2018 Oscar Predictions: SOUND EDITING and SOUND MIXING (December Part 1)

Erik Anderson December 8, 2017

As we saw in Film Editing and Cinematography, Dunkirk continues to dominate the tech categories and Sound Editing and Sound Mixing is no different. Blade Runner 2049 is still runner-up in both of those as well and there is very little movement in either category at this time. They will likely remain so until the two major sound guilds, the Cinema Audio Society (CAS) and the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) chime in. Wonder Woman is the only film to inch its way up in both categories and there is one low-level debut this month, The Post in Sound Mixing.

These are the official 2018 Oscar Predictions in Sound Editing and Sound Mixing for the first half of November from the Gold Rush Gang. Keep an eye on all of the Gold Rush Gang’s 2018 Oscar predictions updated LIVE throughout the month.

Green – moves up from last month
Red – moves down from last month

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
