The 63rd Golden Reel Awards had a surprising finish when the voting for the final and most prestigious award of the night – best sound editing: feature English language FX/Foley – resulted in a unusual tie between Mad Max: Fury Road and The Revenant. There was also a tie for best sound editing & music: direct to video live action with sound crews from both All the Wilderness and 7 Minutes taking home trophies.

The annual celebration of the art of sound editing on Feb. 27 brought the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) out to a black-tie ceremony at the Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Sound editors are usually heard, not seen, but the Golden Reel Awards were an opportunity to take to the spotlight and be recognized for audio excellence in 24 categories encompassing feature films, long-form and short-form television, animation, documentaries and other media.

In his opening address, outgoing president Frank Morrone revealed that this past year, sound was created for more than 400 television shows, 250 feature and 600 video games, a mammoth undertaking. He stated, “Tonight we honor not only nominees and winners, but the whole sound editing community, the men and women who work tirelessly to create the sonic landscapes we hear in cinemas, our home theaters, our tablets and our ear buds.” In accepting the reigns of the organization, new president Tom McCarthy committed to “innovation, diversification and growth.”

The annual MPSE filmmaker award was presented to director Sam Raimi by re-recording mixer Marti Humphrey and sound designer/supervising sound editor Jussi Tegelman. Raimi helmed the first three films of the Spiderman franchise and is currently executive producing the television series Ash vs Evil Dead.

Raimi shared his early experiences making silent Super-8 films and his discovery of the importance of sound. “It was a great learning experience working in silent cinema, but I remember the first time that we made a sound film,” said Raimi. “The fact is, when you can add music to carry the emotion, a sound effect for that punch, or in a car chase scene the sound of the squealing breaks, the marriage of sound and picture just explodes the power of the images on film. The marriage of the two takes it not just to twice the level, but 10 times the level of effectiveness that it was as a silent piece.”

Picture editor Lee Smith and re-recording mixer Doug Hemphill presented the career achievement award to supervising sound editor and sound designer Richard King. In a video homage, director Peter Weir commented, “Richard works with sound like a composer works with music,” while director Christopher Nolan credited King with “finding the emotional texture of the film.”

King had wanted to be a picture editor when he lived in New York, but he always enjoyed the sound part of the process as much or more than the picture editing. When he came out to California he decided he wanted to work with sound in a company that was making a lot of movies, which provided many opportunities. King had studied painting and saw an analogy between the two art forms, noting, “It’s a layering of textures to create an image.”
