MPSE nominations: Best Sound Oscar frontrunner ‘Oppenheimer’ reaps 3 bids

All five of our predicted Oscar nominees for Best Sound number among the contenders for the Golden Reel Awards bestowed by the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) announced on Jan. 16. Oscar frontrunner “Oppenheimer” reaped three bids across the six film categories. One of its closest Oscar rivals, “Maestro,” earned two nominations while the other three — “Ferrari,” “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “The Zone of Interest” — had to make do with one apiece.

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.

The Golden Reel Awards winners will be revealed during a ceremony on March 3.
