Nominations have been announced for the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ (MPSE) 61st annual Golden Reel Awards, and it was “Gravity” and “12 Years a Slave” that led the way with three nominations each.
Picking up two apiece were “Captain Phillips,” “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” “Inside Llewyn Davis” and “Lone Survivor.” All are strong contenders with the sound branch at the Academy, which nominates in the Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing fields. “American Hustle” also picked up a pair of nominations, and if love for the film is THAT widespread, it could show up in the Academy’s sound mixing category.
Typically the biggest barometer of the sound editing side of things are the sound effects and foley MPSE categories. Films that popped up there that could absolutely show up in tomorrow’s nominations announcement include “All is Lost,” “Fast & Furious 6” and “Iron Man 3.”
Often the sound editing field makes room for an animated film. This year that doesn’t seem likely, though “Frozen” picked up a pair of nominations.
Oh, and “Rush” turned up a big ol’ goose egg, shockingly.
Check out the full list of nominees below, and remember to follow the season at The Circuit.
