Ironically, the primary reason the Academy consolidated sound editing and mixing into one category this season was due to increased overlap in recent years. However, despite the MPSE snub “Sound of Metal” will likely win the Oscar. After all, this is a film about sound because of the way it gets inside the head of Riz Ahmed’s heavy metal drummer as he slowly loses his hearing. It explores deafness as the contrast between sound and vibration, and the sound team created a visceral soundscape with the use of multi-directional mics, underwater mics, and even mics placed on the actor’s skull to capture the sound of his eyelids.
T Meanwhile, other MPSE winners included: “The Reason I Jump” (feature documentary), “The Eight Hundred” (foreign language), “Eurovision Song Contest” (musical), “The Mandalorian” (dialogue/ADR and effects/foley), and “The Queen’s Gambit” (music, dialogue/ADR, and effects/foley in a tie with “Star Trek: Picard”). Other CAS winners included: “Soul” (animated), “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart” (documentary), “The Mandalorian” (1/2 hour TV series), “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (1 hour TV series), “The Queen’s Gambit” (limited series), and “Hamilton” (specials). The MPSE honored George Miller (the “Mad Max” franchise) with the Filmmaker Award and supervising sound editor Dennis Drummond (“Dick Tracy”) with the Career Achievement Award. The CAS honored George Clooney (“The Midnight Sky”) as CAS Filmmaker and seven-time Oscar-nominated sound mixer William B. Kaplan (“Crimson Tide,” “Top Gun,” and “Back to the Future”) was given the CAS Career Achievement Award.
