The award gala is a prestigious event accompanied by many extreme emotions. This year, one of the nominees for the award was Eric Saindon. Although he won the statuette, the evening did not end as expected. Soon after, the special effects specialist was hospitalized and underwent a major operation.
His presence at the gala was questionable. Before the event, he was in the hospital
Until the start of this year’s gala, it was not certain whether Eric Saindon would appear on it. The special effects man had been complaining of severe abdominal pain since the morning, which prompted him to visit a hospital in Beverly Hills. After undergoing tests, it turned out that the cause of the ailment was not the appendix or kidney stones that the doctors had initially diagnosed. Eventually, the filmmaker was given strong painkillers and decided to attend the party.
He won an Oscar for special effects. Then he was on the operating table
Eric Saindon appeared on the champagne carpet, and soon after took the stage, receiving the best special effects award for “Avatar. The Essence of Water”, directed by James Cameron. All the time he was accompanied by severe abdominal pain, which, despite the medications, did not subside. After receiving the award, the filmmaker posed for photos and took part in a press conference. A few minutes later, he was rushed to the hospital in a limousine. Tests were immediately performed, which showed a rupture of the small intestine, and the filmmaker underwent surgery. Saindon is currently in the intensive care unit and his condition is said to be stable.
