As has been said, why is a science fiction quiz all about media? Readers know that over 95% of the best SF is written, not media. Well *I* picked...
I thought "King Kong" deserved the Oscar for FX, but Spielberg's WotW should have won for Sound.
Well I see there is *one* thread here that's not about movies or TV... I'll go with The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, too. For short stories... well...
