Meanwhile, Toy Story 3 bested the competition in the Animated Feature category, beating
How to Train Your Dragon and Illusionist. In the Film Editing slot, Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter won for their work on
The Social Network. The work on
Inception received the gold for Sound Editing (Richard King) and Sound Mixing (Lora Hirschberg, Gary A. Rizzo and Ed Novick). The award for Best Art Direction went to Robert Stromberg (production design) and Karen O'Hara (set decoration) for
