2013 Oscars Update: MPSE Nominations
The Motion Picture Sound Editors announced their nominations today for their Golden Reel Awards.
Funny, I thought they were announcing after Oscar nominations. I guessed they bumped them up to add extra intrigue or something. Which makes sense, even though nominations have been decided from a week ago. But now all the guilds are in, so that’s good. Allows us to guess a little better.
Here are your MPSE Nominations:
Best Sound Editing: Sound Effects and Foley
All Is Lost
Captain Phillips
Fast & Furious
Gravity
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Iron Man 3
Lone Survivor
They’re never that much help, because they have so many categories and so many nominees in the categories. How do you narrow shit down?
Best Sound Editing: Dialogue and ADR
12 Years a Slave
American Hustle
August: Osage County
Captain Phillips
Gravity
Her
Inside Llewyn Davis
Lone Survivor
So this tells me they liked Lone Survivor. Which I figured.
Best Sound Editing in an Animated Feature
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
The Croods
Despicable Me 2
Epic
Ernest and Celestine
Frozen
Monsters University
Planes
Way to narrow it down, guys. Way to go.
Best Sound Editing in a Foreign Language Feature
Blue Is the Warmest Color
The Grandmaster
The Past
Wadjda
One of these things is not like the others…
Best Sound Editing – Music in a Feature
Frozen
Inside Llewyn Davis
Justin Bieber’s Believe
Metallica Through the Never
Maybe I wrote that previous comment too soon…
Best Sound Editing – Music in a Feature
American Hustle
47 Ronin
Gravity
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

12 Years a Slave
World War Z
Sure.

So it seems like the only one that really matters is that first one — Sound Effects and Foley.
I assumed All Is Lost, Captain Phillips, Gravity and All Is Lost would be nominated. And Iron Man 3 and The Hobbit are on my list of alternatives.
Personally, I’m still sticking with Rush for now, though it’s looking more and more like Iron Man or 12 Years a Slave or American Hustle could sneak on some Sound nominations.
So, now we have this. Doesn’t change the outcome, but does make us rethink our predictions in the 11th hour.
