FINAL 2022 Oscar Predictions: SOUND

You’d be hard pressed to predict anything other than Dune for Sound; not only does it have the most sound in the now merged categories of sound editing and sound mixing, but it’s swept the precursors.

Here are my final Oscar predictions for Sound.

Mac Ruth, Mark Mangini, Theo Green, Doug Hemphill and Ron Bartlett

2. No Time to Die (MGM/UAR) – BAFTA, MPSE (2x), CAS

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.

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), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) 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.
