“The Revenant” has won the top feature-film award from the Cinema Audio Society at a ceremony in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The film was competing in a category with “Bridge of Spies,” “The Hateful Eight,” “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” All of the CAS nominees except for “Hateful Eight” are also competing for the sound-mixing Academy Award, with “The Martian” taking that final slot at the Oscars.
The Cinema Audio Society has been giving out awards since 1993. In the last 22 years, its winner has gone on to win the Oscar for sound mixing 12 times.
