“Dune: Half Two” (characteristic results/foley), “Depraved” (characteristic music enhancing), and “Saturday Night time” (characteristic dialogue/ADR) had been the massive winners on the 72nd annual MPSE Golden Reel Awards, February 23 at The Ebell of Los Angeles. 

The characteristic worldwide award went to “Emilia Pérez,” the characteristic animation award belonged to “The Wild Robotic” (which has been sweeping the guild and honorary awards), and “The Blue Angels” took the characteristic documentary prize.

For TV, the Movement Image Sound Editors honored “Shōgun” (lengthy kind dialogue/ADR), “Ripley” (lengthy kind results/foley), “The Penguin” (lengthy kind music enhancing), “Earthsounds” (quick kind sound enhancing), and “Solely Murders within the Constructing” (quick kind music enhancing).

As beforehand introduced, the MPSE honored Kevin Costner (“Horizon”) with the Filmmaker Award and supervising sound editor Greg Hedgepath (“Tornado”) with the Profession Achievement Award.

As we head into the Oscar homestretch, “Dune: Half Two” and “Depraved” discover themselves in a three-way sound race with “A Full Unknown,” which took the reside motion sound mixing award this weekend on the 61st CAS Awards.

The “Dune” group, led by supervising sound editor Richard King (going for a file fifth Oscar), had extra battles on Arrakis, in addition to the noise of Harkonnen crowds in the course of the infrared gladiator fights on Giedi Prime. Crucially, there have been many sand recordings within the discipline and on the foley stage, essentially the most attention-grabbing of which had been low-end groans. Plus, the sandworms had been rather more outstanding and required extra motion sounds within the “Dune” sequel.

The “Depraved” group, led by supervising sound editors John Marquis and Nancy Nugent, recorded all the solo musical performances reside on-set (permitting dialogue supply to develop naturally into tune). However for the spectacular “Defying Gravity” climax, during which Elphaba flies away on her broomstick, Greatest Actress nominee Cynthia Erivo sang whereas flying on wires with silent wind targeted on her cape.

“A Full Unknown’s” sound group, led by supervising sound editor Donald Sylvester, pushed the early ’60s authenticity. The various musical performances (in golf equipment, on the Newport Folks Competition, and in recording studios) had been achieved primarily reside on set on the insistence of Greatest Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet, who spent 5 years getting ready for the half. The 22-minute Newport section was shot from starting to finish with 20 mics.
