[Avid-L2] crowdsourcing an answer

Attached is a list of Best Editing OSCAR nominees and winners. Avid claims that the have no idea how many of these films were edited on an Avid. And by that, I mean that the PRIMARY OFF-LINE editing was done on a Media Composer, Film Composer or Symphony, not that some little piece or maybe the sound design was done in ProTools.

So, who knows either 1st hand or has a published reference (like from the ACE Magazine or a reputable post magazine) which software/hardware was used to cut the following movies? Or it's web accessible interview with the actual editor and they say what they cut on.

I already did the last three years using interviews directly with the editors that I found on the web (so I guess not THAT directly)...

Of the twelve nominees for Best Editing Oscars for 2010, 2011 and 2012, I believe that 10 were cut on Avid and 2 were cut on Lightworks (Hugo by Schoonmaker and King's Speech by Anwar).

I'd also like to get a list like this together for primetime Emmy nominated editors
