Three of the five Oscar nominees for Best Sound won at the Golden Reel Awards bestowed by the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) on March 3 . The Oscar frontrunner, “Oppenheimer,” picked up the prize for effects/ foley and dialogue/ADR while another nominee, “Maestro,” waltzed off with the music award. “Society of the Snow” claimed the foreign language trophy over, among others, Oscar nominee “The Zone of Interest. The other two Oscar nominees — “The Creator” and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One “- were snubbed by the MPSE.

The upcoming Oscars mark the fourth year for the new Best Sound category, which combines Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing. There can be up to six nominees from a film: one production sound mixer, two supervising sound editors and three re-recording mixers.

Last year, “Top Gun: Maverick” won the prize for sound effects and foley here before prevailing at the Oscars. In 2022, “Dune” pulled off the same double act. And in 2021, “Sound of Metal” still won at the Oscars despite losing all five of its races at the MPSE awards.

In 2020 the war film “1917” won Best Sound Mixing while the auto racing drama “Ford v Ferrari” claimed the Best Sound Editing honor. Over the past decade, the two categories matched a half dozen times: “Inception” (2010), “Hugo” (2011), “Gravity” (2013), “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), “Dunkirk” (2017) and “Bohemian Rhapsody” (2018) claimed both honors.
