Actors, try not to be too envious: Sound people can be nominated twice in the same year for the same film. Of course, that’s only if they did both sound editing and sound mixing on a feature, which is still something of a rarity. Gary Rydstrom is one of those exceptional double-threats and is up in both categories for “War Horse.”
Even if he doesn’t win either, his mantelpiece won't go wanting. Rydstrom already has seven Oscars: two for the ground-breaking “Terminator 2,” two more for “Jurassic Park,” one for “Titanic” and yet another pair for “Saving Private Ryan.”
