   I knew someone who has been nominated 2 or 3 times, worked for the NFB   
   here in Canada at the time, it figures.  The first time she lost to   
   another NFB film, I forget the other times.  So we didn't get an Oscar   
   Winning Wendy that first time.   
      
   She told me they got to sit further back, which makes sense, not everyone   
   can sit in the front rows, but also a reflection of the "lesser category".
