The Motion Picture Sound Editors handed out their awards in a virtual ceremony with Pixar’s “Soul, “Tenet” and “Greyhound” among the winners.
The MPSE also awarded “The Trial of the Chicago 7” for outstanding achievement in sound editing – feature dialogue / ADR, and outstanding achievement in sound editing – feature musical went to “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of the Fire Saga.”
All the films have received Oscar nominations in numerous categories, with “Greyhound” and “Soul” nominated in the newly combined best sound category.
The Golden Reel Awards, recognizing outstanding achievement in sound editing, were presented in 22 categories encompassing feature films, long-form and short-form television, animation, documentaries, games, special venue and other media.
Academy Award-winning re-recording mixer Chris Jenkins presented the MPSE Filmmaker Award to “Mad Max” director George Miller.
The MPSE Career Achievement Award, honoring supervising sound editor Dennis Drummond, was presented by Academy Award-winning re-recording mixer Greg Orloff and three-time Academy Award-nominated re-recording mixer David Giammarco. (Drummond’s award was accepted by his brother, Peter Drummond.)
The opening address was given by MPSE President Mark Lanza, who invoked the challenges and benefits in hosting the ceremony remotely. “While I’m sure you will love the virtual experience, the show’s true purpose is to honor the nominated projects and the artists who crafted them,” he said. “In person or virtual, a Golden Reel Award is just as coveted. We congratulate the nominees and winners tonight as we recognize the best in sound over the past year.”
