The Motion Picture Sound Editors ended this year’s long awards season on a high note last week when it hosted a special in-person reception for this year’s Golden Reel winners, which marked the group’s first major in-person event in two years.

The event was held on March 26 — nearly two weeks after the 69th Annual MPSE Golden Reel Awards — at the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, where this year’s winning sound editors were presented with gold GRA statuettes and joined by colleagues in celebrating their shared craft.

The event was a relaxed and intimate affair that carried a jubilant mood given that it was a reunion for many members, who were eager to mix it up with their colleagues after the past two years.

“It was a special night and a wonderful way to reconnect with old friends,” said MPSE President Mark Lanza. “Our board organized this event to recognize the fantastic work performed by our members and end the year on a high note.”
