About “Tech Support”
"Tech Support" is an effort at In Contention to bring the spectrum of film awards coverage to a more complete and unique place by offering perspective and analysis of the peripheral, "technical" categories recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences each year. The fields included are art direction, cinematography, costume design, film editing, makeup, music, sound, sound editing and visual effects.
The column, written by Gerard Kennedy and published on Thursdays, will also pay close attention to the respective guilds of these various trades, following their nominations and awards processes as well. It is therefore our intention to afford the proper industry coverage to a stable of hard-working professionals who, more often than not, find themselves largely unrepresented by the general awards watching community.
