As most expected, WB/Legendary’s sci-fi epic Dune triumphed at the Cinema Audio Society‘s 58th Annual CAS Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing, which took place at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown on Saturday night.

Production Mixer Mac Ruth and Re-Recording Mixers Ron Bartlett and Douglas Hemphill shared the top award with Scoring Mixer Alan Meyerson, ADR Mixer Tommy O’Connell and Foley Mixer Don White. Dune is heavily expected to win the Oscar for Best Sound on Sunday night.

The teams from Questlove‘s documentary Summer of Soul and Disney’s animated movie Encanto also won their respective categories, while Yellowstone, Ted Lasso and Mare of Easttown topped the TV awards along with Apple’s acclaimed docuseries The Beatles: Get Back.

Legendary director and producer Sir Ridley Scott received the Cinema Audio Society Filmmaker Award, while re-recording sound mixer, Paul Massey, CAS was honored with the CAS Career Achievement Award.

Massey was unable to attend the ceremony in person, but his mother Bernice and his son Sean flew in from England to accept the CAS award on his behalf. “Paul’s father and I knew from a very early age he was going to revolve around music. He was that kind of a kid. He could hear the nuances in the sound of music,” said Massey’s mother, who moved some in the room to tears with her emotional speech.

“I am his mum and I am totally in awe of my son. The dearest privilege I have is the gift of knowing you,” she told Paul, who made a virtual appearance at the ceremony — as did Ridley Scott, who couldn’t make it because he’s busy filming Apple’s upcoming Napoleon movie overseas with Joaquin Phoenix, though he did make sure to thank Massey and his sound team, with whom he has worked with many times over the course of his illustrious career.

The CAS Outstanding Product Awards for 2021 were presented to Dolby Laboratories for the Dolby Atmos Renderer 3.7, and to Shure Incorporated for the Axient Digital ADX5D Dual-Channel Wireless Receiver. Meanwhile, Lily Adams, a student at Savannah College of Art and Design, was awarded the CAS Student Recognition Award and presented with a check for $5,000. The other four finalists each received $1,000. Co-sponsors of the Student Recognition Award  Blackmagic Design and DTS — provided the support for these gifts.

Throughout the night, winners mentioned #PresentAllAwards, which is the hashtag that has been bestowed on the collective effort to get eight below-the-line categories reinstated into the live broadcast. Thus far, the Academy has resisted pressure from more than 350 artists who have signed a letter decrying the org’s decision.

Writer-actor Kristen Vangsness (Criminal Minds) hosted the CAS Awards, which brought the Sound Mixers back together under one roof for the first time since the pandemic.

“After a couple of absolutely strange and tumultuous years, the community was really hungry to come together in the spirit of celebration and share their experiences with one another. There is much strength to be found in the camaraderie of our peers,” said CAS President Karol Urban.

The group also announced its newly elected CAS Board of Directors at the event, which was followed by an afterparty sponsored by Smart Post Sound. Celebrity attendees included Jack Alcott and Clancy Brown from Dexter: New Blood, Oscar-nominated songwriter Diane WarrenEuphoria actress Alanna Ubach, and Ivan Drago himself, Dolph Lundgren.
