“Dune: Part Two,” “Emilia Perez,” “Wicked,” “The Wild Robot” and “Saturday Night” won one award apiece at the 72nd annual Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards, Sunday at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre.
In the feature competition of the annual awards, “Dune: Part 2” topped the category for effects and foley: “Saturday Night” collected the trophy for dialogue and ADR; “Wicked,” for music editing; “Emila Perez,” for sound editing in an international feature; and “The Wild Robot,” for sound editing in an animated feature.
The results set up a competitive Oscar race in sound. “Dune: Part Two,” “Emilia Perez,” “Wicked” and “The Wild Robot,” along with “A Complete Unknown” are nominated for the Oscar in sound, which combines sound editing and mixing. On Saturday, the Cinema Audio Society, which represents sound mixing, weighed in, giving its top awards to “A Complete Unknown,” for a live-action feature; and “The Wild Robot,” for an animated feature. A week ago, “Dune: Part Two” collected the BAFTA in sound.
The Golden Reel Awards honor achievements in sound editing, sound design, music editing and foley artistry in film, television and gaming. TV category winners included “Ripley,” “Shogun,” “The Penguin” and “Only Murders in the Building.”
During the Patton Oswalt-hosted evening, supervising sound editor Greg Hedgepath (“Speed,” “Twister”) was honored with the Career Achievement Award and Kevin Costner received the Filmmaker Award.
“Sound still remains the single greatest contribution to film,” Costner said, accepting the award. “You’ve made it happen for your directors. You’ve made it happen for me when it didn’t seem possible, and your fingerprints have made the difference in scenes and in moments that will never be forgotten in film.”
He added, “what I want to say is that I have depended on you, and I have been better because of your skill and your desire.”
The MPSE invited firefighters to attend the gala as special guests with the audience honoring them for their heroic efforts during the recent L.A. wildfires. Fundraising efforts were also part of the event.
