Dolby Laboratories announced that all of the films nominated for Oscars® this year in the Sound Editing and Sound Mixing categories use Dolby® Digital or Dolby Digital Surround EX™ technology. The winners will be announced on February 27, 2005 during the 77th Annual Academy Awards®, which will be broadcast by ABC.

Films using Dolby audio technologies have been nominated for an Oscar Award 27 consecutive years.

Ottosson); and nomineed for sound mixing are The Aviator (Tom Fleischman, Petur Hliddal), The Incredibles (Randy Thom, Gary A. Rizzo and Doc Kane),
