when you don't receive them. The stars are both trying on their tuxedoes and starting to diet." –– Timothy Appelo
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: THE TREE OF LIFE
"I'm very happy, very excited, very honored," said Emmanuel Lubezki, director of photograpy of The Tree of Life, on receiving his fourth Academy Award nomination for best cinematography. "I was leaving my house, I'm working today on a commercial [in Los Angeles], and I started getting texts from many friends an family. I'm excited, [and particularly] excited about Terry [Malick] getting a nomination. I hope this gives the movie another round where people can go and see it." — Carolyn Giardina
BEST ART DIRECTION: HUGO
"This is number ten… not bad," chuckled Hugo production designer Dante Ferretti, who received his tenth Academy Award nomination. He previously won Oscars for The Aviator and Sweeney Todd. Ferretti got the news this morning in Vancouver, where he is in preproduction on The Seventh Son. "I received many phone calls this morning," he said. "I'm really happy. I love (Hugo) and we did a big job because we built everything from scratch." He related that the elaborate Paris train station took roughly six months to design and build on stages at Shepperton and Longcross in the UK. — Carolyn Giardina
BEST ANIMATED FILM: CHICO & RITA
"Martin [Pope] and I heard via text from the office while having lunch in Soho. It's fabulous feeling and we are all thrilled and delighted that the Academy has recognized the film with this nomination," said Michael Rose, producer of best animated film nominee Chico & Rita. (Rose produced with Martin Pope, both of London based Magic Light Pictures, who pick up their second successive nomination for animated films. In 2011, Magic Light's production of The Gruffalo was nominated in the best animated short film category.) — Stuart Kemp
BEST EDITING: HUGO
"It is thrilling. Eleven (nominations for Hugo)! I freaked out when I heard on radio," says Hugo editor and longtime Scorsese collaborator Thelma Schoonmaker, who received her seventh Academy Award nomination. She has won Oscars for Scorsese's Raging Bull, The Aviator and The Departed. Schoonmaker is currently working with the nominated director, cutting a documentary about British cinema. "I will see (Scorsese) this afternoon. We'll probably break out the champagne. There are so many people who work on his films," she said citing members of the entire team including archivists, researchers and interns. "We'll have a celebration (with the team). They work so hard." — Carolyn Giardina
BEST DOCUMENTARY FILM: UNDEFEATED
Documentary filmmakers T.J. Martin and Dan Lindsay have a plan for celebrating their first Oscar nomination: To pop a bottle of champagne — earlier rather than later.
The were each awakened by Weinsten Co. publicist Pantea Ghaderi who called them — "screaming," Martin says, with the news that they were nominees, and while Lindsay was on the phone with her, he "grabbed this very nice bottle of champagne someone sent us when we made the short list and put it in the fridge to cool. We're going to pop that one today." "I'm going to go to Dan's house," agrees Martin. "He's set the tone for the rest of day: "Wake up, then go drink champagne before noon. It's not every day you get an opportunity to do that." "It's totally crazy to think that we didn't even watch the Oscars last year because we were sitting in our editing bay still trying tofinish this film — which we didn't know if anyone would ever see," Lindsay says. "Here we are a year later, and we're going to the Oscars." –Noela Hueso
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS: TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON
"There is nothing like it," said Transformers: Dark of the Moon's VFX supervisor Scott Farrar of receiving what is his sixth Oscar nomination. (He won the trophy for Cocoon.) "I got up, made coffee… picked up my mobile phone and saw what was happening. The first call was from Miles Perkins (ILM's director of marketing and communications)." Farrar—who is currently working on World War Z—said of this year's VFX nominations: "Every (nominated) movie is a different style; that is cool. The work is getting really good. It is an exciting time." — Carolyn Giardina
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS: RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
Senior VFX supervisor Joe Letteri of Weta Digital received the news that the Rise of the Planet of the Apes team had been nominated for its VFX from Wellington, where he is working on The Hobbit. "I woke up and checked email, and had a bunch of congratulations," he said. "It feels great, it's really pretty exciting." This is Letteri's sixth nomination for VFX work. He has won Oscars for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, King Kong and Avatar. "I enjoy using visual effects to create characters. It seems that was what was recognized this year," he said, citing not just Apes, but several fellow nominees. "There is something that connects with the audience." He added: "We still have a lot to do today (on The Hobbit). We'll celebrate tonight." Letteri is nominated for the VFX on Apes with Dan Lemmon, R. Christopher White and Daniel Barrett. — Carolyn Giardina
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS: REAL STEEL
"My producer called my cell phone at 5:45, but I wasn't asleep," said Real Steel VFX supervisor Erik Nash of how he learned of his second Oscar nomination. "It feels great; I felt it was a long shot because it was such a huge year for visual effects. It's a real honor." The bot fights in Real Steel were created on a motion capture stage, in advance of principal photography. "The virtual production pipeline enabled us to shoot the movie in 71 days, which for a VFX movie is short, especially as there was no second unit. … I think it opened some eyes to ways to do different types of effects. (Virtual production) added flexibility and efficiency that could be game changer." Nash is nominated for Real Steel along with John Rosengrant, Dan Taylor and Swen Gillberg. — Carolyn Giardina
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS: HUGO
"Everybody was up early," said Hugo VFX supervisor Rob Legato, who learned of his third Academy Award nomination at home. He previously won an Oscar for Titanic. "My daughter woke up early, put on the TV. We watched the announcement and then went to the website." "It's such a rare thing, it wonderful how supportive and gracious everyone is," he added of the congratulations that he received. "For me, it is the calibre of the collaborators, starting with Marty," Legato said of Hugo. "He has an adoration of movies — making them and watching them. Everyone shared that… It is a collective of all of these great artists making a movie about a great artist." Hugo's VFX nominees are Legato, Joss Williams, Ben Grossman and Alex Henning. — Carolyn Giardina

BEST ANIMATED SHORT: A MORNING STROLL
Nominated producer Grant Orchard and director Sue Goffe, along with their team, watched the live announcement in their conference room at London's Studio AKA, and then went online to find that their A Morning Stroll was nominated for animated short. "We made a lot of noise," said Goffe. "The champagne is about to arrive." Chuckled Orchard: "There was hugging, which is unusual for us. … That is not done over here." The pair explains that the self-financed six-minute short was completed over two years in between commercial projects at AKA. "My hands have stopped shaking," said Goffe. "It is unreal; it is the most amazing recognition." — Carolyn Giardina
BEST ANIMATED SHORT: WILD LIFE
Nominated Calgary animators Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby had the same reaction to the news: "We're jubilant," says Forbis. "We're in a great state of excitement," says Tilby. "Tonight we're going to have a party in the skate track, where we play hockey. Doesn't that sound Canadian? Everybody brings food, it's a potluck party. Lots of beer and wine." Says Forbis, "It'll be a wild night." — Tim Appelo
BEST COSTUME DESIGN: HUGO
"I was in a car in a traffic jam (in) rainy London," said Hugo costume designer Sandy Powell of where she was when she learned that she had received her tenth Academy Award nomination. (She has won Oscars for The Young Victoria, The Aviator and Shakespeare in Love.) "I wasn't driving which was lucky. My supervisor called me. It is always exciting." She then found herself in a department store, where she admitted she was looking at men's underwear to use in her next production. "My phone is having a meltdown," she said. "I think I'm on my last bit of battery life. It is really nice to receive the messages. I'm really pleased for everyone on Hugo." Of keeping the leading characters in the same costumes, she explained: "It was deliberate, there is so much going on, we need to recognize them… There was no need to change their clothes, it didn't add to the story." — Carolyn Giardina
BEST SOUND MIXING: WAR HORSE
For Gary Rydstorm, today's recognitions for sound editing and sound mixing on War Horse are his 15th and 16th Academy Award nominations. "I was sleeping. Phil Benson, who runs Skywalker Sound called from Sundance (with the news," he related, noting that he had actually stepped away from sound for a while, to direct shorts — including his Oscar-nominated Lifted — for Pixar Animation Studios. "The reason I can back was for this movie. I heard about War Horse; it sounded so good for sound," Rydstorm explained. "World War I was an interested backdrop… For sound it is fun to bring characters (in this case the horses) to life. When we did the sound mix, we leaned heavily on how emotional the music was. I'm happy (composer) John Williams was nominated as well." — Carolyn Giardina

Child victim of Egypt church attack dies; death toll now 27
By The Associated Press | Posted - Dec. 20, 2016 at 6:00 a.m.
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's state news agency says a 10-year-old girl who was critically wounded in the suicide bombing at a Cairo church earlier this month, has died of her wounds.
The fatality raises the death toll from the attack to 27. Egypt's Islamic State affiliate has claimed responsibility for the bombing, though authorities blamed the banned Muslim Brotherhood group.
The little girl, Maggie Mamoun, became the face of the Coptic community's grief in the days following the horrific bombing, with photos of the smiling child circulating on social media, along with prayer requests.
The MENA news agency said on Tuesday that her funeral will be held at the church that was bombed.
The attack was the worst in living memory on Egypt's Christians, who make up nearly 10 percent of the population.

Joke's on Google as its April Fools' Day prank backfires
Katie Rife
PublishedApril 1, 2016
Much like how American retailers just can't seem to help themselves from pushing their made-up orgies of unbridled consumerism (Black Friday) ever closer to our official orgy of unbridled gluttony (Thanksgiving), April Fools' Day seems to come earlier every year. The "festivities" began yesterday with a Yahoo! article claiming Trader Joe's would close its doors in 2017, sending social-media users into a panic wondering where they would get their borderline offensively named salsas at reasonable prices. That, of course, was a "prank" (lie), as anyone who's ever gone to Trader Joe's on a Saturday afternoon already knows. It's madness.
Anyway, next up was Google, which has been amusing itself—and only itself—with Gmail-based April Fools' Day pranks for a few years now. This year's new joke feature was the "Mic Drop," which allows users to "Get the last word on any email—just send your message with the new Mic Drop button. Everyone will see your response and this GIF, but you'll never see the conversation again. 'Nuff said." (What GIF? A Minions one, of course, which would be enough for this writer to never respond to an email from that person ever again, regardless of the blocking function.)
The problem, according to Gizmodo, is that Google put the fully functional joke "Send and Mic Drop" button right next to the regular "Send" button, resulting in a lot of misunderstandings and hurt feelings. And even among the more precise clickers, a bug was causing Minions GIFs to randomly attach themselves to unrelated emails, which brings its own set of issues. Apparently, one user's editor even hates Minions enough to fire them for failing to respond to an email requesting changes to an article—this didn't happen at The A.V. Club, by the way, if that's what you're thinking—after the writer used the "Mic Drop" button instead of regular "Send." Unless that person is just "pranking" (lying) about that, too, and everything is fine. Then we'll all just get together and have a big old laugh. Har har.
Google isn't laughing, though. It's already pulled the "Mic Drop" feature, and has released a statement apologizing for being so hilarious and sneaky, saying:
Well, it looks like we pranked ourselves this year. 😟 Due to a bug, the Mic Drop feature inadvertently caused more headaches than laughs. We're truly sorry. The feature has been turned off. If you are still seeing it, please reload your Gmail page.

Sheila Ison Wellstone (August 18, 1944 – October 25, 2002) was an advocate for human rights, the environment, and peace. She was married to U.S. Senator from Minnesota Paul Wellstone. Wellstone focused much of her work on domestic violence, assisting survivors and pursuing policies to support its prevention. She briefly considered running for Governor of Minnesota in the 2002 election, but ultimately chose not to.

While campaigning with her husband in his 2002 re-election campaign, she died in a plane crash along with her husband and daughter Marcia. The Sheila Wellstone Institute continues her commitment to building power and visibility to ensure that ending violence against women and children is a national priority.

Throughout your senior year of high school, you've heard all about the new experiences that await you at college, and the importance of learning how to balance that with schoolwork. While students face lots of temptation to get involved with as many student organizations and try as many new things as possible, it's important to establish a routine to keep you on track. There's something really helpful about structure, and with the independence given to you in college, creating a routine helps to keep you on top of your work. Even with all the structure, it's important to remember how excited you were when you first started college. It's important not to lose sight of the way you looked at this next journey as a high school senior, idealizing all the possibilities for experiences you could create and people you'd meet. The grind of daily college life can create a monotonous routine of going to classes and going straight home, but if you pull yourself out of that mindset, there are countless experiences that await you.
Though the amount of clubs and organizations available to you can be daunting, there's no harm in checking them out; it's by no means a commitment to anything. Even if you do decide to commit, many clubs meet so sporadically that you'd only be committing yourself to a few hours a month. The knowledge and relationships you gain from those few hours can build networks and create memories that'll prove to be crucial to your collegiate experience. For example, a group that seems outside of your realm of interest might create encounters that change the way you think entirely. Something as simple as yoga in Monroe Park can help you become more self-aware, spark an interest in meditation, and introduce you to groups of people whose paths you might otherwise never cross.
While clubs and organizations can seem intimidating and exclusive, you can't let it stop you from stepping outside of your comfort zone. You get out what you put into them, so push yourself to get intimately involved, and even challenge yourself to take part in running the group! Holding a position on the executive board helps you flex your leadership muscles, and is the perfect resume booster, making you attractive to future employers. If you genuinely don't enjoy your experience in the organization, then no harm, no foul, but college is about trying new things and figuring out what's right for you, just like the rest of the student body! If organizations on campus aren't your thing, or if you're not connecting with anyone in the way you'd hoped, try your hands at things happening in Richmond. Whether it be political action groups, art shows, or even just game nights at Gallery 5, putting yourself out there in any manner will be an incredibly positive experience for you.
The grind of college can wear students down to the point where the daily routine becomes isolating. Despite that, you have to fight that urge to crawl into bed and binge watch your new favorite TV show. Get out and get involved in your college and the surrounding city; tons of experiences await just outside your door, and college is one of the only times in your life where you have access to a wealth of resources, opportunities, and chances to have as many "firsts" as possible. When you look back on your collegiate career, you won't remember how much rest you got or how many shows you watched while hiding out in your dorm. Take a chance on creating a college career you're proud of. Is it worth passing up a potential passion just because you're tired?


Just whose money is it?
If a slot player walks away from a machine leaving credits in it, and someone else walks up and plays those credits, is that okay? Are credits fair game for everyone else? Nancy G.
According to them, and we all know who them is, 'taint yours. Luckily, if Sticky-finger is caught, there is no soundproof room with a glove-vice waiting. In fact, I have never heard of any leftover-credits-playing culprit being shown the door.
But that doesn't mean there are not naughty charlatans who make a living scavenging the millions lost each year by gamblers who forget their stored credits (winnings).
Called "sea gulling" in gamblese, it is illegal to purposively circle the casino looking for orphan credits on a slot machine, or even change on the floor.
I have seen player impostors given the heave-ho (the dreaded permanent 86) for making a full-time occupation of cruising the casino on the lookout for easy pickings.
Clearly, you're not a casino conniver looking for an easy score. But a tip to you and other slot-playing patrons: before you walk away from any slot machine, dont forget to press the cash-out button. You might tattoo that bit of wisdom on your thumbnail.
I was especially interested in a recent column where you compare the three table poker games and suggested Three Card Poker as being the best. I interpret your message in this paragraph to say that playing the "Pair Plus" option is the best percentage-wise for the player. Am I correct? Or, should we play both the Ante and Pair Plus, then Play if we have a good hand? Hilda R.
Ordinarily, Three Card Poker is a better play than Caribbean Stud (-5.3%), better than Let it Ride (-3.5%), and even better than Pai Gow Poker (-2.5%).
As to the best bet in Three Card Poker itself, it depends, Hilda, on whether like your cards or not; I'll rephrase that — on whether you should like your cards. The house edge is 3.37% against the Ante alone, but only 2.01% against your queen-6-4, if you decide to make the Play bet. With a Pair Plus wager, the casino advantage is slightly higher at 2.32%.
But just when you think you've got your juju flowing over the low house edge of Three Card Poker, take a quick look upstream. Most casinos are now tightening the screws on Three Card Poker by reducing the payoffs on straight flushes and three-of-a-kinds. It's screamingly worse on the Pair Plus payoffs. For example, by making a crafty change on what you're paid for a straight flush from 40-to-1 to 35-to-1, and nibbling down threes-of-a-kind from 30-to-1 to 25-to-1, the house edge jumps to 4.58%, making this originally good game go bad, way bad.
Better yet, Hilda, think about giving Mini-Baccarat a try, or even blackjack, using perfect basic strategy. Each has a house edge well under 2%, whipping all the table games mentioned above.


It is the mission of TUSD to ensure that each student optimizes individual achievement through an educational system characterized by challenging and exciting curricula and inspiring personalized instruction. To achieve this mission, balanced literacy is a structure utilized across TUSD classrooms to ensure that children are provided with multiple opportunities to interact with reading and writing in meaningful ways. The structures serve as a foundation, however the teaching that takes place within each component is the critical element. The signature practices of reading workshop and writing workshop are essential components for supporting children at various levels of proficiency, and classroom libraries serve as the hub for reading materials, as children are matched appropriately with books that align to their individual reading level.
give teachers opportunities to teach and to learn teaching while receiving strong scaffolding and on-the-job guidance.
ELD instructional support is grounded on rigorous standards and engaging instructional strategies. These standards, as they apply to ELD, are described in the CA ELA/ELD Framework. The framework emphasizes the need for students to develop the skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language across all content areas. Equally as important, it includes strategies that teachers can implement to help students cultivate these skills. These instructional approaches are elaborated upon by grade level in the key themes of the framework through an integrated approach during balanced literacy instruction and during designated instruction utilizing McGraw Hill's Wonders Curriculum materials.
Houghton Mifflin Math Expressions is TUSD's K-5 adopted curriculum resource. Teachers utilize these materials in coordination with our district pacing guide to deliver a standards-based , research-proven curriculum rooted in traditional algorithms, conceptual understanding, inquiry and real-world experiences. Teachers also incorporate Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) methods into their instructional design in order to build deeper mathematical understanding. CGI is an educational philosophy applied to mathematics that is based on 20 years of research and focuses on mathematical problem solving. At the core of CGI is the practice of listening to children's mathematical thinking and using it as a basis for instruction. Research based frameworks of children's thinking in the domains of addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, base-ten concepts, multidigit operations, algebra, geometry and fractions provide guidance to teachers about listening to their students.
Next Generation Science Standards for Today's Students and Tomorrow's Workforce: Through a collaborative, state-led process managed by Achieve, new K–12 science standards have been developed and are rich in content and practice. They are arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education. The NGSS is based on the Framework for K–12 Science Education developed by the National Research Council.
TUSD began implementation of the standards in 2016-17. Teachers are utilizing lessons and content from STEMscopes that provides units in the areas of physical, earth and life sciences.

Start the New Year with a new you! Reiki is a great way to reset your mind and body. Reiki is a gentle technique that promotes healing through deep relaxation, stress reduction and opening and enriching the flow of energy through the body. The body's energy can become depleted or blocked from the everyday stresses of life or trauma. When this occurs we typically experience sensations of tightness and discomfort in specific regions of the body. If this blockage of energy persists, disease may develop. Through the infusion of calming Reiki energy, the body's ability to heal is enhanced. Release the stresses of 2017 and give your self a fresh start in 2018 with the help of Reiki. Learn more about Reiki from the top three Reiki Questions and Answers below.
A. In a standard treatment Reiki energy flows from the practitioner's hands into the client. The client is usually laying on a massage table but treatments can also be given while the client is seated or even standing. The client remains fully clothed. The practitioner places her/his hands on or near the client's body in a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the client's needs. Each position is held for three to ten minutes depending on how much Reiki the client needs at each position. The whole treatment usually lasts between 45 and 90 minutes.
A. What one experiences during a Reiki treatment varies somewhat from person to person. However, feelings of deep relaxation are usually felt by all. In addition, many feel a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and surrounds them. As the Reiki energy encourages one to let go of all tension, anxiety, fear or other negative feelings a state of peace and well-being is experienced. Some drift off to sleep or report floating outside their bodies or have visions and other mystical experiences. At the end of the treatment, one feels refreshed with a more positive, balanced outlook.
A. Reiki has had a positive affect on all forms of illness and negative conditions. This includes minor things like head or stomach aches, bee stings, colds, flu, tension and anxiety as well as serious illness like heart disease, cancer, leukemia, etc. The side effects of regular medical treatments have also been reduced or eliminated. This includes the negative effects of chemotherapy, post-operative pain and depression as well as improving the healing rate and reducing the time needed to stay in the hospital. Reiki always helps and in some cases people have experienced complete healings which have been confirmed by medical tests before and after the Reiki treatments. However, while some have experienced miracles, they cannot be guaranteed. Stress reduction with some improvement in one's physical and psychological condition are what most experience.

In the last few days of 2018 I decided to revamp my little studio space and make it more efficient and user-friendly. Inspired by both my score at the the thrift store of a new in box bench grinder & a surprise Christmas gift of a 32in smart TV I realized that my space could be better organized.
2106 Initial placement - Notice the giant pile of silver hurricane shutters to the right. A definite negative influence on how I can place things in my studio.
And so below---All new for 2019!
Here is the revamped space. Over the summer my husband donated his old heavy duty wooden workbench to me for some of my torch techniques including soldering, torch & kiln enameling and more. The bench is great, it's nice and heavy & is pretty big.
The other problem with the old configuration was that I had paid to have extra electrical outlets on the walls when we built the house. Those outlets were blocked by the storage of the hurricane shutters.
By moving the shutters to another part of the garage I am now able to put the workbench along the wall and take advantage of all the power outlets. This will allow me to bolt my 'new' thrift store bench grinder to one end and be able to plug it in when in use. Its much safer having the grinder bolted down to the workbench.
I know probably still looks like a chaotic mess to most people but I have so much more space and everything (almost) has its own perfect location.
Here is a shot of my new TV. I wasn't really sure that I needed one, but now that I have it and can stream not only BOB ROSS but you tube videos of techniques right in the studio I am hooked!!
So lastly, I thought I would share with you a recent project for my desk inspired by something I saw on Pinterest.
This is an old knife block which I picked up at Goodwill for two dollars. I came home and drew some guidelines and then got out my drill and proceeded to fill the back of the knife block with rows of holes of varying sizes.
Then flipped it around and VOILA'- a perfect storage spot for all my Dremel & flex shaft bits.
In the knife slots I can keep all my micro files and even space for my shears & a ruler.
Thanks for checking in today! I will be back soon with more posts. I'm excited to be back to blogging in 2019!


When we arrived at Mr. Baoz, there was an outdoor seating area and Mom ordered a Viennese Cheese Baoz and a cappuccino. Shortly, we were joined by Mimi, a 3 year old yellow lab. He has the cutest face and we sat there for a while getting to know each other.
Before we leave, mom ordered a box of buns to bring home. These are the best looking buns I have ever seen! Mom gave me a little to sample and it got my paws of approval!
It started to drizzle when we were heading home, so we dropped by a pet store to pick up a raincoat for me. It has been raining everyday for the last one month, so this is going to come in useful.
Our afternoon outing took about 3 hours and we were exhausted when we reached home, but it was good to be out and about for a little sunshine.
Those are the cutest looking bus I've ever seen too! I bet they just as good as they look...Hey, that raincoat is nice! My hoomans has bee looking for a raincoat that comes along with a pants too & most importantly, our bottom part of our body is protected. Many raincoats here just protect the top which is useless coz it's the bottom that gets very wet. So anyway, my hoomans have no choice but to buy hooman shirts & pants to make us wear to protect us from the wet.
send my hugs to dino! those bao look yummy! doughnuts are big in Singapore now....the q is almost as long as toto queue!
pee ess - Since stupid daylight savings time some of us have started coming in at 8 a.m. EST/9 p.m. Singapore time.
Hi Amber, thanks for your comment again! I bet you look super cute in your shirt and pants! I would love to see a photo of you in them.
Hi lil' pups, I miss you and I hope to see you in Taipei soon! I will get you some of those lovely buns when you are here!
Those buns look YUMMY! My mom was drewling with us, when she saw them.
Your rain gear looks great! We don't get much rain here in NM, when we do, mom makes us stay inside. Something to do with the "wet dog" smell. Wedon't know what that means, but it doesn't sound good.


I'm trying in vain to blog more holiday posts before i shoot off for another holiday this Thursday!
This time, it'll be back to Bali with Clem.
Well, actually, i do, i really do.
so maybe it's time to find a new second home.
to relish in the moment we woke up!
and everyone was in a completely chilled out mood.
and pottered over to hotel buffet to have breakfast.
I went for the Laotian pork porridge every day i was there yummeh.
And half-boiled eggs and toast too.
Porridge alone is not enough for me!
All of us go for yoga at the same teacher based in D'sara Heights in KL.
and it felt so amazing in the cool air with grass in between our toes!
After that, i don't know what to describe we were doing except 'NOTHING'.
I sat on the bench facing the river and stared out at the hills and mist.
Steph was on a mission to get THE perfert macro picture of an ant.
She said they had tiny spikes on their bodies.
Then a butterfly came fluttering around and she went chasing after it.
and playing with my blue butterfly.
we all managed to get ready and head out for lunch and afternoon waterfall adventures.
She can speak fluent French after studying it for a year.
and so so hoped that not all the river bars would be blasting such crazy music the next day when we were planning to go tubing.
See the bar is crowded with ppl on the left of pic.
Little village children on the right bathing in river.
how she was going to wear Crocs.
She knows how much i detest them till i threaten to throw my friends' Crocs away if they're around me.
But the ones she had were not so bad.
Leopard print saves some fashion sense.
Maurice next to all the anklets Steph has collected from her travels.
AWHHHH the organic food at the farm was fantastic!
We ordered so much and stuffed our faces silly.
Hopped back on the tuk tuk to find a waterfall after lunch.
Scenery was wonderful, but i was passing out from eating so much at lunch.
Have to admit that i took some of these pictures without actually focusing on what i was taking!
and we crossed a river to find a cave.
My 'I heart burger' top is from Pop.Muse.Sic!
but we couldn't find the cave.
… and lots of Laotian children bathing in the river.
but this one scowled at me.
I don't blame her, i would've scowled at someone invading my bathing territory too!
The last time i swam nekkid was in Tioman.
I miss being nekkid in nature! Best feeling.
and went back to the tuk tuk where the driver was having a nappy nap.
where he personally walked us to a magnificent waterfall.
had way too much water spraying about like a storm for its safety!
Water was icy cold! Steph is mad.
Look at all the mist!!
cos hiking over sharp rocks and slippery mud ain't fun.
Dinner time back in town yayyyy!
Dessert for me was banana nutella pancake the local women fry to a precious crisp.
where we do what every backpacker comes to Vang Vieng to experience – tubing down the river!
Great post. Great photos. Looks like a great place to visit, now I want to go.
Beautiful pictures! I was lucky enough to travel to Laos as well this summer and definitely suggest kayaking in Vang Vieng as well as a trip up to Luang Prabang which is breathtakingly beautiful and a more chill scene.
Im in Laos right now so Im wondering… Where did you find this yoga class in Vang Vieng?


Because of the expenses that go along with reworking kitchens, do-it-yourself kitchen reworking is gradually changing into a preferred alternative to hiring kitchen specialists. 1. Labor prices – There are tasks that you can simply do yourself and there are these which can be finest dealt with by contractors. For the same materials and design, European made tiles price 2-3x greater than China-made ones. Face-lifts must be confined to portray cupboards and updating hardware and lighting.
Redesigning your kitchen space could be expensive, notably in the event you employ a contractor in direction of the work, nevertheless a brand new kitchen can drastically increase home value. A good kitchen transforming designer ought to be able to give a reference of their completed initiatives.
Electrical, plumbing and gas add to the costs, making the kitchen renovation a much pricier change than another room in the house. I might also recommend filing the permit with a city, just for cabinets alternative it mustn't value you a lot – around $50-one hundred.
In different phrases, reworking a kitchen in Cleveland it is not a straightforward task. Remodel for a broad market – To provide your private home one of the best probability of selling, you will wish to go with impartial (white or stainless steel) appliances and primary cabinetry to attraction to a broader audience.
Lastly, one of the greatest price components for a kitchen rework is whether or not you are able to do any of the work yourself to save lots of on labor costs for a contractor. Plan the toilet flooring with the appropriate size and placements of the fixtures inside the room that will be largely environment friendly for your house too.

CAMBRIDGE, UK. Blighter Surveillance Systems has announced its Blighter Revolution 360, a lightweight, low-cost e-scan vehicle-mobile radar. The radar is capable of detecting small and slow-moving targets, even in cluttered environments, with its Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) Doppler fast-scan processing.
The Blighter Revolution 360 consumes less than 100 W of power and incorporates a 38 kg mast payload. It is capable of detecting a moving person 4.6 miles away, and a large vehicle 13.7 miles away.
The radar is deployable on vehicle or trailer masts and provides 360-degree surveillance with its specially-designed, maintenance-free cable drive azimuth positioner. At its most optimum, the radar can achieve full 360-degree scan surveillance in 12.5 seconds.
