Best Sound Editing gets a tie? WTF?

[Kaiser Khorosho]

REALLY? Has this ever happened before? Glad Skyfall won something, but still...a tie. That seems kinda cheap.

From Wiki:

There have been three ties in Oscar history:

In 1932 Wallace Beery and Frederic March both won Best Actor, for The Champ and Dr. Jeckell and Mr. Hyde, respectively.
In 1968 Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand both won Best Actress, for A Lion in Winter and Funny Girl, respectively.
Most recently, in 2013, there was a tie for the Sound Editing oscar. Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty both won the award.

Hmm...not unprecedented but only happens every four and a half decades... confused

It's weird that this subject was the one with the tie. I'd figure it'd be something else.

you would think after 45 years they would put in place some kind of tiebreaker.
