The 60th Cinema Audio Society Awards are in full swing at the renowned Beverly Hilton, with Tom Papa at the helm as the host. The event aims to celebrate the best in feature film and TV sound mixing. Notable honors include JJ Abrams receiving the Filmmaker of the Year award and Joe Earl (known for American Horror Story and Six Feet Under) being recognized with the CAS Career Achievement Award.
One of the most anticipated categories of the evening is the Live Action Motion Picture category. Craftspeople from two of this year’s Best Sound Oscar nominees, Universal’s Oppenheimer and Netflix’s Maestro, are vying for the top spot. Joining them are contenders from Warner Bros’ Barbie, Neon’s Ferrari, and Apple’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Last year saw Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick taking home the prize in this category, later repeating the success at the Oscars.
In addition to Oppenheimer and Maestro, this year’s Oscar nominees in the Sound category include Disney’s The Creator, Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, and A24’s The Zone of Interest. The Documentary category is also worth watching, with sound mixers from the concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour among the nominees.
The TV categories at the Cinema Audio Society Awards feature a diverse range of titles that have made a mark during awards season. Nominees include popular shows like Succession, Beef, Ted Lasso, The Crown, The Last of Us, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, The Mandalorian, and Welcome to Wrexham.
This year’s event promises to be an exciting celebration of talent and innovation in the world of sound mixing across film and television. Stay tuned for updates on the winners as they are announced throughout the evening.
