Thursday evening, the Hollywood Post Alliance 2008 Awards were handed out, including editing wins for THE DARK KNIGHT, color grading for IRON MAN and audio post for WALL-E.
Per VARIETY, the HPA calendar ends early, meaning 2007 holiday releases are included with features released through summer 2008.
