The people with whom he was competing were the best that are available. The other technicians were from the movie The Dark Night and Wall-E .They all came up to congratulate him after he had won the award. He looked the most happy when none other than the gorgeous Angelina Jolie came up to him and congratulated him. He almost looked awed by the moment.
