Motion Picture Sound Editors Present Golden Reel Awards

-

LR-MPSE-61-emailLR-MPSE-61Top honors at the 61st MPSE Golden Reel Awards were split between Gravity and Captain Phillips, with the former winning for best sound editing in feature film – sound effects and foley, and the latter taking best sound editing in feature film – dialogue and ADR. Frozen garnered the award for best sound editing in feature film – music, musical feature, while best sound editing in feature film – music went to The Great Gatsby.

Sound design editor, Ben Barker, and sound effects editor, Danny Freemantle, were on hand to accept the award for Gravity. They started working on the film early in the process, editing a proof-of-concept reel before production began. Because there is no sound in space, all the effects were conceived from the perspective of Sandra Bullock’s character and came from the vibrations of various objects she encountered.

The black-tie ceremony was held at the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles Sunday night. In his opening address to the packed house, MPSE president Frank Morrone quoted from director Cecil B. DeMille’s speech at the first Golden Reel Ceremony, saying, “Sound editors make the motion picture breath.”

Skywalker Sound’s award-winning director of sound design, Randy Thom, received the annual MPSE Career Achievement Award presented to him by Star Wars creator George Lucas. The renowned director called Thom “the most ardent crusader for sound. He is a true sound genius following in the footsteps of Walter Murch and Ben Burtt.”

In accepting his award, Thom acknowledged, “It’s a deep honor to be in the company of people who received this in the past.” Crediting his early work with Murch, Thom revealed, “My profession began at the best film school anyone could have… Apocalypse Now.” He spoke about the opportunities for creativity that exist because the best directors want collaborators and people with ideas, and shared his belief that sound could be 50% of a movie, if it were allowed to be.

The evening featured a special tribute to sound pioneer Ray Dolby, introduced by previous MPSE Career Achievement winner Walter Murch. In a video interview before he passed away, Dolby expressed his guiding principal that “what goes into the microphonecomes out of the loudspeaker.”In accepting the tribute to his father, Tom Dolby commented, “Some people are impressed by celebrities. I am impressed by people like Walter Murch. It’s in my DNA.”

Chosen from over five hundred submissions, the Golden Reel Awards recognized outstanding achievements in 24 sound editing categories encompassing feature films, long-form and short-form television, animation, documentaries and other media. MPSE vice president Mark Lanza and actor Navid Negahban (Homeland) injected humor into the show when Negahban wheeled a bound and gagged Lanza to the podium to present several awards. Negahban noted, “These guys are doing the work. Without them, we’d have a silent movie.”

Other presenters included sound artists Joanie Diener, Kim Jimenez, Tom McCarthy and Erik Aadahl, as well as actors Julia Parker, Dayo Okeniyi and Callan McAuliffe, and producer/director Jon Chu. Supervising sound editor Glenn Morgan and casting director Jeremy Gordon presented the Verna Fields Award for sound editing in student films and the Ethel Crutcher scholarship award to students from England’s National Film and Television School.
