Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” took top honors at the 73rd annual Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards, Sunday at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre.
The film’s sound teams won for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Feature Dialogue / ADR and Outstanding Achievement in Music Editing – Feature Motion Picture.
The awards recognize outstanding achievement in sound editing, sound design, music editing and foley artistry in film, television and gaming.
Also in feature competition, Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Feature Effects / Foley went to “Frankenstein.” In animated feature, top honors went to the sound editors of “Zootopia 2.”
The results set up a competitive Oscar race in sound. “Sinners” and “Sirat” are both nominated in sound at the Oscars, which combines sound editing and mixing. The Cinema Audio Society, which represents sound mixing, gave its top honors to “F1” and “KPop Demon Hunters.” “F1” took home the award at the Bafta ceremony.
In TV, “Adolescence,” “Alien: Earth” and “Murderbot” were all recognized for their sound editing work.
Two honorary awards were also presented: Kathleen Kennedy received the Filmmaker Award and supervising sound editor Mark Mangini received the Career Achievement Award.
