Yesterday, January 12, the Motion Picture Sound Editors announced the nominations for the current year awards and One Battle After Another and Sinners lead with 3 nominations.

Let's recall that nominees represent the work of the world's most talented sound artists and their contribution to the past year's most outstanding feature film, television, animation, and computer entertainment productions.

The MPSE Golden Reel Awards recognize outstanding achievement in sound editing in 24 categories encompassing feature films, television, animation, computer entertainment and student work; and covers the various areas of sound editing: Dialogue, ADR, Effects, Foley and Music.

The Career Achievement Award is presented to a person whose career has made a significant impact on the sound community through exemplary work, service, or leadership. Supervising Sound Editor Mark Mangini will receive the MPSE Career Achievement Award current year.

The Filmmaker's Award is bestowed upon an individual outside the sound community whose career has demonstrated a great appreciation and understanding of the impact of sound editing. Kathleen Kennedy will be honored this year with the MPSE Filmmaker Award.
