Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) Announce Dates for 2027 and 2028 Awards
The Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE), the premier organization for entertainment sound editing professionals since 1953, today announced that the 74th and 75th Annual Golden Reel Awards will be held on Sunday, March 7, 2027 and Sunday, February 27, 2028 respectively.
Both ceremonies will take place at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles. A detailed submissions and voting timeline will be released in the coming weeks for the 74th ceremony.
“The dates for the 2027 and 2028 Motion Picture Sound Editors’ Golden Reel Awards have been set! We are thrilled and eagerly anticipate our annual gathering to honor the year’s accomplishments in sound editing, sound design, music editing, and foley artistry,” said MPSE President David Barber. “Gathering with our colleagues from around the globe to celebrate their artistic achievements is always a highlight of the year. We are especially excited to already be looking ahead to our 75th Annual Awards, the Diamond Celebration in 2028.”
In addition to presenting awards in competitive categories recognizing outstanding achievement in sound editing and foley artistry in film, television and game sound, the MPSE also presents two honorary awards annually: the MPSE Filmmaker Award and the MPSE Career Achievement Award, the recipients of which will be announced later this year. The 2026 honorees were Kathleen Kennedy and Mark Mangini, respectively.
Last year, theatrical feature film winners for MPSE awards included Sinners and Frankenstein, while nominee F1 went on to win the Oscar. In television, Adolescence, Alien: Earth and Murderbot were among the winners.
