This isn't exactly Oscar related, but it should be noted that voice legend Don LaFontaine has passed away at the age of 68. Don was probably the most heard voice in the world (yes, even beating out Jim Cummings). As "the voice" for trailers, Don was someone you would hear every time you went to the theater, letting us know when upcoming movies would be coming out. While there will always be voice actors to spice up trailers, the world feels a little sadder without the true legend. Here's a video to remember his wonderful career.
