“Oppenheimer” led all films in nominations for the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ Golden Reel Awards, which were announced on Tuesday. The Christopher Nolan film received three nominations, while “Barbie,” “Maestro” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” each received two.
The MPSE announced nominations in 20 categories encompassing film, television, game and student projects. For Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Feature Effects/Foley, the Golden Reel category that most closely corresponds to the Oscar for Best Sound, the nominees were “Gran Turismo,” “Ferrari,” “John Wick Chapter 4,” “Napoleon,” “Oppenheimer” and “The Killer.”
The Oscars’ 10-film shortlist in the sound category includes Golden Reel nominees “Oppenheimer,” “Barbie,” “Maestro,” “Ferrari,” “Napoleon,” “The Killer,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and “The Zone of Interest,” along with “The Creator” and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” which were not nominated by the MPSE.
Last week, the other professional sound organization that gives out awards, the Cinema Audio Society, announced its nominations for sound mixing. “Oppenheimer” and “Ferrari” are the only two films to make the Golden Reel effects/foley category and the CAS live-action motion picture category.
In the broadcast categories, “The Last of Us” led with three nominations, followed by “All the Light We Cannot See,” “Ted Lasso,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Loki,” “Beef” and “The Bear” with two.
Winners will be announced at the MPSE Golden Reel Awards on Sunday, March 3 at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles. At the ceremony, Michael Dinner will receive the MPSE Filmmaker Award and Dane A. Davis will receive the MPSE Career Achievement Award.
