Damn, he should have won

A record 19th loss for sound engineer

Sound engineer Kevin O‘Connell didn‘t take home an Oscar on Sunday night but he did put his name in the academy record book — for most Oscar losses, 19, without a win.
O‘Connell was nominated in the sound mixing category for "Apocalypto." He lost to "Dreamgirls."
"I would like this to happen while she‘s still around. I‘m sure she‘d like it to happen while she‘s still around," O‘Connell said.
"I‘ve definitely gotten more mileage out of losing than winning," he said. "Everybody kids me, then they all say,
We really want you to win.‘ I think they‘re tired of looking at my mug on TV."
