Cinema Audio Society (CAS) awards winners: ‘Sound of Metal,’ ‘Soul’ and more

The 57th Cinema Audio Society (CAS), which awards the best in sound mixing for film and television, held the 57th Annual CAS Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing for 2020 in seven categories, across film, television and more in a virtual ceremony tonight. Sound of Metal and Soul won the top feature film categories.

Greyhound, Mank, News of the World and The Trial of the Chicago 7 were also nominated here and match the Oscar nominees for Sound 4/5, with Soul replacing The Trial of the Chicago 7. The Motion Picture Sound Editors Guild announced yesterday where The Trial of the Chicago 7, Soul and Tenet were awarded.

In television, The Queen’s Gambit and The Mandalorian continued their guild wins as they have all season and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel also picked up a win.

“2020 was wrought with unprecedented challenges, yet the nominees of the 57th Annual CAS Awards display a stellar example of quality and creativity that rivals any of our previous years. This year’s celebration is a testament to the outstanding technical ingenuity and creative prowess of our sound mixing community,” said CAS President Karol Urban. “It is with immense admiration and pride that we announce our nominees for the 57th Annual CAS Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing.”

George Clooney received the Cinema Audio Society Filmmaker Award. Clooney’s achievements as a performer and a filmmaker have earned him, in part, two Academy Awards, four Golden Globes including the Cecil B. DeMille Award, four SAG Awards, one BAFTA award, an Emmy, and an American Film Institute Life Achievement Award. When Clooney received his eighth Academy Award nomination, he earned a special spot in the Oscar record books. He has now been nominated in more categories than anyone else in Oscar history.
