“News of the World” and “Sound of Metal” led all films in nominations for the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ Golden Reel Awards, the MPSE announced on Monday. The two films each received three nominations in the seven Golden Reel film categories, including in the Feature Effects/Foley category, the MPSE category that most closely corresponded to the Oscars’ Best Sound Editing category.
(This year, the Academy has merged what were two sound categories, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing, into a single Best Sound category.)
Other nominees in the effect/foley category were “Cherry,” “Greyhound,” “The Midnight Sky,” “Tenet” and “Wonder Woman 84.” Films with two nominations include “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “The Midnight Sky,” “Tenet,” “Wonder Woman 84” and “Greyhound.”
In the television categories, “Snowpiercer,” “Better Call Saul,” “Ozark” and “The Queen’s Gambit” led all programs with three nominations each, while “The Umbrella Academy,” “Locke & Key,” “The Mandalorian,” “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “The Right Stuff,” “Raised by Wolves,” “Star Trek: Picard” and “Westworld” each received two.
The full list of the individual nominees in each category can be found at the MPSE website.
The winners will be announced on Sunday, April 16 in a virtual ceremony. Director George Miller will receive the MPSE Filmmaker Award at that ceremony.
